Davis Commodities Reviews $2.5 Billion Digital Commodity Treasury Model to Power Next-Generation ESG Trade Finance

SINGAPORE, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Davis Commodities Limited (Nasdaq: DTCK) announced today that it is reviewing a proposed multi-layered “commodity treasury” framework connected to its Real Yield Token (RYT) initiative. This model is designed to explore how tokenized agricultural reserves, commodity futures, and programmable settlement rails could collectively scale into a multi-billion-dollar liquidity backbone for global agri-finance.

Modeling a $2.5 Billion Digital Commodity Reserve

Preliminary internal scenarios, subject to regulatory and market validation, suggest the following potential outcomes:

• USD 2.5 billion in tokenized commodity reserves within a 36-month horizon.
• Commodity-backed reserves designed to stabilize settlement flows across 40+ trading corridors in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
• USD 500–700 million in simulated annual transaction throughput under ESG-certified commodities, including ISCC-certified rice, Bonsucro-verified sugar, and sustainable oils.
• Liquidity recycling mechanisms targeting up to 30% faster circulation velocity compared to conventional bank-settled trade finance.

What Is a “Commodity Treasury”?

A “commodity treasury” is a structured pool of tokenized reserves—such as warehoused sugar, rice, or sustainable oil inventories—linked to yield-bearing digital assets. This programmable liquidity buffer acts as a backstop for cross-border settlement, hedging, and ESG-linked financing, enhancing transparency and capital efficiency for both institutional and retail ecosystems.

Ecosystem & ESG Synergies

The proposed treasury model could embed recognized sustainability certifications (e.g., ISCC, Bonsucro) directly into tokenized reserves. By doing so, the system may enable impact funds, sustainability-linked institutional investors, and regional trade financiers to access verified, traceable, commodity-backed yield instruments at scale.

Tokenized treasuries are attracting global attention, as traditional financial institutions and fintech leaders increasingly evaluate on-chain reserve frameworks to improve transparency and efficiency. Davis Commodities’ exploration aligns with these market developments, focusing on emerging-market trade corridors that are often underserved by conventional capital systems.

Executive Commentary

“We are studying how real commodities, digital yield architecture, and programmable settlement can converge into a capital-efficient treasury system,” said Ms. Li Peng Leck, Executive Chairwoman of Davis Commodities. “Our intent is to model a scalable backbone that could support both institutional hedging and retail-driven ecosystems in emerging markets—linking verified supply chains with next-generation capital flows.”

Next Steps

The treasury framework is currently under review in collaboration with ESG auditors, blockchain infrastructure providers, and cross-border liquidity specialists. No implementation commitments have been made at this stage. Any pilot or launch will remain subject to regulatory consultation, market readiness, and stakeholder feedback.
