Established as the region's first derivatives exchange, the DGCX has spent the past 20 years developing its product range to include currencies, commodities and Shariah-compliant contracts.

Today, through a convergence of market performance, bullish demand, an appetite for enhanced product delivery, regulatory endorsement at a Federal level, and a sturdy financial technology partner, the DGCX is primed to enter a new era of trade, worthy of the global market-making community.

With gold prices breaking through the $4,000 per ounce threshold, the precious metal has confidently reasserted itself as a store of value at a time of geopolitical volatility. At the same time, the foundation of physical trade in the UAE has been irreversibly solidified by the UAE Central Bank’s expectation that all gold bullion traded by UAE regulated banks that is held in custody in the UAE, must be stored in DMCC-approved vaults. Combined with the DMCC ’s strategic partnerships, which are deploying advanced, Al-driven technologies to enhance efficiency and scalability, the DGCX is now positioned to reach an unparalleled level of physical integrity and digital prowess, resulting in an exchange capable of deeper liquidity, efficiency, and broader market access.
