Bitfinex Securities, a leading digital asset platform, has announced plans to refund investors involved in its ambitious Hilton hotel venture at El Salvador’s international airport. This project, pioneering the public offering of digital debt assets in the country, faced a significant setback after failing to meet its minimum funding target of $500,000.&nbsp;
Despite attracting only $342,000 from investors initially, representing a mere 5% of its $6.25 million goal, Bitfinex has assured full refunds to all participants, as confirmed by a spokesperson.

However, Bitfinex intends to recalibrate its approach before initiating any immediate actions. The platform anticipates a restructuring of the offering by the issuer, Inversiones Laguardia S.A. de C.V., although specific plans from the issuer remain undisclosed. Consequently, the public offering has been temporarily removed from Bitfinex’s website.
Originally intended to finance the construction of a Hampton by Hilton hotel spanning 4,500 square feet across five levels, featuring 80 rooms, dining facilities, a gym, and more, the project garnered interest through the purchase of “HILSV” tokens on the Bitcoin layer 2 Liquid Network. Investors, required to commit a minimum of $1,000, were promised a 10% coupon over 5 years.
El Salvador’s progressive stance on cryptocurrency adoption was pivotal in this venture. Since granting Bitfinex a digital asset service provider license in April 2023, the country has sought to integrate real-world asset tokenization into its financial landscape. Bitcoin commentator Stacy Herbert highlighted Bitfinex’s initiative as a transformative step in local capital markets, providing new avenues for financial market participation among residents.
Despite this setback, El Salvador continues to explore avenues to expand financial services accessibility for Bitcoin users, aiming to establish investment banks with fewer regulatory constraints than traditional financial institutions.
