SINGAPORE, Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Davis Commodities Limited (Nasdaq: DTCK), a Singapore-based agricultural trading company, today announced ongoing strategic reviews of tokenized yield instruments designed to extend the company’s initiatives in commodity finance digitization.
The approach under study expands on Davis Commodities’ earlier assessments of Real Yield Tokenization (RYT), stablecoin settlement layers, and modular CFD structures, all aimed at connecting global agri-trade with programmable liquidity and ESG-aligned capital.
Scaling Toward a Billion-Dollar Digital Infrastructure
Preliminary internal projections indicate that tokenized yield-linked frameworks could be positioned to represent USD 800 million to 1 billion in commodity-linked flows by 2030, across core markets in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Potential integration paths may include:
- Yield-linked tokens benchmarked to physical exports of sugar, rice, and oils & fats.
- Cross-border stablecoin rails, modeled to potentially reduce settlement time by 90–
95% while supporting USD 250–300 million in annual transactions by 2027. - CFD-based commodity hedging, with initial pilot frameworks suggesting USD 60–80 million in additional notional volumes.
These early models outline how traditional commodity finance might converge with digital yield structures in a scalable, transparent manner.
Ecosystem & ESG Synergies
The tokenized infrastructure under assessment could serve as a foundation for algorithmic ESG traceability, embedding recognized certifications such as Bonsucro (sugar) and ISCC (rice) directly into tokenized yields.
Such integration may allow institutional and accredited investors to explore on-chain yield models connected with verified sustainable trade flows, aligning with global policies like the GENIUS Act in the U.S.
Executive Commentary
“Commodity-linked finance is moving beyond fragmented bilateral settlements toward digital ecosystems that are programmable and inclusive,” said Ms. Li Peng Leck, Executive Chairwoman of Davis Commodities. “We believe tokenized yield structures, if validated, could represent an important layer in scaling agricultural trade into digital capital markets.”
Next Steps
Davis Commodities is engaging with:
- Blockchain protocol developers exploring tokenized finance frameworks.
- Custody and compliance providers specializing in regulated yield-bearing assets.
- Regional trade financiers assessing tokenized commodity flows as potential balance sheet complements.
Exploratory pilot programs may be scoped over the coming quarters, subject to market conditions and regulatory alignment.
