DMCC has introduced what Guinness World Records has certified as the world’s largest silver bar, a 1,971-kilogram piece unveiled on 24 November at the Dubai Precious Metals Conference. The bar was produced to mark the founding year of the United Arab Emirates.

The asset is set to become the first Guinness-record precious metal bar to be tokenised under a regulated framework. DMCC’s Tradeflow platform will host the tokenisation process, in coordination with Sam Precious Metals, which manufactured the bar; Tokinvest, a VARA-regulated platform managing tokenisation and issuance; and Brink’s, which will provide secure logistics and storage.

The initiative is part of DMCC’s broader effort to expand the use of tokenised commodities and strengthen transparency and traceability in global precious-metals markets. Tokinvest will register the bar on Tradeflow, enabling fractional ownership subject to regulatory approval.

DMCC Executive Chairman and CEO Ahmed Bin Sulayem said the unveiling demonstrates how physical assets can be digitised and traded within regulated systems, adding that the collaboration with VARA and industry partners supports Dubai’s role in developing real-world-asset innovation.

Tokeinvest CEO Scott Thiel said the project illustrates how regulated tokenisation can broaden access to precious metals, while Sam Precious Metals Chairman Sami Abu Ahmad described the bar as an example of the UAE’s industrial capabilities and a step toward new models of investment.

The tokenisation follows DMCC’s partnership with the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority to develop standards for digital commodities. With a large precious-metals ecosystem and a growing base of Web3 and blockchain companies, DMCC is positioning the project as an anchor in its wider programme for regulated asset-backed digital instruments.
