droppRWA, a sister company of Web3 technology provider DroppGroup,has partnered with Saudi Arabia's real estate developer RAFAL Real Estate Co, to execute the kingdom's first-ever real world asset (RWA) tokenization transaction.
The transaction is a strategic inflection point as the RAFAL pilot will serve as a national feasibility benchmark for the future of tokenized property markets both in and beyond Saudi Arabia.
The collaboration aims to introduce fractional ownership of high-value real estate assets, enabling everyday Saudi citizens to invest with amounts starting as low as single-digit Riyals. This democratized access model aligns directly with Vision 2030's goals of financial inclusion, digital transformation and citizen empowerment.
This initiative is also designed to attract institutional-grade foreign capital through compliant digital technology rails.
droppRWA will conduct a full feasibility study for property tokenization across RAFAL's portfolio.
A fully regulated proof-of-concept will be developed and executed, with RAFAL supplying live real estate assets for controlled transaction testing.
Faisal Al Monai, a droppRWA co-founder, "This transaction marks a paradigm shift. Around the world, we are witnessing the greatest digital transformation of the 21st century - the transformation of capital itself. The mission of this partnership positions Saudi Arabia at the forefront of programmable economies, with real-world impact for every citizen - starting at just 1 Riyal,you can "own a piece of Vision 2030."
"And for institutional and global capital, this will be a fully regulated pilot that provides a secure on-ramp for institutional-grade Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) into Saudi Arabia. It merges stablecoin liquidity with sovereign-grade infrastructure, bringing real-world assets onto the blockchain with trust, speed and scale."

Elias Abousamra, CEO, RAFAL Real Estate, "At RAFAL, we have always believed that real estate should be both aspirational and accessible. This partnership with droppRWA is not just about technology - it's about democratizing real estate investment and creating a global platform for foreign direct investment into the promising Saudi market. For the first time, a young Saudi can own a piece of a premium development with just a few Riyals. That's a powerful idea. Together with our partners, we are proud to pioneer a new model of ownership that speaks to the inclusive and innovative spirit of Vision 2030.

US sanctions money laundering network aiding Iran as regime faces nuclear reprimand at IAEA
The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned some 35 individuals involved in laundering money for Iran on Friday as the administration seeks to make a deal with Iran over its nuclear weapons program. A State Department spokesperson said in a statement that,"This network has laundered billions of dollars through Iranian exchange houses and foreign front companies to sustain Tehran's campaigns of terror that undermine international peace and security and line the pockets of regime elites." Meanwhile, tensions with Iran continue, with the Associated Press reporting that Western powers are considering a resolution at the IAEA that would formally declare Tehran in non-compliance with its nuclear obligations. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the move a "strategic mistake" and accused the U.K., France, and Germany of choosing "malign action" over diplomacy. "Mark my words as Europe ponders another major strategic mistake: Iran will react strongly against any violation of its rights," he wrote on X. The draft resolution, expected to be introduced next week, would mark the first time in two decades that Western nations bring such a motion against Iran at the IAEA. As U.S. and Iranian negotiators engage in fragile talks, voices from within Iran reveal a grim paradox: while many citizens desperately seek relief from crushing economic hardship, they fear any deal may only tighten the Islamic Republic's grip on power. "Right now, people in Iran do not have any hope for anything," said a female journalist in Tehran, who spoke anonymously out of fear for her safety. "The economy is collapsing. We sometimes don't have electricity or water. The value of the rial is falling. Life is becoming unlivable." Like many Iranians, she believes an agreement could temporarily ease inflation and halt the country's economic freefall. But she—and many others—fear the unintended consequences. "If the regime reaches a deal, it could become more powerful and more confident in suppressing people. That's what frightens us the most," she said. Under Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran has faced growing unrest at home, triggered by economic pain, political repression, and widespread mistrust. As negotiations proceed, Iranian citizens are watching closely—but not with optimism. WHITE HOUSE URGES IRAN TO ACCEPT NUCLEAR DEAL AS IAEA REPORTS URANIUM ENRICHMENT SPIKE "People in Iran are caught in a dilemma," said another Tehran resident, a man who also requested anonymity. "On one hand, they want the regime to fall. On the other, the economic burden is so heavy that any deal offering relief feels like a lifeline. But the truth is, even if a deal is signed, ordinary people won't benefit. We've seen this before." He pointed to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Obama-era nuclear agreement that promised economic benefits but, according to many Iranians, never delivered meaningful change for the public. "Only those connected to the regime gained anything," he said. "For the rest of us, life stayed the same." While Iranian leaders claim the nuclear program is peaceful, the U.S. and allies remain concerned about uranium enrichment levels nearing weapons-grade levels. Trump has demanded a full halt to enrichment, while Khamenei insists on retaining it. "I'm a journalist, and we work under extreme censorship," said the woman in Tehran. "We're not allowed to mention U.S. or Israeli military capabilities. We can't publish anything about the talks without approval." She described a system where state censors dictate what reporters can and cannot say—down to the vocabulary. "It's not just the content—it's the individual words. And that makes journalism almost impossible." In the interviews with Fox News Digital, Iranians expressed deep skepticism that Khamenei would abide by any agreement. "He lies," the journalist said bluntly. "What he says publicly is never what he actually does. He manipulates both the public and foreign governments. No one should trust a dictator like him." The man echoed the sentiment. "The regime's survival depends on its hostility toward the U.S. and Israel. If it truly committed to a deal, it would undermine its own ideological foundation. That's why no one believes it can last." Recent months have seen a resurgence of protest activity in Iran, including a growing nationwide strike by truck drivers demanding fair wages and lower fuel prices. Though largely ignored by international media, these strikes follow years of widespread protests—most notably the 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" uprising sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in morality police custody. That movement, along with economic demonstrations in 2019 and 2021, was met with violent crackdowns, mass arrests, and internet blackouts. The pattern has left Iranians wary that any sign of instability is met with brutal suppression. An Iranian student pointed to the truckers' strikes currently roiling parts of Iran as a sign of grassroots unrest. "These strikes are a direct message from the people," he said. "They've been largely ignored by the media, but they are powerful and legitimate. This is how change begins—if it's allowed to."

LIV Golf CEO on his tour's successes, obstacles and ‘purity of mission'
Scott O'Neil started as LIV Golf's new CEO in January, taking over from Greg Norman, who helped launch the breakaway tour and guided it through its first three seasons. The Saudi-funded circuit has made headway in some areas but has faced headwinds in plenty of others. O'Neil spoke with The Washington Post Friday, as LIV's Virginia event prepared to tee off at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, to discuss the state of the league, its successes and its challenges. Some answers have been edited for brevity. Question: When you started this job six months ago, you talked about the headwinds turning into tailwinds. Now that you're halfway through the season, what's surprised you the most? Are the obstacles bigger than you expected? O'Neil: The biggest surprises are, No. 1, we're the good guys. I think I've been really impressed with our players, with our executive team, with the way we approach the world. You know, it's such purity of mission. Second surprise is how cross-cultural golf is. Music, actors and athletes — you cannot turn around without finding somebody else was falling in love with the game of golf. And the numbers would play that stuff out. In terms of the headwinds and the tailwinds, I mean, you know, sports leagues are pretty simple, right? It's competition. Television, marketing, branding, communications, sponsorship, how do you pay for it? Competition side, good strength of field. You know, good young, emerging talent, which has been a wonderful surprise. It looks like young talent emerging will be a good storyline for us going forward. Everybody talks about the guys on top — the [Bryson DeChambeaus] and Jon Rahms — and we should celebrate them and talk about them. But that next tier is pretty wonderful. Question: And the business side? O'Neil: Better than what I thought. Sponsorship's off the charts. We have a good base there with Aramco and Riyadh Air. Our first wave of deals we did with Bahri and Ma'aden, and then we had the [golf-related companies] come quicker than what I've expected — Callaway and Ping, of course. We've announced two more that are coming, Salesforce and MGM. You see the boards out there. Just an unbelievable impact in a year — year-over-year growth is going to be like 10 times. It's a pretty dramatic increase. But yeah, things are in a good place. I feel more bullish today than I did when I walked in the door in January. Question: How urgent is all of this? Any concerns about funding slowing down? O'Neil: I came in really eyes wide open as to what a three-year-old business should look like. And it is — it's a three-year-old business, and that can be a really tough space. So from a pressure standpoint, I've never in my career felt any more pressure externally than I put on myself and the team. And so are expectations high? Yes. I've worked in and around private equity for 12 years now. It's my third project in, and there's a certain expectation when you come in, and it's very consistent [with] my last two opportunities. So this isn't any different than that. But if you're asking me, do I have a sense of urgency? I have a very high motor, and I have a lot of urgency. Question: Do you receive updates on the negotiations with the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the LIV financier, and the PGA Tour? Does that impact your short- or long-term planning? O'Neil: No updates. I would say, there's no impact or influence. I mean, the PGA Tour seems to be going through a transition of their own, up top, and that will once again provide a new face and less scar tissue and more opportunity at the table. I think that's wonderful. We're wholly focused on our business. It's so different. Question: LIV golfers are still not being recognized by the Official World Golf Rankings, but talks have at least resumed. What's the latest with those discussions? O'Neil: So I've been spending regular time with Trevor Immelman, who's the new chairman [of the OWGR]. I found him very engaging, very smart, very hardworking, very balanced, fair, reasonable. And we've had several discussions, some spirited, some more plain Jane. But I will tell you, when I talk about the ecosystem and all of us wanting what's best for the game of golf, I think I would put Trevor and the board members in that category, and some of them are direct competitors to us, which does add a bit of a complexity. But I think that we're all optimistic that we'll find a way to work within the system to make sure that we have the best, most accurate ranking system we could have. Question: The OWGR has taken issues with some of the things that make LIV unique: smaller fields, 54-hole tournaments, no cutline. Are you considering any changes to the format? O'Neil: We've had so many discussions. I'd rather keep those between me and Trevor. But generally, we love the format. We think, in particular, the shotgun start, I just — I've been reading about pace of play for 15 years in the media; we could do a round in four hours and 35 minutes. So I like the shotgun start quite a bit. But are we stuck in cement on any of our changes? We're a three-year-old league. We're evolving and changing every day. I think we love the format. The players love the format. We're pretty comfortable there. Question: And the team component? That is still core to what LIV wants to be? O'Neil: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Question: LIV has never shared specifics but there's a wide belief that the first wave of contracts might be expiring soon. Player recruitment has certainly slowed, but I wonder if you have any concerns about either retaining players or enticing new ones to join? O'Neil: We don't have any concerns about our players. You know, I would say that we're in a wonderful spot with players, and we don't have any fear that this will continue to be a place that players want to come. Question: What do we make of the Fox deal midway through the season? You'll be head-to-head against the PGA Tour this week, but most of your events have been played abroad and the time difference didn't put you in prime TV spots. Five of your last seven events will be in the U.S. — will that give us a better picture of what the audience appetite is? O'Neil: As you know, Fox is an extraordinary partner. As is ITV in the UK, as is KC Global out in Southeast Asia. So we spent a lot of time with them figuring out how we can invest [to] get the best ratings. With Fox in particular, we're in the U.S. and it's a much better measuring stick as to how we're doing. It's just, there's a complete picture, and that's one important slice of the pie that we're addressing and working on. But yeah, hopefully in the U.S., you'll see it. We're happy to be measured and judged, like everybody else, you know? But … we look at the global view, like the global audience, how many people are watching us around the world? I mean, we're in 872 million homes. If you'd have told me that on my first day here, I would've thought you'd lost your mind — more than double from last year. We're in 120 countries. We're actually testing some technology that takes our broadcasters in their own voice and puts it in other languages. So we're testing that the next two weeks. It'll be really fun. Arlo White in Spanish, you know? Or Korean. Or Chinese. I guess the way we look at television is, we get somewhere between 2½ [million] to 3½ million people watching our events around the world. It's pretty good. Question: You'd mentioned the strength of field being a positive. Obviously some guys are finishing consistently up high, but in the standings, we see some big drops, particularly after the top three and again after the top 10. That doesn't concern you? O'Neil: The numbers would say — we spend quite a bit of time using AI and other tools at our disposal to take a look at our strength and feel good. As you can imagine, strokes-gained analysis and other tools we have at our disposal. We're pretty comfortable with where the strength of field is.

Don't Put AI in the Emirates
As someone who follows the intersection of artificial intelligence and global governance, I am concerned about OpenAI's decision to build a massive data center in the United Arab Emirates ('OpenAI Commits to U.A.E. Data Site,' Business & Finance, May 23). This development is not merely about infrastructure or performance. It is about power, oversight and the values shaping the future of AI. The U.A.E. doesn't have the democratic institutions that are essential for governing advanced AI responsibly. Placing this level of AI infrastructure in such an environment creates a serious risk that critical technologies will operate beyond the reach of transparency. Researchers have warned that powerful AI systems, if not properly governed, can either strengthen free societies or concentrate control in the hands of a few. A project of this scale, located in an authoritarian state, threatens to move us in the wrong direction. We shouldn't allow the global expansion of AI to be guided solely by speed and capital. The long-term health of democratic institutions must be part of the equation.
