Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute

💥𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗚𝗼 𝘅 𝗖𝗖𝗥𝗜💥 We are excited to announce that BitGo has chosen Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute (CCRI) to provide the sustainability indicators for crypto-assets required under the upcoming Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).  As MiCA comes into application, crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) will need to disclose mandatory sustainability indicators for all the crypto-assets they support. We are proud to partner with BitGo, who provides regulated custody and core infrastructure for investors and builders, while we leverage our extensive dataset to help meet the emerging regulatory requirements. We look forward to a successful collaboration! 🤝

💥 𝐇𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐱 𝐂𝐂𝐑𝐈💥 📢 We are excited to announce a new partnership between The HBAR Foundation and Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute (CCRI) to assess the energy and carbon footprint of the Hedera Network. The results of the project will include providing sustainability indicators for the Hedera network to all users and service providers that need such data, including MiCA sustainability disclosure. As part of this work, CCRI will also be developing a methodology to support the Hedera Guardian in generating Carbon Emission Tokens (CETs) related to Hedera’s network carbon footprint. This will facilitate carbon accounting for Hedera users by allowing them to allocate network emissions to their individual activities. This will allow developers of applications to create their own CETs and for the first time to reference their scope 3 emissions following the Global Blockchain Business Council’s Interwork Alliance Carbon Emission Token Protocol. We look forward to working together with some of the pioneers in Crypto X Sustainability  at the HBAR Foundation, as well as the Hedera Team! 🚀🌱 #Sustainability #Blockchain #MiCA

Last week, I had the pleasure of discussing environmental resilience of blockchain alongside Alexis Pappas, Maher Al Kaabi, Clark Povey and Alexander F. M.. The upcoming MiCA regulation puts a focus on environmental sustainability of crypto-assets. As MiCA offers great opportunities for transparency and harmonization in the assessment and reporting of environmental sustainability of crypto-assets, we agreed that it will be very interesting to see how MiCA comes into full implementation and how the regulatory landscape for crypto-assets will evolve over time and across various jurisdictions. Thank you May Ben Khadra for the great moderation and the Cardano Foundation for the excellent organization! #cardanosummit2024
