Oil prices rise from over 1-mth low with Russia crude buyer sanctions in focus
Davis Commodities Limited (Nasdaq: DTCK), a leading Singapore-based agricultural commodities trading firm, today disclosed plans to explore the integration of blockchain-enabled agri-tokenization solutions in light of significant U.S. legislative progress on stablecoin regulation. While the Senate passed the bipartisan GENIUS Act in mid‑June 2025, broader enactment requires House approval—now expected during a July “Crypto Week” session. Davis Commodities is proactively preparing for compliant, traceable, and ESG‑aligned commodity settlement once the federal framework is finalized.
Unlocking the Next Generation of Commodity Settlement
The GENIUS Act—passed by the U.S. Senate on June 17, 2025—establishes a federal licensing, reserve, and disclosure structure for payment stablecoins, legitimizing dollar-pegged tokens and setting the stage for regulated issuers. Final legislation is pending a House vote expected in mid-July as part of Congressional “Crypto Week”.
In anticipation, Davis Commodities is designing a pilot platform for blockchain-based settlement of ESG-certified agricultural commodities—beginning with Bonsucro‑certified sugar and ISCC‑certified rice. Institutional buyers may eventually be able to settle via approved USD-pegged stablecoins, offering:
Same-day (T+0) settlement finality
Reduced FX conversion friction
Integrated ESG verification via blockchain traceability
Real-time auditability for regulators and supply chain partners
Enhancing Strategic Positioning in a $500 Billion ESG‑Driven Market
This initiative builds on Davis Commodities’ recent ESG product expansion. By combining tokenized settlement with sustainability-linked commodities, the company is exploring solutions that support sustainability-focused multinationals, carbon-credit-aligned traders, and DeFi platforms.
Ms. Li Peng Leck, Executive Chairwoman of Davis Commodities, commented:
“With Congressional progress on stablecoin regulation, now is the moment to explore blockchain solutions that enhance transparency and speed in global commodity flows. Our pilot initiative is designed to align with future regulations and deepen ESG impact across our supply chain.”
Technical Roadmap (Preliminary)
Expected Phase 1 (Q4 2025): Pilot targeting U.S. institutional buyers with ESG‑certified sugar
Planned Phase 2 (2026): Expand to Southeast Asia and Europe via Davis’s proprietary agri‑token platform
Technology Partners: Assessing collaboration with U.S.-regulated stablecoin issuers, including Paxos, Circle, and other compliant infrastructure providers
Investor Outlook
Davis Commodities estimates the integration of ESG trade flows with regulated stablecoin settlement could unlock an additional $80–$100 million in addressable deal flow within 18 months—reflecting potential improvements in working capital efficiency, risk mitigation, and margin enhancement.
