IHC's acquisition carries significant implications, indicating government involvement in the mining sector and holding great significance for Phoenix and the cryptocurrency industry.
Phoenix group has also made a strategic decision to expand its focus beyond the UAE and encompass the entire MENA region. Phoenix is currently in the midst of a significant venture in Oman, where they are embarking on the development of a substantial 150-megawatt mining facility in Salalah. Last August, Phoenix Group announced a partnership with Oman-based Green Data City, which possessed all the necessary permits and approvals from the government, to establish a $300 million crypto-mining farm.
