[London, 24^th April 2024] ZERO13, the COP28 award-winning international carbon exchange, registry and aggregation hub ecosystem, part of GMEX group, is collaborating with Decarb.earth, CarbonCX and XTCC, to provide the world’s first end-to-end digitally measured, reported and verified carbon credit distribution, trading and settlement solution for renewable energy projects.

The digital climate fintech platform-as-a-service recently enabled 14,591 carbon credits, including those from GoSolr (Pty) Ltd in South Africa, to be successfully distributed, traded and settled via ZERO13 on the SECDEX Marketplace for spot carbon credits and regulated securities markets via XTCC structured products.

The high-integrity voluntary carbon credit solution maximises market value and distribution in a way which instils trust by digitally verified provenance to address the issues of greenwashing and double-counting through:

• Ecosystem connection via the ZERO13 Asset Settlement Network (ASN) and Hub,
• Project digitisation, data measurement, reporting and carbon credit generation by Decarb.earth,
• Digital verification and registry by CarbonCX,
• Execution via the XTCC exchange-listed structured investment products,
• Listings on regulated securities exchanges such as Deutsche Borse, Vienna Stock Exchange and SECDEX.

Hirander Misra, Chairman and CEO of GMEX Group and ZERO13, commented: “With a multi-blockchain network-of-networks approach encompassing the diverse capabilities of our partners Decarb.earth, CarbonCX and XTCC, the ZERO13 ecosystem enables digital carbon credits, backed by smart contracts, to be officially accredited, issued, traded and settled to support the advancement of renewable energy technologies that are crucial for a sustainable future.”

Marco Funk, CEO of Decarb.earth, added: “There cannot be a just and swift energy transition without transparency. The carbon credit market has been fraught with controversies of low-quality credits and doubtful existence. In this context, working with ZERO13, we are absolutely delighted to offer this first of its kind fully digital end-to-end carbon credit solution for renewable energy projects. With these VCCs having now been credited, audited, verified, registered and sold, a low-carbon energy future – within time – looks ever more likely.”

Dave Tims, Founder and Head of Strategy for CarbonCX Inc. said: “CarbonCX is pleased to announce the completion of this first sale of digital carbon credits from African solar energy projects registered to its next-generation carbon credit platform. The sale occurred on the ZERO13 distribution platform into the SECDEX Marketplace, which is setting the global standard for efficient trading, exchange matching and real-time settlement of traditional and digital carbon credits. Working closely with ZERO13 and its industry-leading project partner, Decarb.earth, we are also setting the standard for data recording, security and transparency related to digital carbon credits in multiple regions.”

Scott Levy, Founder of XTCC, said: “Decarb.earth represents a perfect example of the circularity benefits which came from investing with XTCC. By creating liquidity for the high-integrity carbon credits, Decarb.earth will also be encouraged to further their efforts to deliver impact in the social housing sector for example. Measurable community benefits are crucial to investor confidence and transparency; XTCC, ZERO13 and Decarb.earth are a unique example of how connecting to the capital markets liquidity can transform lives.”

ZERO13 is an infrastructure-agnostic and cloud-native platform that ensures flexibility in deployment. Functioning as a decentralised hub, the ecosystem orchestrates workflows across multiple exchanges, participants, custodians, registries and climate fintech services. It seamlessly integrates digital monitoring, reporting and verification providers delivering real-time asset checks on carbon offset supplies and project provenance analysis. It also enables end-to-end multi-market distribution across multiple blockchains and APIs to ensure successful trading and settlement, interconnecting silos and addressing the inadequacies of the stand-alone voluntary carbon market (VCM) model.

Since its launch, ZERO13 has expanded its interoperable ‘network of networks’ and grown its partnerships and customer base, bridging climate tech and climate fintech firms to over 60 participants, with continued rapid expansion and increased transaction flows through the platform and its associated network.

Thursday 12^th October 2023 Tallinn, Estonia. XTCC, the pioneer in exchange traded carbon credits, unveils the world’s first multi-currency investment products for high-quality carbon credits. XTCC is the only product which allows investors to access this growth opportunity and new asset class with a credible, transparent structure that offers exceptional liquidity across both digital and conventional capital markets.  XTCC is available as either as a three or four year fixed term investment (with a principal protection option) and an open-ended product and can be purchased in multiple currencies including USD, GBP, AED, EUR, BTC and ETH.

McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Barclays, Morgan Stanley, the World Bank and Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund all predict explosive growth in the high-quality carbon markets. The XTCC offering features a complete asset class solution for both investment and offset (retirement) purposes by sourcing high-quality carbon credits from projects including solar, wind, hydropower, biogas, biomethanation and blue carbon (mangrove and peat). The assets are secured by an ISDA and held under English law.

XTCC integrates a committed network of specialist providers, including Bondstream, a Global 100 award-winning fintech platform and ZERO13, GMEX Group’s award-winning digital climate fintech ecosystem, creating authenticity, transparency and liquidity across platforms and projects.

This initial launch will take place on conventional regulated markets Bermuda Stock Exchange and Deutsche Börse and listing on SECDEX Exchange.

XTCC features a range of products which align to the interests of environmentally conscious investors and ultimately drives circularity benefits to develop more renewable projects. XTCC offers investors flexibility with options for principle-protected or uncapped returns, both featuring a unique mechanism for offset (retirement) which also allow investors to hedge against potential costs of compliance or invest in the expected rise in both the price and demand for carbon credits.

This latest collaboration adds to the expanding network of business and interconnection layers offered via the ZERO13 platform-as-a-service, which includes its integration to its affiliate exchange company SECDEX for trading and settling XTCC in both digital and traditional form.

XTCC provides a ground-breaking solution to investing in high-quality carbon credits by providing authenticity, transparency and liquidity across platforms and projects.

Liquidity and credibility in the market for high-quality carbon credits are increasingly recognised as a critical solution for achieving net zero targets. This will be a focal point at the forthcoming COP28 summit in Dubai. Unlike emission trading systems, XTCC sources high-quality carbon credits from renewable energy, carbon sequestration and avoidance projects that encourage further use of renewable energy. With XTCC’s launch, investors can, for the first time, benefit from a dependable, standardised and transparent vehicle to invest in this new asset class.

“XTCC isn’t merely an investment; it’s a pledge to a sustainable net zero future” said Professor Lisa Wilson, Managing Director of XTCC and a preeminent authority on digital technology, innovation, fintech and blockchain. “By linking investors, retirement mechanisms and project owners, XTCC has created the perfect financial product for circularity in the net zero ecosystem. XTCC liquidity should fuel both growth of new projects and the missing market credibility in the high-quality carbon market.”

Professor Wilson added, “Our focus on sourcing high-quality credits from renewable projects that aim for emission avoidance, respect additionality and adhere to UN and industry standards democratises the market. This is how XTCC propels renewable energy innovation and growth.”

Dr Scott Levy, Managing Director at Sustainable Capital, said: “Oil was the commodity of the industrial age; carbon credits should be the commodity of the net zero world – but so far the market has not functioned properly.”

Dr Levy continued, “What sets XTCC apart is confidence through auditability delivered to the regulated capital markets.  Investors will be able to see the nature of the high-quality carbon credits with top to bottom provenance and immutability through integration with the award winning Bondstream and ZERO13 platforms.   This gives investors credibility from inception to impact and clears the way for eliminating double-counting and greenwashing that have hampered carbon markets in the past.”

Hirander Misra, CEO of ZERO13, said, “We’re excited that the ZERO13 platform will support investors of XTCC to tap into a multi-currency universe of carbon credits that are transparent in their provenance and impact. By integrating XTCC’s offerings with ZERO13’s multi-blockchain -driven trading and settlement network of networks we are also establishing a robust mechanism for climate action that maximises distribution and trust, driving us all towards a net zero future.”

Professor Kevin Haines,  Head of Social Policy at Sustainable Capital, said, “While many carbon credit schemes have proven to be more smoke and mirrors than substance, XTCC offers a genuine opportunity for change. Through liquidity that incentivises real growth of renewable projects XTCC can be a true catalyst for sustainable, social and environmental progress.”

Key Features of XTCC:

1. Investment Structure: XTCC employs standard institutional documentation, making high-quality voluntary carbon credits easily investable. Available in multiple currencies including USD, GBP, AED, EUR, BTC and ETH
2. Market Access: Through integration with Euroclear, Clearstream, CREST and Austraclear, XTCC can tap into the trillions of dollars of investors daily liquidity to create an efficient market for high-quality carbon credits.
3. 3. Additionality: XTCC only includes high-quality carbon credits which recognise the importance of additionality and co-benefits.
4. Transparency and Authenticity: The collaboration of ZERO13 and BondStream provides investors with confidence of the accountability, provenance and transparency of the carbon credits.
5. Digital Integration: Leveraging the BondStream cap table management system, XTCC connects mainstream capital markets with the digital currency realm, resulting in the first-ever digital and conventional clearable securities with cross-market liquidity.
6. Investment Impact: Funds from XTCC investments provide liquidity to the high-quality carbon credit market. This liquidity closes the gap and should incentivise the development of more renewable energy projects, aligning with global net zero objectives.

Notice to Journalists – additional quotes

“The is a perfect example of where combining RegTech, LegalTech and FinTech can add value to the real economy. Investment banks have long since forgotten this and it is up to platforms like Al Waseelah and Sustainable Capital to fill the gap of connecting the capital markets with much needed impact investments.  The push for net zero is critical and XTCC will play a major role in helping to monetise carbon credits on a global scale.  We are delighted to be working with ZERO13 on this market-defining solution.  XTCC is the commodity for the green economy.”
Dr Scott Levy, Managing Director, Sustainable Capital.

When I am asked for an elevator pitch to describe my career, it is often very difficult to do because as a transformation and ecosystems design specialist I conceptually think big picture and multi-dimensional. XTCC makes the task easier! XTCC epitomises ‘what’s possible’ when there’s a perfect synergy of incredible technology platforms like Bondstream and ZERO13, that utilise the real potential of blockchain with the untapped potential of giving liquidity to verified, high-quality voluntary carbon credits.  Structuring green and ethical investment catalyses circularity that will maximise the potential of renewable energy projects and deliver real impact on the SDGs and actively reduce our global carbon footprint. XTCC is the game-changing way to invest by way of regulated securities exchanges, both digital and traditional, into an asset class predicted to grow exponentially by 2030. As the Managing Director of XTCC Investments, I couldn’t be more thrilled to also be working with Hirander Misra and the team from ZERO13 to demonstrate just what’s possible when the best thinkers and doers align to connect project developers with capital markets.
Professor Lisa Wilson, Managing Director, XTCC.

London, 31 May 2023:

Tokenovate, a financial services company providing distributed financial market infrastructure (dFMI) enabling programmatic lifecycle event management of the pre-trade to post-trade workflow for OTC and Exchange traded derivatives, and ZERO13, a GMEX Group initiative, providing a digital climate fintech aggregation ecosystem announce the successful execution of the world’s first smart legal contract for voluntary carbon credit (VCC) derivatives trades referencing the 2022 ISDA (The International Swaps and Derivatives Association) Verified Carbon Credit Transactions Definitions.

The unique partnership approach enabled Tokenovate and ZERO13 to successfully demonstrate the creation of a BSV Blockchain based, high quality, smart legal contract^[1] for waste to energy VCC trades originating from the ‘Bio-CNG Project AJS Fuels^[2]’ in Savli, Gujarat, which uses biogas technology for capturing methane from animal waste for Bio-CNG bottling purposes to use in the transport sector. This was achieved by integrating the Tokenovate dFMI into the ZERO13 Hub, a distributed orchestration layer which digitally interconnects carbon participants, registries and exchanges across jurisdictions to trade, clear and settle VCC spot and derivatives contracts.

The VCC trades were conducted on the Securities, Commodities and Derivatives Exchange (SECDEX), a regulated financial market infrastructure (FMI) firm authorised and licenced by the Seychelles FSA, between Maverik Inc., a waste solution advisory firm representing the project developer selling and Tempus USA Inc. (Tempus Network), as the buyer. SECDEX was connected to the Universal Carbon Registry (UCR), where the VCCs are registered via the ZERO13 Hub.

VCCs are a crucial element in achieving global net zero and energy transition goals by 2030, with distributed ledger technology (DLT) playing an important part in facilitating that outcome, as evidenced by research reports:

• January 2023: Bloomberg NEF believes the Voluntary Carbon Credit market could reach $1 trillion by 2037.
• March 2023: Citi GPS “forecast $4 trillion to $5 trillion of tokenized digital securities and $1 trillion of distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based trade finance volumes by 2030”.

Richard Baker, Founder and CEO of Tokenovate commented: “The adoption of smart legal contracts will improve lifecycle event management and increase fidelity of derivative trading immensely. DLT will facilitate velocity at scale, while enhancing security and transparency. We believe the digitisation of financial market infrastructure will now accelerate, and it’s Tokenovate’s ambition to operate at the heart of this transformation. Today’s announcement and collaboration with ZERO13 is an important first step and significant milestone in bringing VCCs to market using BSV Blockchain-based smart legal contracts”.

Hirander Misra, CEO of GMEX Group and ZERO13 commented: “We are delighted to partner with Tokenovate to execute and settle the first ever trades using the ISDA VCC definitions on SECDEX, underpinned by BSV Blockchain smart contract capabilities.” He added, “Our unique approach uses a globally recognised standard, trusted by institutions and corporates across the world, to help enable liquidity growth in VCC markets digitally and flexibly map it to address buyers’ criteria.”

Scott O’Malia, CEO of ISDA commented: “The voluntary carbon market can play an important role in channelling financing to green projects, technology and infrastructure that need investment. We’re very pleased Tokenovate and its partner ZERO13 have used the 2022 ISDA Verified Carbon Credit Transactions Definitions and the Common Domain Model to create a smart legal contract for VCC trades. Digitisation of derivatives markets will significantly improve efficiency and set the foundations for growth at scale”.

Tokenovate and ZERO13 will continue to collaborate to facilitate VCC trades using DLT-based smart legal contracts, incorporating the 2022 ISDA Verified Carbon Credit Transactions Definitions alongside its globally adopted standards and digital tools.

UAE, London, Seychelles, 17^th August 2020. Distichain, a SaaS provider of digital B2B ecommerce marketplaces is pleased to announce that it has signed a partnership agreement with SECDEX Digital Custodian (SECDEX), Africa and the Middle East’s first regulated fully operational digital custodian. SECDEX is authorised and regulated by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) to operate digital custodial services for a broad range of digital assets.

The ecommerce platform and secured digital wallet tech stack also includes digital custody and escrow financial institute licenses as well as secure banking.

Delivering advanced blockchain-based payment technologies, the SECDEX, GMEX and Distichain combination are providing secure, swift, and seamless global trading with reduced risks.

The wallet integration creates a unique experience in the digital B2B trading journey, as buyers and sellers connected to Distichain’s trade engine have the capability to transact large amounts securely.

SECDEX services the digital custody needs of both private and institutional clients (including third party exchanges, marketplaces and financial institutions), by handling custody, escrow services, automated transfers, balance confirmations and account related requests.

Hirander Misra, Chairman of SECDEX Group said, “We are delighted that SECDEX Digital Custodian has partnered with Distichain to digitally improve the efficiency of B2B global trade between buyers and sellers.” He continued, “As a result of the pandemic, the need for smart ecommerce marketplace solutions, which facilitate ease and certainty of trading through enhanced digital automation, lower costs and trust, is greater than ever before.”

Haisam Jamal, Co-Founder and CEO of Distichain, commented, “Our partnership with SECDEX allows Distichain-empowered marketplaces to deliver digital custody and transaction settlement solutions in real time and from within the platform. The fact that trading, supply chain, and banking participate in each transaction under a unified and impartial set of rules, ensures Distichain’s B2B ecommerce truly secures, simplifies and empowers global trade for SMEs. Our intention is to even the playing field for companies to trade in a trusted environment and based on the unbiased merit of their offering.”

SECDEX in a short space of time has already attracted over half a billion USD of assets, which it has tokenised, with immutability and transparency on the Ethereum blockchain and held in secure digital custody. These assets come from multiple sectors and geographies.

SECDEX Group is backed by GMEX Group and Digital Partners Network (DPN).

Hamilton Fintech has launched Jefferson Coin (“JEF”) on 4th July

Government currencies are all backed by the full faith and credit of the respective government — which can be dubious at times.  Bitcoin was a breakthrough because it was not beholden to any government — same with gold.  However, bitcoin is not backed by anything, making it extremely volatile and of truly unknown value.  Gold has a long history of value, but is limited in supply, heavy, and hard to transact.  Cash does not have an expected return.  In fact, cash depreciates over time as governments continually spend more than they tax.  Hamilton Fintech seeks to remedy all these problems by linking the value of the various Coin s to the value of global assets, all within a regulated umbrella.  Global assets are relatively stable and of known value.  Best of all, they have a positive expected return and virtually unlimited liquidity.  Risk will be managed by cutting-edge artificial intelligence engines that have proven their reliability over time.  All Coin’s will use blockchain technology to help make purchases and sales efficient and effective.

Hamilton Fintech is backed by the experienced team at Evariste Quantitative Research (managing portfolio construction); GMEX Group (market leading providers of exchange and blockchain technology); SECDEX Group (an exchange and custody group leading the effort on digital securities and security tokens); Digital Partners Network (a future-focussed digital professional services firm, which includes Digital Investment Fund PCC); and Demand Derivatives (a futures exchange expecting to launch soon as a very low cost and default-free method of transacting in the underlying global assets) and US based successful Fintech entrepreneurs in mobile payments.

François d’Hautefeuille, CEO, Hamilton Fintech, stated, “On 4^th of July 2020, 244 years to the day of the signing of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, we are taking another giant leap forward toward the financial freedom of all citizens of the world.”

Will Graylin, CEO of OV Loop and Founding Advisor, Hamilton Fintech, stated, “The proper application of digital currency will have tremendous impact to society, akin to proper blood flow throughout the body.  It should be supported by central banks, backed by real value, accounted for by scalable blockchain, and transacted via secure digital wallets.” He added, “I have been in payments and fintech for nearly 2 decades with Samsung Pay, LoopPay, Roam Data, and others, and I am thrilled to see Hamilton Fintech’s first principle approach bringing the next generation of digital currency to life.”

London, Seychelles 15^th June 2020.  The Seychelles-based SECDEX Group, which comprises a licensed, regulated exchange (offering traditional and digital assets), central counterparty clearing house (CCP) and central securities depository with registry, is pleased to announce the latest addition to the group, SECDEX Digital Custodian (SDC). SDC has been regulated under the Financial Services Authority (FSA) Sandbox to offer digital custody services and is now live.

SECDEX Exchange, which is live with its first members, facilitates the tokenisation, registration, primary issuance and secondary trading of any credible securities with SDC handling safe custody with a well-defined on-boarding and legal process.

SDC caters for a broad range of digital assets, including security tokens and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin for customers choosing to put their digital assets in its safe custody, with robust layers of security to prevent fraud and misappropriation.

Hirander Misra, Chairman of SECDEX Group said, “We are delighted that SECDEX Digital Custodian is now live and has been granted the first Sandbox regulatory approved by the FSA.” He continued, “There is immense interest in the regulated SECDEX ecosystem from issuers, investors, traders and asset holders, as their need for exposure to digital assets in addition to traditional asset classes continues to grow, and we are pleased to welcome our new clients.”

Dr Steve Fanny, CEO of the Seychelles Financial Services Authority, commented, “The FSA is pleased that SECDEX Digital Custodian is now authorised in our Sandbox, which provides a regulated environment within which Seychelles-registered companies carrying out FinTech-related financial services within the securities industry can operate.” He added, “The Sandbox is instrumental in our strategy of moving the non-bank financial services of Seychelles to the next level, as it will not only attract higher value-added products and services to our financial services sector, but will also demonstrate that the jurisdiction is modern and forward-looking.”

Jessica T.Naga, Legal and Compliance Director at SECDEX Group, said, “Operating as a regulated entity in the FSA Sandbox enables SECDEX Digital Custodian to provide our digital custody solutions across borders, whilst ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory criteria. She added, “The fact that the FSA Sandbox is part of the Global Financial Innovation Network (GFIN), which consists of over 50 financial regulators and related organisations, is a major advantage for firms like us to offer innovative financial products and services in multiple jurisdictions.”

SECDEX utilises the proven GMEX Fusion hybrid centralised & blockchain distributed ledger technology suite, which is deployed and trusted by multiple international regulated financial institutions around the globe.

London, Seychelles 5^thFebruary 2020.  GMEX Group (GMEX), a leader in digital business and technology solutions for exchange and post-trade operators, and Digital Partners Network (DPN), a group of professional services firms meeting the demands for digital business enablement, are pleased to announce the launch of the Seychelles-based Securities, Commodities and Derivatives Exchange (SECDEX).

SECDEX is unique, as it is fully regulated, multi-asset, hybrid (both traditional and digital), delivers seamless trading, clearing and settlement and combines the market infrastructure strengths of GMEX, as a founding shareholder, with the professional services of DPN, as a co-founding shareholder. These include specialist legal, finance, compliance, corporate structuring services and investment opportunities through a tokenised digital fund. This means, that in addition to the listing of traditional securities and derivatives, Security Token Offerings (STOs) can now be undertaken in a regulated and trusted environment, cost effectively. The complete solution offers issuance, capital raising and full professional services support for the tokenisation process, including legal and valuations plus listing and secondary trading on SECDEX Exchange with associated post trade settlement.

The SECDEX Group consists of the Exchange, Central Counterparty (CCP) Clearing House and Central Securities Depository that have all received full regulatory licences from the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA).  In addition, the SECDEX Digital Custodian is the first application to be formally lodged under the Seychelles FSA new Sandbox regime. This not only offers secure custody for digital assets, but also has a borrowing and lending platform (Linct) for such assets. The investment platform also offers the ability for pan-African Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to raise capital through project funding and invoice factoring, plugging the SME financing gap across Sub-Saharan Africa. SMEs are able to raise equity or debt through tokenisation or traditional listing on the SECDEX Exchange.

Following the granting of the licenses, the SECDEX management team are working on the first phase of the implementation project, which will be the Exchange launch; focusing on securities, debt, spot commodities, cryptocurrencies and derivatives contracts in both traditional and digital tokenised form. The plan includes initial STOs to be primary listed by the end of Q1 and initial secondary trades to be executed by the end of Q2.

Dr Steve Fanny, CEO of the Seychelles Financial Services Authority, commented “The Financial Services Authority is pleased that SECDEX has chosen to establish itself in the Seychelles, whilst subjecting itself to the regulatory and supervision of the Financial Services Authority.” He added, “We expect to maintain a continuous and ever developing relationship, beneficial to the industry and the Seychelles as a whole, whilst ensuring the integrity and highest standard we have come to expect from SECDEX.”

Jessica T. Naga, Partner of Digital Partners Network and Director responsible for Legal and Compliance at SECDEX said “Receiving regulatory approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of the Seychelles is important as SECDEX will be able to demonstrate a robust and trusted exchange and post trade eco-system.” She added, “This is aligned with key initiatives being undertaken by the G20 and other international organisations which are working to support digital asset activities to address market integrity, investor protection, anti-money laundering, counterparty risk and financial stability monitoring.”

Hirander Misra, Chairman of GMEX Group and SECDEX Group Chairman commented, “SECDEX is the first regulated market infrastructure in the world, which can exchange-list both traditional and digital asset classes including securities, security tokens, cryptocurrencies, derivatives and commodities on a single platform, with full professional services support, combined with seamless trading, clearing and settlement of these individual asset classes and swaps between them.” He added, “The SECDEX ecosystem can uniquely facilitate the global interchange of traditional and digital asset classes in line with how markets need to evolve, as well as enable the provision of SME finance across Africa.”

SECDEX utilises the proven GMEX Fusion hybrid centralised & blockchain distributed ledger technology suite, which is deployed and trusted by multiple international regulated financial institutions around the globe. SECDEX has also received strong investment interest and is in the process of actively growing ownership by syndicating equity to strategic investors, in addition to expanding the management team.
