Saudi Arabia and U.S. Property Purchases with XRP Claim Unverified

A claim surfaced alleging Saudi Arabia allows U.S. citizens to purchase property using XRP (Ripple). No official confirmation from Saudi authorities exists, and key sources indicate alternative digital asset strategies within corporate treasury contexts.

HRH Prince Abdulaziz initiated a significant $121M investment into XRP via VivoPower International PLC, aiming to implement a digital asset treasury model. Despite investment movements, Saudi policies on U.S. real estate purchase with XRP remain unvoiced. “We have been investors in the digital asset sector for a decade and have been long-term holders of XRP. After reviewing a number of listed vehicles seeking to embrace a digital asset treasury model, we selected VivoPower given its strategic focus on XRP and its objective to contribute to building out of the XRPL ecosystem,” said HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Abdulaziz Al Saud, Chairman of Eleventh Holding Company.

Recently, markets have reacted to the claims, though without formal actions from Saudi agencies. The cryptocurrency community actively discusses this news, but relies primarily on non-official sources, leaving legitimacy and impact in question.

The financial implications largely concern VivoPower’s strategy rather than broader Saudi regulations. Despite corporate adoption of XRP, there’s no official impact on real estate purchase policies or Saudi-U.S. bilateral property transactions.

A possible shift in perceptions of digital assets is suggested. However, until confirmed by primary entities, changes in Saudi real estate markets appear speculative and primarily driven by investment, not regulatory frameworks.

If XRP integration were real, it could open new doors for digital asset adoption in property markets. However, the lack of substantive evidence and historical precedents implies we await further announcements or documented strategies from official channels.
