Lithium for EV batteries is the fastest-growing commodity trade, demanding new settlement infrastructure. LCORE's DVP mechanism structures lithium trades through Abu Dhabi escrow: buyer deposits gold, commodity ships, delivery is verified, and gold releases simultaneously. No counterparty risk, no SWIFT dependency, settlement in 2-3 business days. ADGM English Common Law governs the escrow. Minimum $5M per transaction.
Request ConsultationWhen Lithium transactions are delayed or blocked by correspondent banking compliance -- OFAC screening, AML holds, SWIFT disruption -- LCORE's gold DVP mechanism provides a 2-3 working day alternative. Physical gold in Abu Dhabi acts as the settlement bridge.
Mechanics: buyer deposits gold into multi-signature DVP escrow at LCORE ADGM. Lithium is delivered. Payment confirmed via agreed correspondent. Gold released to seller. The Benchmark Mineral Intelligence price determines gold equivalent. ADGM English Law governs the escrow. Lloyd's $200M insurance throughout.
Multi-signature: LCORE + buyer + seller. Gold releases only when all conditions confirmed. Zero counterparty risk on either side.
Settlement without USD correspondent banking. ADGM position and gold mechanism bypass SWIFT USD dependency for Lithium transactions.
Lithium value determined by Benchmark Mineral Intelligence at agreed fixing. Gold equivalent calculated at XAU spot. Transparent, internationally recognised pricing.
Confidential. Min $5M. ADGM Reg. 28158.
