Diamond Standard

Diamond Standard is a U.S. investment platform that has created the first regulator-approved diamond commodity — a fundamentally new asset class that transforms diamonds from illiquid collectibles into a fungible, tradable hard asset. The company achieves this through its Diamond Standard Coin (valued at approximately $5,000 per coin as of early 2026) and Diamond Standard Bar ($50,000 per bar) products, each of which contains a precisely calibrated set of natural diamonds with equivalent optical and commercial characteristics. This standardization is what makes the commodity tradable — unlike individual diamonds, which require appraisal on a stone-by-stone basis, Diamond Standard products can be traded at a single, transparent spot price.

The platform is regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority and operates a Trading Desk that matches buyers and sellers at public market prices. Investors own actual physical diamonds held in secure vault storage (Brink's), with each purchase representing genuine delivery of specific stones rather than paper claims. Storage is included in the purchase price. The company's public roadmap has referenced a planned spot ETF, though as of January 2026 this ETF has not been approved by the SEC.
