The Diamond Standard Coin is the first regulator-approved fungible diamond commodity: a physical coin containing a certified set of natural, investment-grade diamonds (GIA/IGI graded), equalized so every coin holds the same statistical value, with an embedded chip binding it to its token. Its spot index, DIAMINDX, publishes daily on Bloomberg and LSEG. The commodity settles on Hedera rather than an EVM chain, so Prism lists it for discovery without an on-chain route.

Prism analyst note
Diamonds have resisted commoditization for a century because no two stones are alike; Diamond Standard solved that by statistically equalizing sets of certified stones into fungible coins, each bound to a token, with a daily Bloomberg index (DIAMINDX). It is the real regulated article, and it settles on Hedera, so on Prism it is a discovery listing: you can research it here, but buying runs through the issuer's market, not your wallet.

Documents & disclosures
Frequently asked
Why is there no BUY button?+
The commodity's token lives on Hedera and primary trading runs through Diamond Standard's own regulated spot market. Prism lists it so tokenized diamonds are on your radar, not to route it.
Are the diamonds real?+
Yes: natural, investment-grade stones graded by GIA and IGI, sealed inside each coin with an embedded authentication chip.
How do coins stay fungible?+
The issuer equalizes each coin's diamond set to the same statistical value using its bidding process, which is what lets a coin trade like bullion instead of like jewelry.
