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.

Regulatory Clarity Could Drive 40% of Americans to Adopt DeFi Protocols, Survey Shows

Over 40% of Americans express willingness to use decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols once regulatory clarity on crypto privacy emerges, according to a recent survey from crypto advocacy organization the DeFi Education Fund (DEF). The survey, released on September 18, revealed that many Americans feel frustrated with traditional financial institutions and seek greater control over their financial assets and data. Respondents believe DeFi innovations can deliver this change by providing affordability, equity, and consumer protection. The survey was conducted with Ipsos on KnowledgePanel and included supplementary in-depth interviews in the Bronx and Queens between August 18 and 21, polling 1,321 US adults. Survey Results Show Americans Ready to Adopt DeFi Protocols The findings demonstrate that many Americans are curious about DeFi despite its early stage. 42% of Americans indicated they would likely try DeFi if proposed legislation becomes law (9% extremely/very likely and 33% somewhat likely). 84% said they would use it to “make purchases online,” while 78% would use it to “pay bills.” According to the survey, 77% would use DeFi protocols to “save money,” and 12% of Americans are “extremely” and “very” interested in learning about DeFi. Moreover, nearly 4 in 10 Americans believe that DeFi can address high transaction and service fees found in traditional finance (39%). Consistent with other probability-based sample surveys, the Ipsos x DEF research shows that almost 1 in 5 Americans (18%) have owned or used crypto at some point in their lifetime. Nearly a quarter of Americans (22%) said they’re interested in learning more about nontraditional forms of finance, such as blockchain, crypto, or decentralized finance.Source: DEF The research shows that more than half (56%) of Americans want to reclaim control of their finances. Americans are interested in having control over their money at all times, and many seek ways to send or receive money without intermediaries. One Bronx, NY resident shared his experience of needing to transfer money between accounts, but the bank required him to certify the transfer and visit in person because he couldn’t move the amount he needed remotely. He expressed frustration about the situation because “it was my money… I didn’t understand why I was given a hard time.“ More than half of surveyed Americans agree there should be a way to digitally send money to people without third-party involvement, and this number rises notably for foreign-born Americans (66%). The researchers concluded that Americans are interested in DeFi and believe DeFi can reduce friction points in today’s financial system. Regulatory Developments on DeFi Adoption in the U.S Last month, DeFi Education Fund called on the US Senate Banking Committee to rethink how it plans to regulate the decentralized finance industry after reviewing its recently published discussion draft on a key crypto market-structure bill. The response, signed on behalf of DeFi Education Fund (DEF) members including a16z Crypto, Uniswap Labs, and Paradigm, argued the Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025 (RFA) bill should be crafted in a more tech-neutral manner. The group also emphasized that crypto developers should be protected from “inappropriate regulation meant for intermediaries,” and that self-custody rights for all Americans are “essential.” The banking committee is now working on the discussion draft to help ensure it builds on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025. The goal is to promote innovation in the $162 billion DeFi industry without compromising consumer protections or financial stability. On September 5, US Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said there was “nothing to be afraid of” about crypto payments operating outside the traditional banking system. This statement has raised hopes among many that DeFi would soon become the new financial infrastructure for Americans and the world
