Blockmaze has been awarded the Guinness World Records title for ‘The Most Financial Regulatory Licences at a Blockchain Ecosystem Launch’, a recognition that aligns with the UAE’s strategy to expand tokenization of real-world assets, including real estate, gold and private credit, through blockchain technology.
UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade, HE Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, commented that the achievement will strengthen the UAE’s position as a global hub for blockchain, tokenization and Web3 innovation.
The title was presented during a ceremony attended by HE Al Zeyoudi, Guinness World Records officials, representatives of Finvasia Group and Blockmaze, investors, industry leaders, government officials and members of the media.
The award was received by Tajinder Virk, Co-Founder and CEO, Finvasia Group and Blockmaze, Sarvjeet Virk, Co-Founder & Managing Director, Finvasia Group, and Puneet Mangla, Co-Founder and COO, Blockmaze.
Blockmaze targets institutional tokenization
Blockmaze said it provides infrastructure that integrates licensing, compliance, custody, payments and market infrastructure, enabling institutions and financial platforms to issue, manage and distribute tokenized assets across regulated jurisdictions.
Blockmaze said that it provides a regulated infrastructure for bringing traditional assets on-chain through licensing, compliance, custody, payments, trading infrastructure and liquidity. The platform supports tokenized stocks, contracts for difference (CFDs), gold, real estate and white-label infrastructure for financial institutions.

According to McKinsey, more than $2 trillion worth of assets could move on-chain by 2030. Blockmaze said tokenization of real-world assets represents a significant market opportunity, with global investable assets estimated at more than $600 trillion compared with the current cryptocurrency market of about $3 trillion.
UAE’s potential for blockchain and tokenization
The company stated that the UAE’s digital infrastructure and regulatory environment position it to become a global hub for blockchain and tokenization. It added that its integrated technology stack is designed to help issuers and institutions launch regulated tokenized products while supporting broader access to investment opportunities through fractional ownership of assets.
Tajinder Virk Co-Founder and CEO – Blockmaze
“This recognition reflects a milestone that has never before been achieved at a global scale. Through Blockmaze, we have unified more than 40 regulatory authorizations and registrations across our ecosystem, creating the trusted regulatory and financial infrastructure that seamlessly connects the regulatory foundations of Web2 finance with the innovation and efficiency of Web3. Simply tokenizing an asset does not solve the challenge. The real breakthrough comes when that token represents a legally recognized, real-world asset, carries genuine ownership, and can move seamlessly across regulated markets with confidence. That requires more than blockchain technology, it requires regulators, financial institutions, payment infrastructure and compliance frameworks working together. Blockmaze was built on that principle.”
Tajinder Virk stated that, “Every token should represent something real, with verifiable ownership, trusted governance and tangible value behind it. Only then can tokenized assets be trusted, transferred and used seamlessly across borders with the confidence required by institutions, businesses and investors. We believe this is the foundation on which the next generation of global capital markets will be built.”
Mbali Nkosi, Official Adjudicator, Guinness World Records, said that, “This record recognizes the largest number of approved financial licenses held by a blockchain ecosystem at the time of its launch. Based on the evidence reviewed, Blockmaze has secured 11 financial regulatory licenses across its ecosystem entities.”

Mbali Nkosi noted that, “Following a review of available evidence and comparison against existing benchmarks, we found that this was the highest number of qualifying regulator-issued financial licenses held by a blockchain ecosystem at launch. I can therefore confirm that a new Guinness World Records title has been achieved by Blockmaze, for the Most Financial Regulatory Licenses at a Blockchain Ecosystem Launch. Congratulations.”
Puneet Mangla, Co-Founder and COO, Blockmaze added that, “The Guinness World Records title is a testament to our shared vision and to our teams’ years of dedication, perseverance and commitment to building one of the world’s most trusted blockchain ecosystems.”
