Some company is getting ready to launch a digital currency-related product named Diem.
Some company is getting ready to launch a digital currency or related platform using the brand Diem.
The company registered at least 80 domain names including the brand, such as DiemBlockchain.com, DiemCash.com, DiemPayments.com, and Diem-Wallet.com.
The domain names were all registered this week at brand protection registrar MarkMonitor. They have redacted Whois records and Whois privacy.
It appears that the domain name Diem.com also changed hands recently. It was transferred from domain name registrar Gandi to CSC, another domain name registrar for brands.
Given the number of registrations, this is clearly a big initiative by whatever company is launching Diem.
Could it be Facebook? The company changed its cryptocurrency plans (formerly Libra) this year, targeting a launch in October. The timing suggests that this might be the new name of Facebook’s initiative.
Of course, there are many other companies working on cryptocurrency initiatives. We should find out who is behind this shortly.
Here are the domain registrations I uncovered:

IF Facebook I would be a little shocked only because Diem is an older failed name already used in the space. You would think they could create their own and btw not so sure Libra will not be used. jmo

If it’s Facebook, redaction for them, disclosure for the others.

Agree, I would be very surprised if it’s them. Lots of old baggage with this.
