Diamond Standard Co. @DiamondStandard

Why are investors turning to diamonds today? We see a shift toward real assets that offer transparency, diversification, and long-term stability. Our team designed Diamond Standard commodities to unlock this natural resource for global investors. Diamonds were historically hard to invest in because every stone is unique. We solved this problem by creating a standardized commodity: each Coin and Bar contains an equivalent set of natural diamonds, sourced through transparent bidding and audited at independent gemological labs. Ownership is recorded on a public blockchain, which enables instant authentication and digital trading. This gives investors a new way to access a $1.2 trillion resource with scarcity, low correlation to equities, and a long record of holding value. For institutions and individuals, it adds a new layer of resilience to diversified portfolios. How are you thinking about real asset exposure today?

Thank you for the thoughtful questions and for being part of our community. Diamond Standard commodities are globally accessible and traded through one unified platform — spot.diamondstandard.co. All Diamond Standard commodities, whether purchased in the U.S., UAE, or elsewhere, are part of the same global marketplace. This ensures transparent, real-time price discovery reflected in the Bloomberg Diamond Standard Index (DIAMINDX). The Dubai expansion broadens access by allowing Islamic financial institutions to participate through approved Murabaha structures, extending inclusion to investors who follow Shariah principles.

Diamond Standard Commodities are now officially Fatwa Certified. Approved by Sheikh Dr. Mohamed Ali Elgari, a globally recognized scholar and Shariah board member to institutions like AAOIFI, BlackRock, HSBC, and Dubai Islamic Bank, this certification affirms that Diamond Standard’s physical commodities—Coins, Bars, and Carats—are permitted for use in Islamic Finance. This includes key structures such as: - Commodity Murabaha - Shariah-compliant lending - Ethical asset-backed investment products Diamond Standard Commodities are not speculative tokens. They are audited, fungible natural diamond assets, held in secure custody, and tracked by blockchain-based vault receipts. Now aligned with AAOIFI Standard 62, they offer a modern solution for ethical finance—fully transparent, verifiable, and deliverable. 📌 Learn more: zurl.co/QVLII How do you see Shariah-compliant commodities reshaping the future of Islamic finance?

Investor access transforms markets. In his Entrepreneur interview, Cormac Kinney explains a powerful pattern: When investors are given new access to a natural resource, prices move. The evidence: - Gold rose 700% over 20 years after ETFs made it accessible - Uranium rose 4× after the first dedicated funds raised $7B in 36 months - Diamonds, worth $1.2 trillion globally, have never been accessible to investors… until now Diamond Standard is enabling investor access through: - Fungible diamond commodities - Blockchain-backed ownership and trading - Shariah-compliant structures for the $6T Islamic finance market As hard asset demand rises in the GCC and beyond, diamonds are positioned for the next wave of financialization.

Why are global investors turning to hard assets? As Cormac Kinney shares in his Entrepreneur Al Arabiya interview, volatility in equity and bond markets is driving a shift toward asset classes that offer greater stability and real-world backing. Diamond Standard’s solution: - A standardized, tradable diamond commodity - With blockchain-based ownership - That’s now being adopted for Islamic finance and Sukuk settlement Initially designed for ETFs, the Diamond Standard Bar is now at the center of a larger movement: A $3 billion capital raise is underway to supply diamond commodities for daily Shariah-compliant lending—a market representing over $5 to $6 trillion annually. 💡 Why diamonds? - They're compact and highly valuable - Fully deliverable and wirelessly auditable - Far more cost-efficient to store than metals like copper or nickel With turnover reaching $12 billion per day, Islamic finance needs better hard assets. Diamond Standard is building the supply infrastructure to deliver. Watch the full interview and explore the coverage: 📖 zurl.co/SYIp6 🔗 zurl.co/yVaKK

A digital commodity. Shariah-compliant. And now part of a $6T opportunity. Diamond Standard’s programmable commodities are gaining attention from both Islamic banks and BRICS financial planners. Carats are: - Denser than gold (~$700K/kg vs $72K) - Instantly auditable via chip + phone - Blockchain-tradable and fully deliverable - Now Fatwa-approved for Islamic finance use Islamic financial institutions require custody, audit, and physical settlement. Carats meet all three, offering a modern upgrade to copper, aluminum, and palm oil. Is this the most advanced commodity ever issued? 🔗 Explore the pilot → zurl.co/7iKrK

The Diamond Standard Bar isn’t just a commodity. It’s a smart asset. In his interview with Entrepreneur Al Arabiya, Cormac Kinney explains how Diamond Standard created the first-ever diamond commodity: - Spot-traded on a global exchange - Approved for U.S. futures, ETFs, and Islamic finance - Secured and tokenized via a wireless chip embedded in every Bar 🔍 Here’s how it works: Each Bar contains a standardized set of natural diamonds, verified and assembled under a patented process. But what makes it revolutionary is the technology: - A wireless chip stores all diamond certificates - The chip can be audited remotely - It issues a blockchain vault receipt - Whoever holds the token owns the Bar That means you can prove authenticity, transfer ownership, or trade the commodity without moving the Bar itself. Diamonds are no longer just held — they’re owned, verified, and transacted at a global scale. Watch the full video and explore the full article: 📖 zurl.co/ODA7y 🔗 zurl.co/i2Mtb

Appreciate the mention, @justinzgoh. We're proud to build on @hedera — enabling secure, auditable, and scalable digital commodities. $CARAT and Diamond Standard are committed to expanding real-world asset access through transparent, blockchain-native infrastructure. #Hedera #RWA #DigitalAssets #Commodities

Thanks for sharing your view. We understand that decentralization and transparency matter to many in the ecosystem. We chose Hedera for its enterprise-grade infrastructure, auditability, and energy efficiency, but we’re always monitoring advancements across protocols, including Kaspa.

Meet Carats: A Digital Commodity Carats are not just digital tokens. Each Carat is a blockchain-based vault receipt, redeemable for physical Diamond Standard Coins or Bars. 5,000 Carats = 1 Diamond Standard Coin. Backed by natural diamonds, audited, and securely stored—Carats are recorded on the blockchain for complete transparency. Carats offer a way to store and send value globally, outside traditional banking infrastructure, with the stability of a real-world commodity. Move value with trust. Store wealth with confidence.

Thanks for the suggestion, but we are sticking to @hedera because they are a better fit for RWA tokenization. - Proven RWA ecosystem and track record: Hedera already has a significant track record in the RWA space, including with a similar high-value asset. We've built our platform on Hedera specifically because of its speed, low cost, and transparency. - Compliance and institutional-grade features: Hedera's built-in token service (HTS) simplifies the tokenization process and includes native compliance controls. For a regulated, high-value asset like a diamond, HTS offers features like KYC keys, transfer restrictions, and supply management to ensure all transactions adhere to legal and regulatory requirements. - Enterprise governance and backing: Hedera's governance is overseen by a council of large, well-known corporations (like @Google, @IBM, and @LGE_Global), which provides a high degree of stability, credibility, and security. This institutional backing is crucial for a project that builds trust with investors in the financial market. - Predictable, low transaction fees: The costs of minting and transferring tokens on Hedera are fixed and low (around $0.001 per transaction). This predictability is essential for a business model that needs to manage its operational costs reliably. - Strong ESG credentials: Hedera is a "carbon-negative" network. For a luxury item like a diamond, which is often associated with ethical and environmental sourcing concerns, utilizing a sustainable network is a significant advantage. diamondstandard.co/blog/the-benef…

@MacuhaMary @hbarTaTa @hedera @RWA_xyz @ArchaxEx We are already on the screenshot, but thanks for tagging us!

@DiamondStandard @khaleejtimes I see @DiamondStandard Coins and Bars as: (1) a wealth preserver, (2) a physical asset off chain that can convert to a digital asset\currency Onchain, (3) a new financial asset that will change the financial industry, and (4) an alternative to gold and Bitcoin.

Thanks for the mention — we couldn't agree more. Diamond Standard was built to help modernize the diamond market by introducing: 🔍 Transparent price discovery 📈 Daily Bloomberg pricing 💎 Fungible, market-traded diamond commodities 🔗 Blockchain-backed digital ownership A more liquid and fair market benefits everyone — from vendors to investors. diamondstandard.co #Commodities #DiamondMarket #DigitalAssets #RWA
