San Salvador, El Salvador – April 11, 2024 – Bitfinex Securities El Salvador SA de CV, a securities token platform, is pleased to announce the official launch of a token debt issuance for the construction and development of the new Hampton by Hilton hotel complex based at El Salvador International Airport.
The issuance will be the first to be arranged and traded on Bitfinex Securities El Salvador SA de CV, which has become the first regulated entity to obtain a license to operate under El Salvador's Digital Asset Securities Law.
The construction project includes the development of a 4,484-square-meter facility spread over five levels, comprising 80 rooms, five commercial spaces, and other hotel amenities including a swimming pool, restaurants, gym, gardens, and multi-purpose rooms.
This tokenized debt will be issued by Inversiones Laguardia SA de CV (HILSV), which has been active in El Salvador since 2017. The issuance aims to raise US$6.25 million and offers a 10% coupon over 5 years. The minimum investment is US$1,000, and the hotel operator uniquely offers investment incentives for free hotel stays based on the amount of investment achieved.
The token will be issued under the symbol HILSV, and will be traded against the US dollar and Tether tokens. HILSV tokens will be issued on Liquid Network, a sidechain of Bitcoin, using Blockstream AMP.
“HILSV token represents the first digital asset token from El Salvador and represents an important step forward in the development of the emerging capital market as well as the introduction of a new major asset class to the market,” he said. Paolo Ardoino, CTO at Bitfinex Securities. “For the first time, investors who would not normally have the opportunity to invest in such assets have the opportunity to do so, while issuers in markets that have less access to capital are able to leverage a new asset class to raise financing.”
commented Jesse Knutson, COO of Bitfinex Securities“This capital raise represents not only our first project in El Salvador, but also a testament to the transformative power of Bitcoin-based capital markets. We are proud to contribute to El Salvador’s growth and look forward to creating significant job opportunities through this endeavor.”
“The recently implemented digital asset laws will give us access to capital markets that was not previously available to us. This access will allow us to develop critical tourism-related infrastructure, thus unleashing the growth potential of the tourism sector. This expansion will ultimately lead to benefits economic for every Salvadoran citizen. said Roberto LaGuardia, President of Inversiones Laguardia
This initiative is expected to generate approximately 1,000 job opportunities during the construction phase and up to 5,000 direct and indirect job opportunities during the operational phase. The capital raising process will begin on May 13, 2024, and is expected to extend for one month.
