🤑 Trump & Saudi Arabia: Tokenizing the World, One Beach Villa at a Time! 🌴

by

Saudi Arabia is basically the Beyoncé of blockchain now, slaying the real estate tokenization game. 🎤 The Kingdom dropped 4,000 blockchain company registrations in 2025, a 51% YOY growth that’s like, “Move over, Silicon Valley, we’re here to crypto-party.” 💃

From tokenized hotels to digital currency frameworks, Vision 2030 is less of a plan and more of a flex. 💪

Trump & Saudi Arabia: Making Tokenized Hotels Great Again 🏨✨

The Trump Organization and Saudi Arabia’s Dar Global just dropped the world’s first tokenized hotel in the Maldives. 🌴 Yes, you read that right-tokenizing the development phase because why wait for the finished product when you can sell beach vibes in digital chunks? 🏖️ The 80-villa luxury resort is set to open by 2028, marking Trump’s first Maldives gig and a new way to finance fancy vacations. 🍾

Real estate tokenization is like breaking a pizza into slices, but instead of cheese, it’s beachfront property. 🍕 Each digital token represents a piece of ownership, making high-value assets accessible to more people. Lower costs, more liquidity, and transparency? It’s the financial equivalent of a mic drop. 🎤

Eric Trump called it “transformative,” which is corporate speak for “this is gonna make us a lot of money.” 💰 Teaming up with London-listed Dar Global, they’re basically the Avengers of hospitality investment. 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

The announcement dropped during Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Washington visit, where he upped Saudi Arabia’s US investment to $1 trillion. 🤑 Trump spoke at the Kennedy Center, because nothing says “economic partnership” like a gilded ballroom and awkward applause. 👏 But let’s be real, the timing has everyone side-eyeing the overlap between Trump’s business and US foreign policy. 🤨

Saudi Arabia: Blockchain’s New BFF 💻🤝

Saudi Arabia isn’t just cozying up to the US-it’s going full blockchain with WhiteBIT, Europe’s crypto traffic king. 🚀 Together with Durrah AlFodah Holding, they’re tokenizing the Saudi stock market, designing a digital currency, and building data centers like it’s nobody’s business. 💽

With 4,000+ blockchain companies registered in 2025 and a digital economy worth SAR495 billion (15% of GDP), Saudi Arabia is less of a country and more of a tech unicorn. 🦄 Data center capacity jumped 42% in 2023, because apparently, the future runs on megawatts. ⚡

WhiteBIT’s 8 million users and $2.7 trillion in 2024 trades? That’s not just a partnership-it’s a power move. 💪 Saudi Arabia is positioning itself as the blockchain leader in the region, blending crypto with traditional finance like a boss. 💼

Meanwhile, Saudi developer RAFAL teamed up with US Web3 firm droppRWA to let Saudis buy premium property shares for as little as 1 riyal ($0.27). 🏠 That’s right, you can now own a piece of Riyadh for less than a latte. ☕ Foreign investors are taking notes. 📝

UAE vs. Saudi: The Crypto Olympics 🏆

Saudi Arabia isn’t the only player in the Gulf’s blockchain game. The UAE is already the crypto prom queen, with Dubai hosting major exchanges and Abu Dhabi crafting its own rules. 👑 The Abu Dhabi royals reportedly hold $700 million in Bitcoin, because why not? 💎 This competition could either spark innovation or turn the region into a crypto Wild West. 🤠

Saudi Arabia’s challenge? Building a local blockchain workforce. Unlike the UAE’s expat-heavy model, the Kingdom needs to grow its own talent. 🌱 If they pull it off, these projects could be game-changing. If not, well, it’s a lot of tokenized villas with no one to code them. 🤷‍♀️
