Its market cap stood at around $780 million, while daily trading volume spiked 500% to nearly $10 million, a clear sign that the token has caught traders\u2019 attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since its March low, WHITE has now rallied more than 280%.<\/p>\n<p>Adding fuel to the rally was a huge uptick in open interest, which rose 240% to a new all-time high of $998.55k, signaling growing excitement among derivative traders.<\/p>\n<p>Speculation gained momentum on X after unverified claims suggested WhiteRock is partnering with Ripple to tokenize the oil supply chain of a major Saudi producer, reportedly Saudi Aramco.<\/p>\n<p>While neither Ripple nor WhiteRock has confirmed the partnership, the rumour has fuelled significant market enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The post, shared by pseudonymous market watcher Amonyx on May 29, described it as \u201cthe biggest deal in blockchain tokenization history\u201d and included a document detailing the partnership, supposedly signed by a Saudi official.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Document announcing the rumoured partnership between WhiteRock and Aramco | Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/amonbuy\/status\/1928132252103332295\" target=\"_blank\">X\/amonbuy<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That post quickly gained traction, racking up over 254,000 views and pushing WHITE into trending searches on Google, a clear sign of retail FOMO kicking in.<\/p>\n<p>As of press time, none of the involved parties, Ripple, WhiteRock, or Aramco, have confirmed any such deal.<\/p>\n<p>Closer examination of the shared document casts further doubt. It references a \u201cSheikh Abdullah bin Khalid Al-Falih,\u201d a figure with no trace in official Saudi records, and features a signature that, as revealed by a simple reverse image search, bears a close resemblance to that of Iranian actress Mahtab Keramati, raising further red flags about its authenticity.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhiteRock-crypto-soars-over-110-amid-rumoured-partnership-with-Saudi.png\" alt=\"WhiteRock crypto soars over 110% amid rumoured partnership with Saudi Arabian oil giant - 2\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mahtab_Keramati\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Moreover, Saudi Aramco has made no announcements related to blockchain-based oil tokenisation. Although the firm partnered with Ripple-affiliated SBI Holdings in 2023, that collaboration focused on general digital asset investments and did not involve XRP or tokenizing oil.<\/p>\n<p>WhiteRock does have ties to Ripple\u2019s ecosystem through its March 2025 launch on the XRP Ledger, aimed at institutional tokenised asset trading. However, there have been no references to oil-linked products in its official communications.<\/p>\n<p>Until verifiable confirmation emerges, the surge in WHITE appears to be sentiment-driven, with the token\u2019s momentum heavily reliant on an unsubstantiated narrative. Without further validation, the rally may face downward pressure as the initial hype fades.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
