Shipping & Logistics

Change is Inevitable

Traditional B2B payments and asset flows remain slow, costly, and opaque. Cross-border transactions can take days or weeks to settle, with multiple banks and processors each adding fees and delays​. In fact, many payments still run through a “Rube Goldberg machine” of intermediaries—each taking a cut and introducing latency​. These legacy processes haven’t fundamentally changed in decades and act like a hidden tax on business growth​. The result? High friction and poor visibility in global trade and supply chains. It’s time for an upgrade to a faster, more transparent way to move value that matches the always-online speed of modern business.

DACS Value Drivers

Digital Bill of Lading & Cargo Tokens

  • Replace traditional Bills of Lading with tokenised digital equivalents, ensuring instant and fraud-resistant title transfer.

  • Automate logistics handoffs, document verification, and customs clearance across jurisdictions.

Tokenised Freight Capacity Marketplaces

Convert container slots or shipping capacity into tradable tokens—enabling spot trading, resale, or real-time booking optimization.

Real-Time Port & Freight Fee Payments

Pay berthing, customs, and demurrage fees in stablecoins upon cargo delivery, avoiding delays and reducing the need for intermediaries.

Dynamic, On-Chain Freight Settlement

  • Use geolocation and sensor data (IoT) to trigger milestone payments (e.g. goods delivered in full and on time), reducing disputes.


  • Freight forwarders, 3PLs, and insurers are paid programmatically, eliminating reconciliation delays.

The message is clear: the future of B2B value exchange is on-chain, and the time to explore is now. Forward-looking organizations are already transacting millions via stablecoins and tokenized assets, reaping speed and cost advantages that compound over time. By identifying and starting with small pilots in controlled sandbox environments (for example, a stablecoin pilot for cross-border vendor payments or a tokenization trial for carbon credits), your enterprise builds crucial digital resilience and know-how in a controlled environment.

These early experiments lay the groundwork for bigger transformations, from real-time supply chain finance to fully digitized asset marketplaces – all aligned with emerging standards and ESG goals.

Adopting stablecoins and tokenization isn’t just an IT project; it’s a strategic initiative in market leadership. Just as the internet revolutionized information flow, this technology revolutionizes value flow. Embrace it to streamline your operations, delight your partners with seamless transactions, and demonstrate bold commitment to innovation and sustainability. 

Now is the time to lead: seize the first-mover advantage, future-proof your business, and set the pace in the new digital economy of tokenized, real-time value exchange. Your stakeholders, from investors to customers to regulators – will thank you for the foresight. The path to a more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable enterprise starts with taking that important next step.
