Davis Commodities Limited (NASDAQ:DTCK), a Singapore-headquartered agricultural trading company, today announced a strategic assessment of U.S.-based stablecoin licensing and ESG-linked tokenized commodity flows, in response to rapidly evolving digital asset regulations and increasing institutional demand for compliant blockchain infrastructure.

This evaluation follows the recent passage of the GENIUS Act, signed into U.S. law on July 17, 2025, which establishes a federal regulatory framework for fiat-backed stablecoin issuers and digital settlement providers. The move is widely regarded by industry analysts as a major regulatory milestone enabling institutional-grade blockchain adoption in cross-border finance.

Toward a $1B+ ESG Tokenized Trade Ecosystem

Davis Commodities has initiated preparatory steps to establish a wholly owned U.S. entity—Davis Digital Assets Inc.—to explore potential issuance of regulated digital instruments. The company estimates, based on early modeling, that tokenized trade structures across its ESG-certified product lines could unlock $1–3 billion in addressable settlement volume over the next 36 months.

This assessment reflects trends similar to those seen in public market peers such as Circle, whose digital dollar infrastructure has shown increasing institutional adoption since its U.S. listing.

Introducing "DCC": A Stablecoin Concept for ESG-Linked Agri-Trade

The company is evaluating the viability of a proprietary digital settlement layer—Davis Commodities Coin (DCC)—designed to support traceable trade of certified products such as Bonsucro-certified sugar and ISCC-certified rice.

If launched, DCC could be programmed to enable:

• T+0 to T+1 settlement cycles, reducing reconciliation friction by an estimated 80%
• Enhanced working capital turnover, with 2–3x faster capital rotation
• Settlement of up to $500 million in annual notional trade volume across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East

All figures reflect internal modeling and remain subject to further feasibility studies and regulatory alignment.
