Main article
Al Rajhi Capital and droppRWA have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the tokenization of Rabigh Oasis, Saudi Arabia’s largest integrated industrial and logistics platform under development on the Red Sea coast.
The 10-million-square-meter mega-hub connects King Abdullah Port, Rabigh Airport, and the Saudi Land Bridge rail project, positioning it to become the Middle East’s first tokenized industrial infrastructure project. Both parties will work together to structure Sharia-compliant tokenized investment models enabling institutional investors to access fractional ownership of warehouses, logistics nodes, and manufacturing facilities.
droppRWA previously completed Saudi Arabia’s first publicly acknowledged blockchain-verified property transaction and continues to develop digital frameworks for the real estate sector. This MoU extends that work to industrial assets at national scale, supporting Vision 2030 and the Kingdom’s FDI ambitions.
Hossam Albasrawi, CEO of Al Rajhi Capital, said: “Tokenizing marks a transformational step in opening Saudi industrial infrastructure to global institutional capital—securely, transparently, and in full alignment with Vision 2030.”
Rabigh Oasis is already 40 percent complete and is being developed as a bonded industrial zone serving aerospace components, medical devices, renewable energy, food processing, automotive assembly, and petrochemical support industries.
“Industrial tokenization is very different from residential,” said Faisal Al-Monai, Chairman of droppRWA. “These are long-term cash-flowing assets. Institutions want exposure, but traditional structures can be costly, illiquid, and frictional. droppRWA’s Trust Stack solves these issues while maintaining full sovereign regulatory control.”
Strategically located on the Red Sea, Rabigh Oasis is positioned as a major export and manufacturing hub. Tokenization, explored under the MoU, would enable compliant global participation aligned with CMA regulations and Sharia principles.
Al Rajhi Capital is a closed joint-stock company licensed by the CMA under license number 37/07068 to conduct securities business and is wholly owned by Al Rajhi Bank.
