SoftBank Seeks Up to $100B from Gulf Investors

The scale is the story: a nine-figure-million headline would be routine, but a target this size signals sovereign funds remain the only pools deep enough to underwrite SoftBank's next phase. That matters for crypto and RWA markets indirectly, because Gulf capital has become a primary bridge between traditional balance sheets and digital-asset infrastructure. The absence of structure, timeline and named backers is the key gap — whether this becomes a fund vehicle, a direct investment or a broader mandate will determine how much of it touches tokenized or blockchain-based assets.
