DMCC, the leading international business district driving global trade through Dubai, has announced a strategic partnership with Crypto.com, a globally recognised cryptocurrency trading platform, to promote tokenisation within the commodities market and develop next-generation trade infrastructure.
Under a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding MoU, DMCC and Crypto.com will explore the use of blockchain technology to reduce settlement friction, enhance price transparency, and broaden market access across commodities including precious metals, diamonds, energy, and agricultural products. The collaboration will also assess the potential listing of tokenised commodities on the Crypto.com Exchange, subject to regulatory approval and compliance with listing requirements. Additionally, the partners will examine custody models, liquidity facilitation mechanisms, and the integration of digital-asset payments across DMCC's digital platforms.
As part of the agreement, Crypto.com will collaborate with the DMCC Crypto Centre on educational and technical programs to strengthen institutional understanding of tokenisation and promote responsible innovation in Dubai's growing Web3 ecosystem. Initiatives under consideration include workshops, hackathons, and capability-building modules for businesses exploring tokenised asset models.
