🌍 The conclusion of negotiations under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement at COP29 Azerbaijan marks a monumental step forward in enabling trusted and transparent international carbon markets. This cross-border cooperation is anticipated to lower the expenses of executing nations' national climate plans (NDCs) by as much as $250 billion annually. While the groundwork for these carbon markets has been laid, the journey towards a fully functioning and high-integrity global carbon ecosystem is far from over. At GMEX Group, we believe that the integration of technology and innovation is key to overcoming fragmentation and inefficiencies. By fostering a distributed hub-and-spoke model, local, regional, and global markets can operate in harmony—ensuring price discovery, reducing silos, and benefiting local communities. Our group company, ZERO13, is committed to leveraging advanced solutions to facilitate this evolution. We look forward to working collaboratively with industry leaders to drive further progress. 👉 For more details on COP29’s breakthrough, read here: https://lnkd.in/dZTv3eKq                            #COP29 #CarbonMarkets #Sustainability #ClimateFinance #DigitalInnovation #NetZero #GreenFuture #ZERO13 #TechForClimate #ParisAgreement Hirander Misra

⭐ A landmark day for Markets Evolution yesterday, with three clients in the same room - at yesterday's Regulated Liability Network (#RLN) hackathon, sponsored by EY - and working towards a common goal: the future of innovation in #money and #payments in the UK!! ❓ The hackathon was a call to action for innovators to develop use cases on top of the 'platform for innovation’ developed during the RLN's UK Experimentation Phase, demonstrating how the programmability of money can transform the way value and assets are transferred and managed. 🤩 By leveraging the RLN platform—designed by 11 of the world's largest financial institutions, and developed by R3 and Quant—to project multiple forms of money onto the 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗢𝗻𝗲 public blockchain, Agant and Millicent Labs showcased how they can help accelerate the shift toward more open, accessible, and innovative financial systems, and how the RLN can play a pivotal role in extending the utility and preserving the singleness of money on public blockchains. An impressive presentation and some exciting demos (including one leveraging AI-generated code!) garnered Kene Ezeji-Okoye (CEO of Millicent Labs) and Donovan Hare (CTO at Agant) a special mention as "highly commended" from UK Finance. ⚡ The really special thing about this hackathon for me was the energy, buzz and collaboration in the room, as teams explored everything from #blockchain interoperability to scaling #carboncredit markets (GMEX Group and ClearBank), and from location-based payments to improving #VAT collection (tradable VAT tokens anyone?). Congratulations to the hackathon winners: Kaleido in first place followed by Commerzbank AG and SETL. 🧡 It was also a fantastic opportunity to catch up with the more hands-on practitioners in the #digitalmoney community. Lovely to see Bhavna Saraf, Lee McNabb, Jana Mackintosh, Rhiannon Butterfield, Jago Corry, Tony McLaughlin, Muneeb Shah, Ollie Carew, Martin Hargreaves, Claire Facer, Richard G Brown, Nils Pehoviak, Adi Ben-Ari, Hirander Misra, Daniel Eidan and many more - so many fantastic and very geeky conversations!! #futureoffinance #futureofmoney #digitalcurrency #digitalassets #digitalfinance
