On March 2nd, the Dubai On-Chain Bank officially launched its DAU Digital Gold Trading System at a global event in Dubai, marking a new chapter in blockchain-based precious metal trading. This pioneering ecosystem represents the world's first digitized gold exchange built on blockchain technology, achieved through collaboration between the Dubai On-Chain Bank and Abu Dhabi's First Gulf Bank (FGB).
