Digital Asset & Commodity Exchange

What Digital Asset & Commodity Exchange does

Digital Asset & Commodity Exchange (DACX), incorporated in 2018 as DACX UK Limited with operational offices in Vilnius, Lithuania, operates a multi-jurisdiction digital asset and commodity exchange platform serving institutional, retail, and SME clients globally. The platform combines cryptocurrency trading with tokenization of physical commodities (including gold-BTC pairs) and real estate, emphasizing fractional ownership and inclusion of broader investor bases. DACX is excluded from the United States, China, Iran, and North Korea and targets the UK, EU, Asia, and planned North America expansion as primary markets.

The technology stack is built around three product lines: DACX Exchange (the core trading platform claiming 10 million transactions per second throughput and 40-nanosecond latency), DACX Foundry (a primary issuance IEO/STO platform for tokenized debt and capital market offerings), and DACX Remit (a universal wallet with cross-border payments and Android/iOS mobile applications). The infrastructure uses Ethereum-based smart contracts that have completed third-party audit, integrated KYC/AML onboarding, multi-currency segregated payment accounts (EUR, USD, GBP), and machine learning applied to real-time market surveillance for manipulation detection. A Hyperledger-based settlement engine is in development.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees on exchange trading, IEO/primary issuance platform fees, and security token offering services, with a product-led growth motion supported by direct enterprise sales for institutional clients. The company monetizes a compliance-first, multi-jurisdiction positioning, having been selected as one of 8 finalists for the GFIN regulatory pilot and joined the Security Token Alliance alongside 70+ member organizations. The go-to-market relies on self-serve onboarding through dacx.exchange, fintech ecosystem memberships (Innovate Finance, Level39), and earned media placements in Forbes Middle East, Nasdaq, Yahoo Finance, and Finextra.
