Blockmaze has earned a Guinness World Records™ title for achieving the highest number of financial regulatory licences at a blockchain ecosystem launch. The milestone reinforces the UAE’s growing leadership in blockchain, tokenisation and regulated Web3 innovation.
DUBAI: Blockmaze has secured a Guinness World Records™ title for achieving the Blockmaze Guinness World Record as the blockchain ecosystem with the highest number of financial regulatory licences at launch. The recognition highlights the UAE’s ambition to position itself as a global centre for blockchain technology, tokenisation and regulated Web3 innovation.
The record was presented during a ceremony attended by H.E. Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade, alongside Guinness World Records™ officials, Blockmaze executives, representatives from Finvasia Group, investors and industry leaders.
Welcoming the achievement, Al Zeyoudi said the recognition strengthens the UAE’s reputation as a destination for advanced financial technologies and supports the country’s long-term vision of building a globally competitive digital economy.
According to Guinness World Records™, Blockmaze achieved the title after demonstrating that its ecosystem held 11 qualifying financial regulatory licences at the time of launch, the highest number recorded for a blockchain ecosystem.
What makes this achievement significant?
Blockchain platforms often focus on innovation, but industry experts increasingly believe that regulation and compliance are equally important for large-scale adoption. Blockmaze says its ecosystem integrates licensing, compliance, custody, payments and market infrastructure to help institutions issue, manage and distribute tokenised assets across regulated jurisdictions.
Tajinder Virk, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Blockmaze, described the recognition as a milestone for the industry. He said the company has brought together more than 40 regulatory authorisations and registrations across its wider ecosystem to bridge traditional finance with emerging Web3 technologies.
He added that tokenisation becomes truly valuable only when digital tokens represent legally recognised real-world assets supported by verified ownership, trusted governance and strong regulatory oversight. Such an approach, he said, creates confidence for institutions, businesses and investors participating in digital financial markets.
Why does tokenisation matter?
Tokenisation refers to converting ownership of physical or financial assets into blockchain-based digital tokens. These assets can include property, gold, private credit, shares and other investment products. Supporters argue that tokenisation can simplify transactions, improve transparency and enable fractional ownership, making investments more accessible to a wider range of investors.
The announcement also aligns with the UAE’s national strategy to accelerate tokenisation by bringing real-world assets onto blockchain infrastructure. The country has invested heavily in digital regulation, financial innovation and technology-friendly policies to attract international businesses and capital.
Puneet Mangla, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Blockmaze, said the Guinness World Records recognition reflects years of work to create a trusted blockchain ecosystem capable of supporting regulated digital finance. He added that combining innovation with institutional-grade governance will play a key role in the future growth of tokenised financial markets.
According to global consultancy McKinsey, more than US$2 trillion worth of assets could move onto blockchain platforms by 2030, while the broader opportunity across traditional investable assets is significantly larger.
Blockmaze says its platform provides issuers, brokers, exchanges and financial institutions with ready-to-launch infrastructure covering token issuance, compliance, custody, payments and liquidity. By reducing the complexity of launching regulated tokenised products, the company aims to help accelerate the adoption of blockchain-based financial services while supporting the UAE’s ambition to remain at the forefront of global digital finance.
