Saudi Vision 2030 Gets a Crypto Makeover (Or Is It Just a Fancy Haircut? ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽจ)

The agreement, announced in Riyadh on Nov. 18, was facilitated by Seaside Arabia, which probably charged extra for the “royal treatment.” The collaboration aligns with Saudi Arabiaโ€™s Vision 2030 objectives, which, if we’re being honest, is just a fancy way of saying “We need to stop relying on oil and start relying on… more oil? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ”

Letโ€™s just print more money and call it a day. ๐Ÿ’ธ

Another priority involves developing national data computing and mining centers. Because nothing says “secure data processing” like building a data center in the middle of a desert. ๐Ÿœ๏ธโšก The companies intend to establish a joint venture to advance and scale these initiatives as they move through regulatory and operational stages. Because nothing says “regulatory compliance” like a joint venture with a prince. ๐Ÿค

Durrah AlFodah will lead market entry pathways, regulatory engagement, and local partnerships for WhiteBIT, while the exchange will contribute its technical expertise and infrastructure design. Because nothing says “technical expertise” like a prince with a spreadsheet. ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿ‘‘ WhiteBIT Founder and W Group President Volodymyr Nosov said the collaboration reflects a shared ambition to build secure digital systems and contribute to Saudi Arabiaโ€™s technological future. Or, as we call it, “Letโ€™s pretend weโ€™re not still using paper money.” ๐Ÿ“„

The partnership aims to position Saudi Arabia as a regional center for blockchain innovation, digital finance development, and data sovereignty. Because nothing says “data sovereignty” like a country thatโ€™s also a desert. ๐Ÿœ๏ธ๐Ÿ”
