Indian city of Ahmedabad to stage 2030 Commonwealth Games
Ahmedabad, India, has been officially selected to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games, marking the centenary of the sporting event. The decision was confirmed at Wednesday’s Commonwealth Sport General Assembly in Glasgow. This will be India’s second time hosting the Games, following New Delhi in 2010. Ahmedabad won the bid over Abuja, Nigeria, while Canada, which hosted the first Games in 1930, did not submit a bid. Meanwhile, Glasgow will organise a scaled-down version of the 2026 Games after Victoria, Australia withdrew due to cost concerns.

Trump Organization and Dar Global launch tokenised luxury resort project in the Maldives
The Trump Organization has partnered with Saudi-backed developer Dar Global Plc to launch Trump International Hotel Maldives, introducing the world’s first tokenised hotel development. The project, located 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé, will offer about 80 ultra-luxury beach and overwater villas and aims to open by the end of 2028.
Through the partnership, investors can gain fractional digital ownership by purchasing tradeable tokens that represent shares in the hotel’s development phase—rather than waiting for the project to be finished. This model uses blockchain technology to divide economic rights tied to the resort into digital units for trading on regulated platforms, expanding global access to early-stage real estate investment.
Dar Global, a London-listed subsidiary of Dar Al Arkan, and the Trump brand have combined to tap into the growing market for real estate tokenisation, which Deloitte projects could reach $4 trillion by 2035.
