EdX is working on it. They're introducing the beginning of one. Not sure if they meet your "real" standard or not.

"Real" probably means "an official degree from an accredited institution". Is EdX going to offer diplomas in accredited programs?

No, but they are doing a new program-of-study (beyond a single course) certificate program called the XSeries Certificate (MITx is offering two of these, a 7-course one in "Foundations of Computer Science" and a 3-course one in "Supply Chain Management")

They offer "ID Verified" certificate on some courses for a small fee, certificates which should be more valuable than the regular ones. However I don't think they're accredited.
