The GEMERA project will combine the emerald industry and blockchain to revolutionalize the way we store value.
There is more than 9 billion dollars worth of emerald available in the world while only 5-10 of these emeralds are used for investment purposes because of the difficult nature of investing in the asset and other factors that surround it.
