XRP Is Fundamentally Stronger Than Ever: Network Metrics Break Down

The Trump Organization has teamed up with a Saudi Arabian partner, Dar Global, to launch a luxury resort in the Maldives, exploring a new way to invest in luxury real estate through tokenization.

With this initiative, the company is giving investors the chance to be part of premium development projects from the very beginning. Read on to know more about the details. 

First Tokenized Luxury Project

In a latest press release, Dar Global, a London-listed luxury real estate developer, and The Trump Organization announced two significant milestones. According to their joint statement, they are unveiling the Trump International Hotel Maldives, marking the brand’s very first property in the Maldives, and the launch of the world’s first tokenized hotel development tied to the project.

The partnership introduces a new financial innovation, making it the first luxury hotel project to be tokenized for investment and also brings the Trump brand to one of the world’s most exclusive destinations.

The Trump International Hotel Maldives will feature 80 ultra-luxury beach and overwater villas, designed for travelers looking for privacy, exclusivity, and top-tier comfort. 

The resort is set to open by the end of 2028.

What Makes This Initiative Unique

Unlike previous models that tokenize completed assets, this initiative tokenizes the development phase itself, offering investors the opportunity to be involved in a high-growth, premium real estate project from inception.

Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization said that this will set a new benchmark for innovation in real estate investment through tokenization.

Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, said that tokenising Trump International Hotel Maldives will mark a global first, that combines luxury, innovation, and technology, transforming how the world invests in hospitality.

Trump Brand Expands in Gulf 

This development comes as President Trump and his family continue to expand their presence in the global crypto space. According to a report from Bloomberg, this project is part of a series of developments by the two firms, bearing Trump name.

Most of these projects are in the Gulf region, including Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar. Dar Global is building Trump Towers in Jeddah and Dubai, and is collaborating with the Trump Organization on resorts, luxury homes, and golf courses in Qatar and Oman.

Tokenization on the Rise

Tokenized real estate is gaining momentum. According to Deloitte Center for Financial Services, the value of tokenized real estate is expected to skyrocket from under $300 billion in 2024 to around trillion by 2035.

European Union efforts to mandate scanning of private messages have been blocked again, marking another setback for the bloc’s proposed Chat Control legislation, and another win for digital rights activists.

German digital rights activist and Pirate Party Germany politician Patrick Breyer wrote in a Nov. 15 X post that a backdoor, which he said mandated client-side scanning of messages, had been removed from the latest draft of the “Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse” proposal, more commonly known as Chat Control. According to him, the addition of the following line under the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU — which also saw the introduction of the backdoor clause — resolved the issue:

The draft used vague language referring to “all possible risk mitigation measures,” which, according to critics, would allow authorities to force service providers to implement chat scanning, especially since chat-scanning infrastructure is already in place for voluntary implementation.

In a Nov. 11 post, Breyer described the move as “political deception of the highest order,” noting that Chat Control is “coming back through the back door — disguised, more dangerous, and more comprehensive.” “The public is being played for fools,“ he said. Denmark introduced the backdoor amid an apparent step down in monitoring requirements in the bill.

This is the latest attempt by the EU Council to introduce mandatory chat scanning, including checking encrypted messages before they are sent from user devices. The previous attempt failed after Germany’s decision to reject the draft halted its progress.

Mandatory scanning removed, but key concerns remain

Breyer wrote in his X post that only mandatory chat control was removed from the proposal, which still contains anonymity-breaking age checks for communication services and voluntary mass scanning. He added that “the fight continues next year!”

The spotlight is currently on Shiba Inu, which is trading at the crucial level of $0.000009 as extreme fear returns to the market. Bitcoin slipped to its lowest level since May before paring some losses, as sentiment across the crypto market turned into extreme fear.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 10, or extreme fear which, according to crypto analyst Maartunn, was the lowest reading since July 2022.

Major tokens extended losses alongside Bitcoin, with Shiba Inu steadily falling for five out of six days from the Nov. 11 high of $0.00001026 to reach a low of $0.00000889 on Sunday.

Research firm 10x indicated that a confluence of factors suggests the market might have entered a bearish phase, with shifting Fed rate-cut expectations and thin liquidity accelerating price drops.

At press time, SHIB had recovered daily losses and was up 0.27% to $0.000009 but down 10.17% weekly.

Shiba Inu price bottom?

Shiba Inu has traded between $0.00000889 and $0.00000927 since Nov. 15 as it seeks to create a base following the recent sell-off.

If this is the scenario, Shiba Inu would seek to confirm a bottom in the $0.000008 range while resistance would be met at $0.0000104 and $0.0000123 (daily MA 50 and 200) in the event of a price rebound.

Japan greenlists Shiba Inu

Shiba Inu has secured a spot on Japan’s "Green List" of preapproved crypto assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum and 27 other crypto assets, a major development that reflects its market acceptance and positions it to benefit from a proposed government plan to reduce crypto taxes.

A Shiba Inu developer sent an official warning about a critical technical change happening on Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain for the SHIB ecosystem. The developer is warning all projects using Shibarium RPC to migrate from the old public endpoints.

Old Shibarium RPC endpoints shutting down soon

The SHIB developer, johndoeshib on X, urged community members to migrate to the new official RPC endpoint. According to the developer, old public RPC endpoints connecting to Shibarium will be permanently shut down very soon.

To maintain network access, all users must manually update their wallet settings to the new endpoint.

Those who need to act on the news are anyone running a Shibarium node or a custom setup, wallet providers and decentralized exchanges using Shibarium. This is in addition to regular users who manually added Shibarium to their wallet using the old RPC URLs, any dApp and block explorers.

RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call. Essentially, it is the gateway that allows a user’s wallet or a decentralized application to communicate with the Shibarium network. With RPC, users can send tokens, check balances or interact with smart contracts.

Thus, any user whose wallet or app is still pointing to the old RPC URLs will completely stop working once the old ones are turned off.

Why migration is necessary

This is not a routine update but part of a strategic push to improve Shibarium’s decentralization, stability and long-term resilience.

According to the Shiba Inu development team, this migration is the practical application of a long-term strategy to mitigate centralization risks. Shibarium Engineering Manager John Doe explained earlier that an over-reliance on a few public RPCs creates a potential single point of failure.

Thus, the Shiba Inu community is moving to a new, official and more stable, secure and decentralized RPC infrastructure. The migration is straightforward for the vast majority of users and requires immediate action, as the shutdown of old endpoints is happening soon.

Besides this update, the Shiba Inu team has teased a brand-new project. They described the new project as wallet-friendly, useful and unmistakably SHIB. 

The community responses were, however, mixed, as SHIB holders showed visible frustration with the team over severe price crashes.

The SHIB price has dropped more than 8% over the past 30 days to $0.000009064. However, the daily trading volume has increased 22.7% amid positive developments in the ecosystem.

Popular business literature author Robert Kiyosaki used his latest X post to return to Warren Buffett’s older comments about Bitcoin — the ones where the "Omaha Oracle" called it speculation instead of investment and warned that the real danger comes when the market builds up too much excess. 

All of this comes as Berkshire moves into a new stage, with Buffett preparing to hand the CEO role to Greg Abel by the end of 2025. Such Bitcoin remarks were made years ago, but they still get repeated whenever people discuss the asset. 

Traditional assets can break too

Kiyosaki’s first point is that the idea of traditional markets being a safer place to stand does not always match reality because stocks have long periods where they unwind unexpectedly, real estate cycles can flip fast and even U.S. Treasuries change direction when large foreign holders adjust their books. 

Berkshire Hathaway itself has been selling stocks for 12 straight quarters, the longest streak the company has ever seen, while building a massive position in Treasury bills that now covers roughly 5.6% of the entire market. The latest update shows Alphabet added and D.R. Horton removed, proving that even Berkshire keeps moving its exposure around.

Bitcoin same as gold and silver

The second point by Robert Kiyosaki is centered on issuance. Governments can increase the money supply whenever they need to, and financial markets can generate new paper products without limit, while Bitcoin stays capped at 21 million BTC.

Fixed supply is the key reason Kiyosaki places Bitcoin next to physical gold and silver as assets defined by scarcity rather than policy decisions.

Kiyosaki finished his post by saying the difference is not about who is right or wrong — it is about how each investor works with risk — and for him that means holding assets that no one can create more of, which is why Bitcoin stays in his portfolio.
