DMCC & Crypto.com Partner on Tokenised Commodities In Dubai

Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with Crypto.com to advance the use of blockchain technology in global commodities markets and develop next-generation trade infrastructure.

Under the partnership, DMCC — a leading international business district and commodities trade hub — and Crypto.com, a globally recognised cryptocurrency trading platform, will explore how decentralised ledger technology can be applied to reduce settlement friction, improve price transparency and broaden market access across key commodities sectors, including precious metals, diamonds, energy and agricultural products.

The collaboration also includes evaluating whether tokenised commodities could be listed on the Crypto.com Exchange, subject to regulatory approval and exchange listing requirements, and assessing custody arrangements, liquidity facilitation mechanisms and the integration of digital-asset payments across DMCC’s digital platforms and selected member use cases.

As part of the agreement, Crypto.com will work with the DMCC Crypto Centre on educational and technical programmes — such as workshops, hackathons and capability-building initiatives — aimed at strengthening institutional understanding of tokenisation and promoting responsible innovation within Dubai’s expanding Web3 ecosystem.

The partnership builds on DMCC’s earlier work with the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) to advance tokenised commodities infrastructure, supporting the creation of a secure, compliant and scalable framework for integrating real-world assets into the digital economy.

DMCC is home to more than 26,000 companies operating across sectors such as energy, precious metals, diamonds, agri-commodities and technology, providing a diverse environment for applying blockchain solutions to real-world trade and financial systems.
