Motiwala cultivates an untapped digital gold market in Southeast Asia
Ever since the outbreak of Covid-19, investors worldwide have turned to transfer part of their assets into gold investment to avoid market uncertainties and take advantage of gold’s reliable store of value. Investors have always cited gold as a safe haven when market uncertainties intensify, and the events in 2020 further confirmed the established correlation between gold and market risk levels.
Since January 2020, the gold price has zipped up 25% by the end of the year, even hitting a record high of over $2,000 per ounce at one point for the first time in history.
Along with the growth of demand for gold-related investments, supply grows too. A Dubai-based precious metal supplier known as Motiwala caught sight of the growth in demand and is determined to make use of this opportunity to become a world leader in the precious metal industry.

How Motiwala accumulated sand grain into mountain
Motiwala Jewellers LLC is a certified precious metal refinery, gold processor, bullion manufacturer, and precious metal supplier based in Dubai. Renowned for its complete and diversified rare metal business network, Motiwala Jewellers is one of the top 5 gold merchants globally and one of the largest refineries in the Middle East region.
But Rome wasn’t built in a day. It takes a lot of passion and hard work to build such a spectacular precious metal empire. Its founder, Iqbal Bhai from Pakistan, founded Motiwala 40 years ago and has been in the gold industry since then. He started as a gold and jewellery wholesaler in his home country and later found success when he filed a patent for the international gold market fair in Dubai after discovering its undeveloped gold market.
Through several decades of development, Motiwala Jewellers established subsidiary companies to further diversify the range of services it provides and as an effort to complete its supply chain. It is now the holding company of Motiwala Gold Trading, Motiwala Gold & Precious Stone Industry, Motiwala Gold & Metal Laboratory, Shaheen Exchange.
Since then, the company’s businesses have expanded to cover gold mining, processing, jewellery design, jewellery retail stores, physical gold trading, gold and metal laboratories, precious stones & diamond retail stores, and currency exchange.
With its refinery and an ISO 17025 certified in-house laboratory, Motiwala can produce gold bullion at the finest quality and allow investors to purchase gold bars ranging from 1 gram to 100 grams in size at a competitive price in its physical stores, thus allowing all investors to start investing in gold regardless of their capital size.
Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven
The gold market in Asia, Southeast Asia in particular, are underdeveloped, but experts are confident that Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven in the near future as Southeast Asia has one of the fastest rates of digital payment adoption and more than 400 million internet users. The strong tech foundations were laid by the appealing regulatory landscape and strong government support that has escalated the growth of innovation and healthy competition in this region.
In response to the year-long pandemic crisis, part of the gold and jewellery retailers in Asia are moving their retail businesses onto the internet to reach online consumers and combat the highly contagious virus simultaneously. With robust governance and regulations, digital gold has been gaining much traction in the Southeast Asia market.
Tapping into Southeast Asia’s growing digital gold landscape
Envisioned to become the world leader for dealers and traders from across the globe and to achieve sustainable quality growth, Motiwala co-founded Moti Investment Capital (MIC) in 2018 to expand its global presence in the capital trading sector. The establishment of MIC will enable investors to achieve low-risk, sustainable returns using Motiwala’s unique set of the gold supply chain.
As the first step to globalize its operation, Motiwala has tapped into Southeast Asian countries, providing a wide array of services to the new countries, including asset management, physical gold trading and more. With Motiwala’s supply chain and diverse line of services, it will allow investors to purchase physical gold even if the investors are located outside of Dubai.
In 2018, member countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) had consumed 309 tonnes of gold, making Southeast Asia the third-largest market for gold in the world. With the combination of rapid digital adoption, the cultural importance of gold in the region, and low expansion costs, it makes Southeast Asia an ideal region as the first step in Motiwala’s globalization.

MOTIWALA announces partnership with BIS
Motiwala has recently announced its partnership with BIS to expand its global presence. BIS Holding is the first of its kind asset management firm to provide unique investment opportunities for investors, allowing clients to have the privilege to participate in the markets like a real corporate level liquidity provider.
“We are excited to partner with BIS,” said Iqbal Bhai, Founder of Motiwala group. “Through this strategic partnership, Motiwala and BIS can form a clear win-win relationship to provide more value to your existing customers. It would also bolster the long-term partnership between Motiwala and BIS as both firms continue to seek opportunities to achieve business expansion.”

Flying Dresses International Solidifies Global Presence, Setting a New Standard for Experiential Luxury on the World’s Most Iconic Stages
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 6th Feb 2026 – Flying Dresses International has formally cemented its position as a global leader in experiential luxury, unveiling a new chapter of international activations that place couture, destination, and personal storytelling on some of the world’s most recognisable stages.

Over the past year, the brand has executed landmark experiences at locations rarely associated with fashion-led storytelling. These include a high-impact activation at Seattle’s Space Needle, a creative collaboration within Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles, and an international runway debut in Hawaii. Closer to home, Flying Dresses International has also taken to the runway in Tasmania and Cairns, marking its growing influence across Australia’s premium fashion and tourism markets.
What sets Flying Dresses International apart is not scale alone, but adoption. The brand has become a trusted creative partner for national pageant titleholders and international fashion ambassadors, positioning itself at the intersection of couture and cultural influence. These endorsements reflect a broader shift in luxury, where experience, symbolism, and authorship carry equal weight to design.
At the centre of this expansion is founder Maria Praljak, whose vision continues to shape the brand’s international relevance. A multi-award-winning entrepreneur, Praljak was recognised in both the Maldives and Dubai in 2025 for her contribution to global fashion tourism and women-led enterprise. With a background spanning law, politics, luxury yachting, and global travel, she has built Flying Dresses International into a platform that merges art direction, destination, and identity.
“We are not just a photoshoot; we are a foundry for modern icons,” says Maria Praljak, Founder of Flying Dresses International. “We provide the stage, the couture, and the art direction for a woman to forge her own ‘Insigne Dea’, a timeless testament to her power and her story.”
The January release of this announcement has been strategically timed to coincide with the commencement of Australia’s peak wedding season and the lead-up to major exhibitions in Melbourne. This timing positions Flying Dresses International directly in front of brides and luxury travellers during their most active planning window.
As the brand continues its international expansion across the United States, the Pacific, and Asia, Flying Dresses International is redefining how luxury fashion is experienced, documented, and remembered.

Elysium and Spotex Launch Integrated Front-to-Back Digital Asset Trading Platform for Institutional Markets
- Elysium and Spotex Deliver Integrated Front-to-Back Digital Asset Trading Solution for the Institutional Market
- Decade-Long Partnership Expands from FX to Cryptocurrency with Live Deployment at Major Crypto Broker
Chicago, IL, 6th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Elysium and Spotex today announce the integration of Spotex’s institutional trading platform with Elysium’s MatchHub post-trade infrastructure. The integrated solution delivers a seamless front-to-back workflow for digital asset trading and has been successfully deployed at an established cryptocurrency broker, enabling optimized execution, reconciliation, and settlement across multiple custodians and clearing venues.
The combined offering represents a natural evolution of the two firms’ decade-long collaboration in traditional OTC foreign exchange markets.

This end-to-end solution addresses the nuanced challenges faced by institutional crypto brokers managing multi-custodial relationships and diverse clearing arrangements across both traditional and digital assets.
“The growth of the crypto OTC market is supported in part by quality off-chain liquidity.” said Chris O’Connor, CEO of Elysium. “Spotex’s execution capabilities enable brokers to create a deep and diverse liquidity stack and Elysium’s MatchHub solves the complexity of the post-trade workflows.
“Our long history with Elysium in FX markets made this integration a natural evolution,” said John Miesner, CEO of Spotex. “Deploying our proven execution capabilities in digital assets along-side Elysium’s robust post-trade capabilities delivers the same operational excellence that institutional clients expect from their FX trading operations.”
The live deployment at the cryptocurrency broker showcases the platform’s ability to handle high-volume institutional trading while maintaining rigorous reconciliation and settlement standards across traditional banking infrastructure and digital asset custodial relationships. The bundled solution is immediately available to all institutional digital asset trading firms seeking to streamline their liquidity and enhance operational efficiency.
