RIYADH, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Argentum AI, a global leader in compute and cloud technology with hundreds of thousands of GPUs, today announces the appointment of Majed Al Sorour, CEO of Golf Saudi, former CEO of LIV Golf and the President of the Saudi Arabian Golf Federation, to its Board of Directors.

Mr. Al Sorour brings deep executive leadership experience across sports, government engagement, global partnerships, and large-scale transformation initiatives aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. His appointment further underscores Argentum AI’s commitment to global growth, strategic governance, and the responsible deployment of artificial intelligence across emerging and established markets in 2026 and beyond.

Formerly the Chief Executive of LIV Golf, and today serving as CEO of Golf Saudi, Mr. Al Sorour has been instrumental in positioning the Kingdom as a rising force in international sport, overseeing landmark initiatives that integrate innovation, sustainability, and global collaboration. In his role as President of the Saudi Arabian Golf Federation, he has helped modernize the sport’s infrastructure while expanding access and participation at both elite and grassroots levels.

Andrew Sobko, Founder of Argentum AI, said the appointment reflects the company’s next phase of international expansion.

“Majed Al Sorour, a global statesman and American citizen and business iconoclast, brings a rare combination of global vision, operational leadership, and a deep understanding of how modern technology, culture, and institutions intersect,” said Sobko. “His experience leading transformational initiatives at the national and international level will be invaluable as Argentum AI scales its platforms and partnerships across the Middle East and beyond.”

“Through the expertise of our U.S. and indeed global boardmembers, Argentum AI is rapidly becoming the leading global compute cloud technology enterprise, with over 160k GPUs available in 2026, and scaling to 1 Million by mid 2027”.

The Middle East is concurrently rapidly emerging as a center for artificial intelligence adoption and innovation: a recent PwC survey found that 75% of employees in the Middle East have used AI tools at work in the past year — above the global average — with 32% using generative AI daily.

The Middle East AI market, valued at approximately USD 4.6 billion in 2025, is forecast to reach USD 12.7 billion by 2033, driven by novel smart city initiatives and digital transformation.

National strategies in Saudi Arabia and the UAE project AI to contribute significantly to economic growth — for example, Saudi Arabia’s AI sector is expected to account for more than 12% of GDP by 2030.

Mr. Sorour is indeed an outspoken voice and advocate for the Middle East’s proactive push to harness AI across public and private sectors, supported by sovereign initiatives, digital infrastructure investments, and increasing enterprise demand, and will continue to do so as a driving force behind the Argentum international Team.

“Artificial intelligence is no longer a supporting tool — it is becoming foundational to how organizations govern, compete, and innovate,” said Al Sorour. “Argentum AI stands at the intersection of advanced technology and real-world application, and I am honored to join the Board at a time when thoughtful leadership and responsible AI deployment matter more than ever.”

In his role on the Board, Mr. Al Sorour will advise Argentum AI on international strategy, cross-sector partnerships, and long-term governance as the company continues to expand its AI-driven solutions across finance, sport and entertainment, logistics, infrastructure, and enterprise decision-making.

The appointment reflects Argentum AI’s broader strategy to strengthen its board with global leaders who bring regional insight, institutional credibility, and a forward-looking approach to innovation.

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia

The post MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MoneyGram has launched a new mobile application in Colombia that uses USD-pegged stablecoins to modernize cross-border remittances. According to an announcement on Wednesday, the app allows customers to receive money instantly into a US dollar balance backed by Circle’s USDC stablecoin, which can be stored, spent, or cashed out through MoneyGram’s global retail network. The rollout is designed to address the volatility of local currencies, particularly the Colombian peso. Built on the Stellar blockchain and supported by wallet infrastructure provider Crossmint, the app marks MoneyGram’s most significant move yet to integrate stablecoins into consumer-facing services. Colombia was selected as the first market due to its heavy reliance on inbound remittances—families in the country receive more than 22 times the amount they send abroad, according to Statista. The announcement said future expansions will target other remittance-heavy markets. MoneyGram, which has nearly 500,000 retail locations globally, has experimented with blockchain rails since partnering with the Stellar Development Foundation in 2021. It has since built cash on and off ramps for stablecoins, developed APIs for crypto integration, and incorporated stablecoins into its internal settlement processes. “This launch is the first step toward a world where every person, everywhere, has access to dollar stablecoins,” CEO Anthony Soohoo stated. The company emphasized compliance, citing decades of regulatory experience, though stablecoin oversight remains fluid. The US Congress passed the GENIUS Act earlier this year, establishing a framework for stablecoin regulation, which MoneyGram has pointed to as providing clearer guardrails.

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

The post Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering to expand its SOL holdings. The company’s stock (FORD) fell 8.2% following the announcement, while the proceeds could more than double the $3.1 billion currently held in Solana treasuries. DeFi Development Corp. also registered a preferred stock offering with the SEC, following similar funding tactics used by Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy. Forward Industries, the newest and largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering. For the sake of comparison, this $4 billion raise is nearly the same size as Bitcoin treasury Strategy’s Stride preferred stock raise in July. And it’s double the size of the Strife preferred stock offering the company did in May. The proceeds would be used for working capital; pursuit of its Solana token strategy, and “the purchase of income-generating assets to grow its business,” the company said in a press release. Forward Industries declined to comment to Decrypt on what other income-generating assets it’s considering adding to its balance sheet.  As markets opened Wednesday morning, Forward saw its stock price take a dive. The shares, which trade under the FORD ticker on the Nasdaq, dipped to $31.29 before rebounding to $34.28 at the time of writing—marking a 8.2% fall for the session. If the company sells all the shares and spends the bulk of the proceeds on buying Solana, it could more than double the amount of SOL being held in treasuries. At the time of writing, there’s already $3.1 billion in Solana treasuries, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. Users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company DASTAN, have been growing more confident that SOL will reach $250 sooner than…
