In a powerful revelation that underscores the deepening global confidence in XRP, Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Abdulaziz Al Saud has publicly confirmed that his family has been a long-term holder of the digital asset. The news, highlighted by Vandell of Black Swan Capitalist on X, comes on the heels of a monumental $121 million investment led by the prince to transform VivoPower International PLC, a Nasdaq-listed company, into the world’s first XRP-focused digital asset firm. For years, Vandell and analyst Versan have referenced the Saudi royal family’s quiet interest in XRP, but this announcement marks the first time that connection has been confirmed so openly. The recent investment signals a pivotal moment not just for VivoPower but for XRP’s institutional trajectory on the global stage. Remember the Saudi royal family, Prince & XRP? Something Versan & I mentioned a few times for years. Well, Prince Abdulaziz led a $121M investment to transform VivoPower, a public company, into the first XRP-focused digital asset firm. They've officially announced their… — Vandell | Black Swan Capitalist (@vandell33) May 29, 2025 Transforming VivoPower Into an XRP Powerhouse The investment led by Prince Abdulaziz will establish a dedicated XRP-based digital asset treasury within VivoPower. This bold strategy positions the company as a trailblazer among publicly traded firms, mirroring the high-profile Bitcoin treasury model pioneered by Strategy, but with a focused bet on XRP and the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem. In a formal statement, Prince Abdulaziz emphasized his family’s decade-long involvement in the digital asset space and, more specifically, their steadfast commitment to XRP. He explained that after assessing several public companies seeking to adopt a digital asset treasury model, VivoPower was chosen due to its targeted approach toward XRP and its clear mission to advance the XRPL ecosystem. A Decade of Royal Confidence in XRP Prince Abdulaziz’s remarks provide rare insight into the Saudi royal family’s investment philosophy regarding cryptocurrencies. While many global investors have focused on Bitcoin or Ethereum, the prince’s team has maintained a long-term XRP position, viewing the asset as uniquely positioned for real-world financial applications, particularly cross-border payments. This decade of quiet accumulation and strategic patience now aligns with VivoPower’s transformation, reinforcing the prince’s belief that the time is ripe to expand XRP’s global presence and leverage its network capabilities at scale.

Earlier this year, companies like Wellgistics Health announced plans to adopt XRP as part of their reserve asset strategies, while firms such as Worksport have explored similar moves. With Prince Abdulaziz’s formal involvement, the signal to global markets is clear: XRP is increasingly seen not just as a speculative token but as an institutional-grade asset with tangible utility. This high-profile endorsement from a Saudi royal amplifies XRP’s credibility in global finance circles, particularly in the Middle East, where sovereign wealth and state-backed capital could further accelerate adoption. XRP’s Future Shines Bright As XRP’s institutional story unfolds, Prince Abdulaziz’s bold statement reinforces the digital asset’s staying power and potential. The prince’s vision to use VivoPower as a vehicle to expand the XRPL ecosystem underscores the maturing landscape of blockchain finance and the pivotal role XRP aims to play in it. With royal backing, strategic alignment, and growing institutional conviction, XRP is poised to continue its evolution from a cross-border payments solution to a core building block in the next generation of financial infrastructure. As Vandell from Black Swan Capitalist rightly noted, the Saudi royal connection is no longer just speculation; it’s now front and center, marking a defining moment in XRP’s global journey.
