WhiteBIT, the largest European cryptocurrency exchange by traffic, has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Durrah AlFodah Holding, represented by His Royal Highness Prince Naif Bin Abdullah Bin Saud Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, to drive the Kingdom's advancement in blockchain technology, digital finance, and data infrastructure.

This landmark agreement was facilitated by Seaside Arabia, which served as the strategic consultant and subject matter expert throughout the process, guiding the framework and objectives of the partnership. This cooperation aligns directly with the strategic pillars of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, fostering economic diversification, technological innovation, and digital transformation across the Kingdom's public and private sectors.

The partnership sets the foundation for key national-scale projects within the Kingdom, including:

  • Stock Market Tokenization – introducing blockchain-based digital securities to enhance transparency, accessibility, and liquidity in the Saudi financial market;
  • Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Framework Development – supporting infrastructure research and design for a sovereign digital currency ecosystem;
  • National Data Computing and Mining Centers – building secure and large-scale facilities for data processing, blockchain computation, and digital asset mining.

Under the agreement, Durrah AlFodah will facilitate WhiteBIT's market entry, regulatory engagement, and partnership development across Saudi Arabia, while WhiteBIT will provide technological expertise and infrastructure design. The collaboration also envisions the formation of a joint venture company to manage and scale these initiatives.
