DMCC has unveiled the world’s largest silver bar – a record-breaking 1,971kg asset officially recognised by Guinness World Records. Revealed at the Dubai Precious Metals Conference (DPMC), the bar commemorates the founding year of the United Arab Emirates, symbolising national ambition, craftsmanship and innovation.
As part of a landmark project involving DMCC and leading industry players, the bar is now set to be tokenised through DMCC’s Tradeflow platform, marking the first time a Guinness World Record precious metal bar will undergo tokenisation under a regulated framework.
The project brings together UAE-based precious metals refiner Sam Precious Metals, responsible for the bar’s production; Tokinvest, a VARA-regulated platform leading the digital tokenisation and issuance process; and Brink’s, which will oversee secure storage and logistics.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC, said: “The 13th edition of the Dubai Precious Metals Conference has been marked by new records, highlighted by the unveiling of the world’s largest silver bar – a 1,971 kg, 1.3-metre-long bar that has set a Guinness World Record and honours the UAE’s ambition and craftsmanship. This initiative reflects DMCC’s broader mission to connect trade, commodities, finance and technology, demonstrating how physical assets can be digitised and accessed through trusted and transparent frameworks.”
