WhiteBIT, Europe’s largest crypto exchange by traffic, has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Durrah AlFodah Holding, represented by His Royal Highness Prince Naif Bin Abdullah Bin Saud Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, marking a major step toward advancing blockchain adoption and digital infrastructure development across Saudi Arabia.
The agreement—structured with advisory support from Seaside Arabia, which acted as the strategic consultant and subject matter expert—aims to catalyze national-scale digital transformation initiatives in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 economic diversification strategy.
Driving Large-Scale Digital and Financial Innovation
Through the partnership, WhiteBIT and Durrah AlFodah Holding will collaborate on several high-impact initiatives designed to modernize the Kingdom’s financial and data ecosystems. Key priorities include:
- Tokenization of Stock Market Instruments: Introducing blockchain-based digital securities to enhance transparency, liquidity, and accessibility for investors.
- Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Framework Development: Supporting research, infrastructure design, and technical architecture for a potential sovereign digital currency.
- National Data Computing & Mining Infrastructure: Establishing secure, large-scale facilities for data processing, blockchain computation, and digital asset mining.
As part of the collaboration, Durrah AlFodah Holding will support WhiteBIT’s entry into the Saudi market, including regulatory engagement and strategic partnerships. WhiteBIT, in turn, will contribute its technical expertise, infrastructure design capabilities, and experience building scalable blockchain systems. The two parties also plan to form a joint venture to execute and expand these initiatives.
Leadership Perspective
Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group, the parent company of WhiteBIT, said the collaboration represents an important milestone for the region’s digital future:
“It is an honor to work alongside the Holding of His Royal Highness Prince Naif Bin Abdullah Bin Saud to build the foundations of Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation. Together, we aim to establish secure and sovereign blockchain systems that will shape the Kingdom’s technological future.”
Strengthening Saudi Arabia’s Position in the Digital Economy
The cooperation underscores a shared ambition to position Saudi Arabia as a leading hub for blockchain innovation, digital finance, and secure data infrastructure. By combining local governance leadership with global technological expertise, the initiative aims to deliver critical infrastructure that supports long-term national competitiveness.
