Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund has agreed to sell a majority stake in Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal as it seeks to attract more private sector investment to support its development activities.

Kingdom Holding Company, a Saudi investment company founded by billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, will pay SAR840 million ($224 million) for PIF’s 70 percent stake, according to a disclosure released to the Saudi Exchange on Thursday.

In an accompanying press release, Prince Alwaleed said that KHC would “unlock Al-Hilal’s full potential while preserving its history and identity”.

The Public Investment Fund, which oversees more than $900 billion in assets, is looking to increase the role of the private sector in its investment activities.

The fund has held a stake in Al Hilal since July 2023, when it also bought controlling stakes in Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli, which were previously state-owned.

PIF has maintained its stakes in the other three clubs.

Speaking to a Saudi news station this week, PIF governor Yasir Al Rumayyan said that the PIFs ultimate goal with its football clubs is to pursue “a sale or an exit”.

The PIF announced a new strategy this week, which focuses on expanding the role of the private sector and boosting returns for the sovereign wealth fund.  

In a press release, Yazeed Al-Humied, deputy governor and head of Mena investments at PIF said that the sale of Al Hilal “aligns with PIF’s strategy to maximise returns and redeploy capital within the domestic economy”.

Al Hilal, which was founded in 1957, has won 21 Saudi League championships and finished as runners up in the 2022 Fifa Club World Cup, after being beaten by Real Madrid.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
