Wedoany.com Report-Nov. 27, The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) has unveiled the world's largest silver bar, weighing 1,971 kilograms and measuring 1.3 metres in length, in celebration of the founding of the United Arab Emirates. The bar has officially set a new Guinness World Record.
Produced by UAE-based refiner Sam Precious Metals, the bullion will become the first Guinness-recognized metal bar to be tokenized under a regulated framework. Tokenization will be executed through DMCC's Tradeflow platform in collaboration with Tokinvest, a VARA-regulated digital asset platform, while secure storage and logistics will be managed by Brink's.
The project marks a significant step in DMCC's commodities tokenization programme and follows its recent strategic partnership with the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) to develop secure and transparent standards for tokenized physical assets.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and CEO of DMCC, stated: “This initiative reflects DMCC's broader mission to connect trade, commodities, finance and technology, demonstrating how physical assets can be digitized and accessed through trusted and transparent frameworks.
"As we accelerate our tokenization program with key partners including VARA, Sam Precious Metals, Tokinvest and Brink's, projects like this reinforce Dubai's position as the global benchmark for practical, investable and regulated real-world asset innovation."
Scott Thiel, co-founder and CEO of Tokinvest, said: "Dubai continues to show the world what regulated innovation looks like. Tokenizing a Guinness-record-breaking bar of silver, weighing 1,971 kg to mark the formation of the UAE, is not only an honour but a milestone for the entire RWA industry."
Once tokenized and registered on DMCC Tradeflow—the UAE's leading commodities registration and pledging system—the asset will enable regulated fractional ownership, subject to final approvals. The initiative enhances transparency, traceability, and accessibility in global precious metals markets.
The record-breaking silver bar was presented at the 13th Dubai Precious Metals Conference held earlier this week, highlighting Dubai's growing role as a centre for innovative and regulated commodity-backed digital assets.
