Davis Commodities Evaluates Real Yield Tokenization to Enhance $500M Trade Pipeline by 2028

SINGAPORE, Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Davis Commodities Limited (Nasdaq: DTCK), a Singapore-based agricultural trading company, announced today that it is reviewing the potential application of Real Yield Tokenization (RYT) as part of its broader strategy to digitize commodity finance and enhance ESG-aligned capital flows.

RYT as a Potential On-Chain Yield Mechanism

The RYT model, currently under preliminary assessment, could provide qualified market participants with a mechanism to potentially engage in tokenized representations of physical agri-trade flows, including rice, sugar, and oil & fat exports. This initiative builds upon Davis Commodities' previous explorations of stablecoin-based settlement systems and modular Contract for Difference (CFD) structures.

Internal modeling suggests that a fully integrated RYT system might:

• Represent up to USD 500–700 million in tokenized trade flows across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East by 2028, subject to market and regulatory validation.
• Provide conceptual yield pathways benchmarked to physical trade performance, serving as a digital complement to conventional commodity-linked notes.
• Enable institutional and accredited investors to explore on-chain yield strategies linked to verified ESG supply chains.

Enhancing Davis Commodities’ Digital Ecosystem

If deployed, RYT could integrate with the company’s broader initiatives in:

• Stablecoin settlement, projected to support USD 200–250 million in annual transaction volume by 2027 while reducing cross-border settlement time by over 90%.
• CFD-based commodity hedging, with early-stage modeling estimating USD 40–60 million in additional volume potential.

These components may ultimately converge into a programmable finance infrastructure, aligning physical trade with tokenized liquidity, ESG compliance, and algorithmic risk management.

ESG Traceability and GENIUS Act Alignment

RYT assessments are being reviewed within the context of the GENIUS Act, recently passed in the United States, which provides regulatory clarity on fiat- and yield-backed tokens. Davis Commodities is exploring the feasibility of integrating ESG certifications—including Bonsucro (for sugar) and ISCC (for rice)—into potential future yield-bearing token models.

Executive Commentary

“Commodity finance is evolving beyond paper-based structures toward programmable, compliant, and inclusive ecosystems,” said Ms. Li Peng Leck, Executive Chairwoman of Davis Commodities. “Real Yield Tokenization reflects our vision of connecting physical agricultural supply chains with responsible digital capital participation.”

Next Steps

While no token issuance or fundraising activities have been initiated, Davis Commodities is actively consulting with:

• Blockchain infrastructure providers
• Custody and compliance solution specialists
• Regional financial institutions exploring tokenized instruments

Initial technical pilot scopes may begin within the next two to three quarters, contingent on regulatory alignment and capital market conditions.
