This diamond commodity makes a $1.2 trillion hard asset available to institutional investors for the first time. Diamond Standard recently announced its plan to launch an ETF on the NYSE under the ticker DIAM, and an agreement to list futures on the CME Globex via the MGEX.
INX is providing an electronic spot market for the Diamond Standard Coin. Investors who acquire a Diamond Standard Token on the INX platform are transacting the physical commodity itself, and can take delivery of the Coin from the custodian in Delaware at anytime.
