HederaCARAT is fractional ownership of Diamond Standard Coins and Bars: physical commodities each holding a standardized, GIA-graded set of natural diamonds, authenticated by embedded wireless chips and held with custodians including Brinks. One CARAT is title to 1/5000th of a Diamond Standard Coin, redeemable for the physical commodity from 5,000 CARAT. The program is regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority and audited by Deloitte; the reference price is the DIAMINDX benchmark published on Bloomberg and LSEG. Prism verified the token, supply and a live market on the Hedera network.
Fractional title to regulator-approved diamond commodities in Brinks custody.
Prism analyst note
The first diamond listing on Prism, and the only regulator-approved diamond commodity in tokenized form: physical GIA-graded stones sealed into chip-authenticated coins and bars, with CARAT as fractional title. Diamonds famously lacked a commodity market because no two stones were fungible; the standardized commodity plus the DIAMINDX benchmark is the first credible answer. Liquidity is thin and the float is small, so treat it as exposure to an early market, not a deep one.

Frequently asked
Is CARAT backed by real diamonds?+
CARAT is title to a fraction of a physical Diamond Standard Coin or Bar, each holding GIA-graded diamonds and held in approved vaults. The program is regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority and audited by Deloitte. Prism verifies the token, supply and live market on-chain, not the vault contents.
Why is this on Hedera rather than Ethereum?+
The issuer chose the Hedera network for the token. Note that an unrelated 2018 token on Ethereum also uses the CARAT ticker; it is a different, inactive project. The Hedera token 0.0.1958126 is the one Diamond Standard issues.
