DMCC closed the 13th edition of the Dubai Precious Metals Conference (DPMC) with over 1,000 global leaders from the precious metals, finance and technology sectors gathering in Dubai. The event saw the formal launch of DMCC FinX, a new ecosystem designed to link institutional and commercial capital with trade finance professionals, fintech firms and digital asset innovators.
Held at Atlantis The Palm on 25th November, the conference examined shifting trade corridors, tokenisation, digital assets and the evolving global landscape for precious metals under the theme “The Future of Precious Metals: Tariffs, Tokenisation and Trade Flows.” Senior figures from the World Gold Council, Shanghai Gold Exchange, CME Group, UAE Ministry of Economy and LBMA contributed to discussions on trade realignment, responsible sourcing and international standards.
Keynote speakers included H.E. Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade; LBMA CEO Ruth Crowell; and global financial commentator Grant Williams. Dr. Al Zeyoudi highlighted the UAE’s strong position in the global gold trade, noting that gold worth USD 186 billion passed through the market in 2024.
DMCC Executive Chairman and CEO Ahmed Bin Sulayem said the launch of DMCC FinX marks a new phase in integrating real-world commodities with capital markets and fintech. The platform builds on DMCC’s existing infrastructure, such as DGCX, DCCC, DMCC Crypto Centre and Tradeflow, and aims to support the rise of tokenised markets while strengthening Dubai’s role as a trusted global trading hub.
With more than 1,500 companies active in DMCC’s gold and precious metals ecosystem, the conference reaffirmed Dubai’s growing influence in both physical and digital commodities.
