Trump’s Vision: Gaza on the Blockchain
The Trump administration Gaza proposal is drawing global scrutiny after reports surfaced of a radical blueprint to reshape the territory under U.S. oversight.
According to The Washington Post, a 38-page document titled the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust (GREAT Trust) outlines a 10-year U.S. trusteeship that would manage Gaza’s future following the war.
At the center of the plan is a tokenized land scheme, where Palestinian property would be digitized on a blockchain. Residents would be offered tokens in exchange for their land, which could later be redeemed for cash, an apartment in newly built “smart cities,” or relocation outside Gaza.
The proposal also promises each departing resident $5,000, four years of rent subsidies, and food assistance for one year.
Critics Call It a Digital Land Grab
Human rights and civil rights groups have already slammed the proposal. The Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) labeled the initiative “morally abhorrent, illegal under international law, and tantamount to a war crime of historic proportions.”
The plan was reportedly drafted by the team behind the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, with financial modeling linked to former Boston Consulting Group (BCG) strategists.
While insiders suggest the project reflects Donald Trump’s vision for Gaza, it remains unclear if it has official backing.

Blockchain, Tokens, and Speculation
The GREAT Trust promotes what it calls an “innovative funding model” centered on a blockchain registry of land ownership.
Gaza’s land would be split into tradable digital tokens.
Investors could buy tokens to fund reconstruction and speculate on secondary crypto markets.
Profits could be redirected into a Palestinian Wealth Fund — though the document admits the plan becomes “more profitable if more Gazans leave.”
Smart Cities and Mega Projects
Beyond tokenization, the proposal envisions six to eight futuristic AI-powered smart cities built across Gaza. These would run entirely on ID-linked digital systems, powering everything from housing to healthcare.
The plan also outlines 10 mega-projects, including:
- Highways and railways
- Modern ports
- An AI datacenter
- Artificial resort islands
- An “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone” (Elon Musk)
Trump has previously suggested turning Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East”, signaling how closely this proposal aligns with his rhetoric.
The Big Picture
If implemented, the Trump Gaza blockchain plan would represent one of the most radical experiments in using crypto, AI, and tokenization to reshape geopolitics.
But with accusations of forced displacement, land theft, and profiteering, the proposal is already being framed less as humanitarian reconstruction and more as a crypto-powered colonial venture.
