For many years the diamond trade has been dominated by consumer retail which is estimated to account for over 95% of the market share globally. However, the focus of the market on business to business trade, alongside issues of transparency, lack of standardization and limited liquidity in the exchange markets, have restricted the public from making diamonds a legitimate investment.
One company looking to revolutionize the industry is CEDEX. Using ground-breaking blockchain based technology, CEDEX is designed to integrate the current diamond and crypto-financial market and open an entirely new and exciting asset class.
The team behind CEDEX boast a dazzling selection of specialists across many disciplines, including technology, finance, and diamond trading.
