Revolutionizing Investment in El Salvador: Bitfinex Securities’ Tokenized Bond Offering
Bitfinex Securities, a prominent securities trading platform, has introduced a new tokenized bond offering to support the development of El Salvador’s first airport hotel. This initiative marks a significant milestone for Bitfinex Securities in El Salvador, operating under the country’s Digital Asset Securities Law.
Overview of the Project and Fundraising Details
The project entails the construction of a five-story Hampton by Hilton hotel at El Salvador’s international airport, covering 4,484 square meters with 80 rooms, commercial spaces, and various amenities like a swimming pool, restaurant, gym, garden, and multipurpose room. The fundraising target is set at $6.25 million, with a 10% annual interest rate over a 5-year term. Investors can get involved with a minimum of $1,000 USD, using the token code HILSV, which will be tradable on the Liquid Network, a Bitcoin sidechain. Exclusive incentives include complimentary hotel stays based on investment amounts.
Insights from Bitfinex Securities and Partners in the Project
Paolo Ardoino, the CTO of Bitfinex Securities, views the HILSV project as a pioneering digital asset tokenization initiative in El Salvador, introducing fresh avenues for investors and enterprises. Jesse Knutson, the Director of Operations at Bitfinex Securities, takes pride in contributing to El Salvador’s progress and job creation through this venture.
