Diamonds are a commodity that never go out of fashion however the diamond market has been stuck in the same routine for decades now. CEDEX are intending to bridge the gap between the diamond ecosystem of today and the developing financial markets of the future. Using revolutionary technology and a new way of investing, CEDEX is hoping to make sure that the future of diamonds is bright for trader and business alike. The nature of the diamond market is ever shifting. Although consumers account for 95% of the total diamond sales while investment counts for less than 5%, the demand for diamonds has seen an increase over recent years. While this is great for the diamond business there is an ever growing concern about the imminent shortfall of diamonds that is set to hit the industry in less than 10 years. This shortfall makes diamonds an excellent investing opportunity as their prices are set to rocket over the coming years and this is where CEDEX comes into play. CEDEX are aiming to make investing a more dynamic and understandable part of the diamond market. Currently, diamonds are very difficult to create a uniform pricing for as there are so many different factors that affect their value. The lack of pricing structure in the current diamond market and the lack of liquidity within the market make it a very difficult area to know where to invest your money. Once a diamond has been bought it is almost impossible to sell on at market price however with the number of new diamonds coming into the market set to reach their limit, investing looks like a smart future. CEDEX’s blockchain-based asset-class trading platform for diamonds will revolutionize the way diamonds are bought and sold on the market and will transform them into an easily investable asset. By turning each diamond from a unique asset into something that is fungible, this makes diamonds not only easier to value but trade at market price even when they have been bought and sold numerous times before. The CDEX is the technology that will make this possible by establishing transparency and bringing a standardization into the diamond market while being easily accessible for longterm investors and newcomers alike. The DEX is able to take a wide range of factors that affect the value of a diamond and establish a set way of valuing them meaning discrepancies in the market are much less likely to occur. CEDEX are looking into a new a revolutionary way to buy and sell on the diamond market as well as making it much fairer for all involved. Using The DEX, blockchain technology and the CEDEX Coin the way in which the diamond market is set to change. Investing in diamonds is a smart move for the future however this will become much easier and faster with the introduction of CEDEX.

Blockchains Are Forever? Diamond Giant De Beers Unveils DLT Strategy One of the world's most well-known diamond companies is getting into blockchain by investing in an asset tracking platform. De Beers, its chief executive announced today, is planning to use the tech in a bid to boost transparency across the diamond supply chain. The firm, the world's largest miner of diamonds, says it wants to use the tracking platform in order to rebuild trust in the diamond distribution process � as well as alleviate concerns over money laundering and the broader trafficking of conflict diamonds. CEO Bruce Cleaver unveiled the initiative in a blog post published earlier today, writing: "This diamond traceability platform is underpinned by blockchain technology, which allows for a highly secure digital register that creates a tamper-proof and permanent record of interactions � in this instance, a diamond�s path through the value chain." https://www.coindesk.com/blockchains-forever-diamond-giant-de-beers-unveils-dlt-strategy/

JPMorgan Changes Stance: ************Bitcoin Could Become the New Gold Bitcoin could join gold as a reliable, long-term way to store wealth as the cryptocurrency gains users and value in a craze which JP Morgan�s analysts believe may turn into something resembling a more traditional asset class. The digital currency now trades at more than $11,000 and both Cboe Global Markets and the CME Group plan to start offering bitcoin futures this month. This move to join more formal financial markets �has the potential to elevate cryptocurrencies to an emerging asset class,� according to JP Morgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou. The stance is particularly surprising because JP Morgan�s chief executive and chairman Jamie Dimon has long been a high profile critic of bitcoin. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/12/04/bitcoin-could-new-gold-says-jp-morgan/

Diamond Trading: Next Industry Optimized by Blockchain Technology Blockchain enhances diamond trading The latest industry being revolutionized by Blockchain is diamond trading. Nearing the completion of the first phase of a proof-of-concept of a Blockchain-based authentication and safe record-keeping diamond trading service, Singapore Diamond Investment Exchange (SDiX) aims to secure their operations with the aid of Blockchain https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/api.cointelegraph.com/amp/v1/news/diamond-trading-next-industry-optimized-by-blockchain-technology

Goldman Sachs wants to put foreign exchange trades on the blockchain Trading currencies is costly and slow for traders at major financial institutions—transactions need to go through a bunch of middle men, each of which take a slight fee. A new patent application from Goldman Sachs hints at how the blockchain technology that is behind bitcoin could revolutionize that process. https://qz.com/779660/goldman-sachs-wants-to-put-foreign-exchange-trades-on-the-blockchain/

Blockchain, the technology that promises to revolutionise the world of currency, has a new target in its sight: the jewellery business. The industry, one of the oldest in existence, is looking to the blockchain to resolve issues ranging from insurance to helping customers ascertain the origin and authenticity of gemstones. In the jewellery business, trust is so important,” said Jade Lee, deputy general manager at Chow Tai Fook at the Hong Kong Fintech Week. “We are exploring the technology to see how we can put important information into the ledger.” Blockchain’s ability to counter fraud has sparked interest from other fields, including banks and open marketplaces, thanks to its decentralised database which must approve a transaction before it can be recorded. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/m.scmp.com/business/money/article/2116620/blockchain-transforming-one-worlds-oldest-professions%3famp=1

TechFinancials is entering the field with an investment into a new instrument that is eliminating the worries associated with online fraud. By using smart contracts, the execution of a diamond deal can only be completed upon receipt of the product, an approach that can be realised thanks to blockchain technology. https://www.financemagnates.com/forex/technology/techfinancials-funds-blockchain-based-diamond-exchange-cedex/

�Savings of $6 billion could be achieved once external partners such as credit scoring companies, land registry offices, and tax authorities become accessible over a blockchain to facilitate faster processing and reducing costs.� Deutsche Bank's Mancone is more optimistic, however. �I think any product that a smart contract can manage, can be developed without waiting for readiness on a distributed ledger technology (DLT), and it could be viable by the end of 2017,� Capgemini Consulting reported. https://bravenewcoin.com/news/banks-could-save-billions-in-mortgage-loan-costs-by-adopting-blockchain-based-smart-contracts-says-capgemini https://www.capgemini.com/consulting/wp-content/uploads/sites/30/2017/07/smart-contracts.pdf _________ _____________ ____________________________________________________ Read pg 6 pf the Cedex Lightpaper report for their SC details A private diamond holder or dealer wishing to liquidate his or her holdings will use the simple CEDEX tokenization onboarding process to create a smart contract.

The market for blockchain-backed �smart contracts� should grow quickly, according to a partner at a global law firm, who is already working with the emerging technology. Lee Bacon, a partner at Clyde & Co, made the prediction as his firm launched a consultancy aimed at advising insurers and clients in other sectors on the contracts, blockchain security and other similar distributed ledger technologies. Mr Bacon told Legal Futures: �The potential benefits of smart contracts are numerous and include the fact that contracts become dynamic and able to respond and adjust as situations change� �This is a new and emerging technology, so I wouldn�t expect it to change the world immediately. https://www.legalfutures.co.uk/latest-news/smart-contracts-market-course-grow-rapidly

Thanks to Ethereum technology, developers can program smart contracts which function as multiple-signature accounts and manage agreements between users. Ethereum smart contracts contain pre-written logic that makes contracts get automatically enforced when it�s clear who won. Smart contracts are able to define all the rules and penalties of a particular agreement and enforce the associated obligations automatically. The best thing about smart contracts is that there is no party that makes the decision. There�s no intermediary or third party that can potentially influence the process of decision-making. A smart contract just automatically fulfills itself leaving no room for fraud, corruption, or censorship. https://adoriasoft.com/blog/ethereum-smart-contract/

Pink Diamond Fetches $32 Million at Christie�s Hong Kong Auction Pink diamonds are considered among the rarest and most valuable gemstones in the world. Sotheby�s set the record for any gem ever sold at an auction earlier this year, with its $71 million sale of the 59.6-carat Pink Star to Hong Kong-based jewelry retailer Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Ltd. The Christie�s auction came just after a vintage Patek Philippe sold for about $2.9 million at Phillips in Hong Kong. That�s the highest price a wristwatch ever fetched in an auction in Asia. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-28/pink-diamond-fetches-32-million-at-christie-s-hong-kong-auction

Although I read in their Lightpaper that they want to issue 100,000 ETH which is 50m Cedex Coins = $47m/ �36m They may pull it off, just have some doubts about the 1% Investment value converting to a $350b market correlated to the Gold market, is not a good correlation. However the market is large & so long as Cedex is the worlds first BChain Diamond Exchange, then it may do well depending on who backs /this So The coins will cost �355 for 500 ( 1 ETH = 500 coins / 1 Eth = $472 / �363) Like the idea of the Smart Contracts & that Tech have $5.8m cash / �4.8m
