Introducing GEM: The Tangible Digital Commodity
Introducing GEM, a novel digital asset legally structured as a commodity. It's not a security or stablecoin, bypassing certain regulatory hurdles. Backed by real-world assets, GEM offers a tangible, transparent, and tradable option in the digital realm.
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), a global research consortium, launched GEM in 1999. It's not controlled by one entity but involves multiple partners like the RKW Kompetenzzentrum and the Johann Heinrich von Thünen-Institut in Germany. GEM is a digital commodity, or DiCom, with its value anchored in investment-grade gemstones and cash equivalents.
GEM behaves like traditional commodities, with price fluctuations influenced by supply and demand. However, it's backed by real-world assets, providing a solid foundation. Unlike stablecoins, GEM's price floats freely. It bridges the gap between physical and digital worlds, enabling value storage in gemstones without traditional barriers.
GEM, a digital commodity, offers a unique blend of tangibility and tradability. Backed by real-world assets, it's not a marketing promise or speculative hype. GEM's legal structure as a commodity avoids certain regulatory constraints, providing a transparent and verifiable claim in the digital realm.
