Bitfinex Securities spearheads tokenisation of Hilton hotel

The investors are seizing the unprecedented opportunity in EI Salvador’s burgeoning capital market. Bitfinex Securities, the country’s premier licensed digital asset provider, spearheads the tokenisation of a new Hampton by Hilton hotel project.

Under the aegis of Bitfinex Securities, investors will soon have the chance to own fractional shares of a state-of-the-art hotel, strategically located at El Salvador’s international airport. With a targeted raise of $6.25 million, investors can participate in this innovative venture, receiving a 10% coupon over a five-year term.

“This represents an important step forward in developing its nascent capital market as well as introducing a major new asset class into the market,” said Paolo Ardoino, chief technology officer of Bitfinex Securities in an April 11 statement.

Investors get an extra return

Investors will need to make a minimum $1,000 investment to purchase the token under the ticker HILSV on the Liquid Network. Liquid was built by Blockstream in 2018, a Bitcoin-focused infrastructure firm led by long-time cypherpunk Adam Back.

The hotel project itself promises to be a beacon of luxury and comfort, boasting five levels, 80 rooms, and an array of amenities including restaurants, a swimming pool, and multipurpose spaces. HILSV token holders will be offered some free nights’ accommodation at the hotel based on the size of their investment.
