Tokenised Silver: What Investors need to know

November 28, 2025 | News

What is the 1,971kg Silver Bar?

The bar unveiled by DMCC is officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the largest silver bar ever produced, weighing 1,971kg to honour the founding year of the United Arab Emirates (1971).

It was revealed at the Dubai Precious Metals Conference (DPMC) and crafted by Sam Precious Metals, one of the UAE’s leading refineries. Secure storage and logistics will be overseen by Brink’s.

This bar is not just a physical asset, it’s a globally significant artefact that represents the UAE’s craftsmanship, ambition, and leadership in innovation.

Why is it being tokenised?

DMCC has launched a landmark initiative to bring the bar into a regulated digital framework, transforming it into a form that can be more easily accessed, traded and owned.

Tokenisation provides:

Enhanced transparency: The bar will be registered on DMCC Tradeflow, the UAE’s trusted title registry for commodities.

Secure custody: Brink’s oversees vaulting and logistics.

Regulated digital issuance and distribution: Tokinvest will manage the digital tokenisation, issuance process and distribution (subject to regulatory approval).

Fractional access: Tokenisation makes it possible for a physical asset of this size and significance to be divided into smaller digital units.

The partners involved

DMCC: Driving the overall tokenisation initiative and Tradeflow registration.

Sam Precious Metals: Produced and certified the bar.

Tokinvest: Leading the regulated digital tokenisation, issuance and distribution process.

Brink’s: Providing secure, insured storage and logistics.

Together, these organisations form a full-value chain: production, verification, custody, registry and tokenisation.

How tokenisation will work (high level)

The process will follow a regulated, step-by-step framework:

1. Physical production & certification

Sam Precious Metals manufactures and certifies the bar.

2. Secure custody

Brink’s stores the bar under strict controls.

3. Title registration

DMCC Tradeflow registers the bar, providing provenance and legal certainty.

4. Digital tokenisation

Tokinvest creates a digital representation of the bar, divided into fractional tokens.

5. Regulated issuance

Subject to VARA approvals, tokens may be made available to eligible investors via the Tokinvest platform.

This framework ensures transparency, traceability and regulatory oversight at every stage.

Who may be able to participate?

Investor eligibility depends on:

Jurisdiction,

Regulatory status,

KYC/AML completion, and

platform approvals at the time of issuance.

Where permitted by law, eligible investors may have the opportunity to access fractional digital units of the bar once the tokenisation is complete and approved.

To be ready, potential investors can:

1. Create a Tokinvest account

2. Complete KYC

3. Deposit funds

What are the potential benefits of tokenised precious metals?

Tokenisation can provide:

Access to previously unreachable assets

Increased transparency through digital records

Lower barriers to entry (fractional ownership)

Streamlined auditability and custody tracking

A regulated, trusted framework (Tradeflow + VARA)

These features apply to tokenised formats in general and do not guarantee any outcomes or performance.

What are the risks?

Digital assets can be volatile.

The value of tokenised precious metals can go down as well as up.

Regulatory restrictions may apply depending on jurisdiction.

Liquidity is not guaranteed.

Investors may lose some or all of their invested capital.

Tokenisation is subject to approvals and may change before issuance.

Encourage investors to do their own due diligence and seek independent advice.
