DMCC and Blockchain platform Blockmaze look into opportunities for RWA tokenization

UAE based Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) and Blockmaze, a Layer-1 blockchain built for a world where every asset—gold, commodities, securities, real estate, even IP, and part of Finvasia Group, discussed opportunities in advancing real-world asset tokenization and digital trade infrastructure in the UAE.

The meeting, facilitated under the UAE Ministry of Foreign Trade’s NextGen FDI initiative, reflects the UAE’s ongoing efforts to attract and empower innovative global companies that strengthen the country’s position as a hub for trade, finance, and technology-driven economic growth.

During the discussion, both sides explored how institutional-grade tokenization of assets such as gold, real estate, and commodities could complement DMCC’s existing ecosystem, including Tradeflow, by embedding on-chain transparency, traceability, and near-instant settlement within regulated frameworks.

Ahmad Hamza, Chief Freezone Affairs Officer of DMCC, said, “DMCC continues to engage with forward-looking enterprises that align with Dubai’s innovation-driven growth. Finvasia and Blockmaze represent how technology and regulation can combine to deliver trust, transparency, and long-term value to the global commodities and physical assets ecosystem.”

RWA tokenisation is expected to boost the flow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the UAE that jumped 48.7 per cent to US$45.6 billion in 2024, according to the UAE Ministry of Investment.

Tajinder Virk, Co-Founder & CEO of Finvasia Group and Founder of Blockmaze, added, “ Blockmaze has been purpose-built to connect real-world assets with financial infrastructure under regulatory oversight, and the UAE offers an ideal foundation for scaling sovereign and institutional tokenization.”

Developed and owned by Finvasia Group, Blockmaze is designed for the secure tokenization, settlement, and custody of real-world assets. By anchoring digital assets to audited, redeemable, and sovereign-compliant structures, Blockmaze advances the UAE’s vision of a borderless, transparent, and trusted digital economy.
