GEMtrust DAO Launches GEM DiCom: The First Digitally Native Commodity Rooted in Investment-Grade Gemstones

Anchored in Rarity, Powered by Blockchain: GEM DiCom Redefines Digital Asset Value Through Real-World Reserves

Zug, Switzerland, July 31, 2025 - GEMtrust DAO has officially unveiled GEM DiCom (Digital Commodity) – a new blockchain-based asset class that is transparently associated to audited gemstone reserves held in secure Swiss vaults.

Unlike stablecoins or tokenized securities, GEM DiCom does not maintain a fixed value, peg, or offer redemption rights. Instead, it is a market-driven digital asset whose value is shaped by market supply and demand, and whose credibility stems from transparent association with a diversified portfolio of certified gemstones.

“GEM DiCom isn’t a stablecoin and doesn’t promise price stability or redemption,” said the team behind GEMtrust. “It’s a digital commodity, purpose-built to reflect the resilience and long-term value of rare physical resources – without requiring trust in a central issuer.”

GEM DiCom is governed by GEMtrust DAO, a decentralized organization initiated by trusted German and Swiss institutions with deep expertise in gemology, asset custody, and blockchain. No single company or individual controls the project. The DAO ensures transparency through proof-of-reserve, smart contract governance, and third-party certification – not by offering direct claims to physical gemstones.

Key Features of GEM DiCom:

  • Market-based digital commodity: GEM DiCom does not guarantee a stable price or offer exchange at a fixed rate. Its market value is determined by supply and demand.
  • Reference to physical gemstone reserves: The token is transparently associated with a diversified portfolio of investment-grade gemstones stored in Swiss vaults, audited and certified – but does not grant ownership, redemption, or delivery rights.
  • DAO governance: Operated by GEMtrust DAO via smart contracts and community voting, ensuring no centralized control.
  • Transparency-first infrastructure: Every aspect – from asset audits to governance logic - is decentralised, verifiable, and regularly published.

Through the creation of the GEM DiCom, GEMtrust DAO aims to provide a digital asset that’s as stable, scarce, and enduring as the gemstones it represents – offering a new framework for long-term wealth preservation in the digital age.
