SINGAPORE and DUBAI, UAE, July 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ACX (formerly known as AirCarbon Exchange), operating its proprietary regulated environmental asset trading platform that is revolutionising the environmental markets, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Blue Carbon, the Dubai-based project developer, to develop carbon markets in the Middle East and North Africa region. 

The collaboration will see Blue Carbon using ACX as its preferred platform to sell its carbon credits and settle transactions. The two companies will also seek to host auctions to sell Blue Carbon’s credits in the run up to the COP28 climate conference in Dubai. In addition, they will assist one another in developing suitable market infrastructure to enable the UAE and partner countries to implement Article 6.2 transactions under the United Nations’ Paris Agreement.

William Pazos, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of ACX, said, “We are delighted to partner with Blue Carbon as their preferred platform for selling carbon credits and facilitating seamless transactions. Cooperation is central to our fight against climate change. Our agreement today is a great example of how companies can join forces to leverage each other’s strengths to create opportunities and results.”

This MOU is another step in ACX’s journey to become the leading global carbon exchange. With the successful establishment of the world’s first regulated carbon exchange in Abu Dhabi, ACX is making significant strides in positioning itself as a major player in the carbon trading landscape, in the MENA region and on a global scale.

Blue Carbon is developing projects that will be eligible for carbon credits or Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMO), which count towards a country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This sector is likely to grow in popularity as countries rich in carbon resources seek to sell their credits to heavy emitting countries.

Josiane Sadaka, CEO of Blue Carbon commented on the crucial use of ITMOs in combatting climate change, said, “ITMOs are a powerful tool for global cooperation. They address the urgent need for collective action towards a sustainable and resilient future. By embracing this collaborative approach, we forge a path towards a low-carbon future that benefits both humanity and the environment.”

By closely aligning all activities with the UN’s Article 6 framework, ACX’s work is also plotting a pathway for the voluntary and compliance carbon sectors to line up in the coming years.

About the ACX Group:

The ACX (formerly AirCarbon Exchange) Group, including ACX Ltd and AirCarbon Pte. Ltd. which operate environmental exchanges in Abu Dhabi and Singapore respectively, caters to corporate entities, financial traders, carbon project developers and other industry stakeholders. ACX provides participants with an efficient and transparent trading platform that is user-friendly, seamless and offers the lowest transaction fees in the market. Leveraging distributed ledger technology, ACX facilitates the scalable growth of the environmental product markets to align with global ambitions of achieving Net Zero.

ACX has garnered international recognition as the Best Carbon Exchange globally in Environmental Finance’s esteemed Voluntary Carbon Market Rankings for two consecutive years (2021, 2022), solidifying its position as a leader in the industry.

From Innovation to Integrity: Bybit’s Take on Digital Asset Regulation at VTIS 2024

Published

on

from-innovation-to-integrity:-bybit’s-take-on-digital-asset-regulation-at-vtis-2024

DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, was a prominent participant at the Vietnam Tech Impact Summit (VTIS 2024) in early December. The event brought together global leaders, legal experts, and industry pioneers to discuss the evolving regulatory landscape for digital assets during the panel discussion titled “The Legal Frontier of Digital Assets: Benefits, Challenges, and Global Experiences.”

The Digital Asset Regulation Challenge

As digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and tokenized securities, transform global finance, regulatory clarity has become a pressing issue. The panel explored critical topics such as:

  • Economic Opportunities: The benefits of legalizing digital assets to enhance financial ecosystems and drive economic growth.
  • Global Regulatory Challenges: Fragmented regulations across jurisdictions and their impact on businesses and investors.
  • Best Practices: Insights from pioneering nations like Singapore and the UAE that have implemented advanced frameworks for digital assets.
  • Industry Leadership: The role of exchanges like Bybit in ensuring compliance and fostering a sustainable digital asset market.

Bybit’s Insights on Regulatory Evolution

Representing Bybit, Robert MacDonald, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer highlighted the transformative impact of digital assets on traditional financial sectors such as banking and securities. Blockchain technology is enabling faster, more cost-effective transactions, while tokenization in securities markets increases liquidity and transparency. MacDonald emphasized that financial institutions have a unique opportunity to innovate by adopting digital asset services like custody and trading platforms to attract tech-savvy clients and enhance operational efficiency.

However, MacDonald noted that integrating digital assets presents challenges, including regulatory uncertainty, cybersecurity risks, and the complexity of incorporating new technologies with legacy systems. He stressed the need for robust regulatory measures to address these issues, citing lessons from incidents like FTX’s collapse. “Effective regulation is critical to creating a secure and transparent trading environment,” MacDonald said. “Transparency, market surveillance, and strong consumer protections are essential to building trust and ensuring sustainable growth in the digital asset ecosystem.”

MacDonald advocated for comprehensive regulations requiring financial disclosures, enhanced market surveillance, and the segregation of customer funds to mitigate risks like market manipulation and insolvency. He concluded that by fostering trust through thoughtful regulation, the digital asset industry can achieve sustainable innovation and long-term growth.

Key Takeaways for Stakeholders

  • Clarity Drives Growth: Transparent and consistent regulations reduce uncertainty, enabling businesses to innovate and scale.
  • Investor Protection: Legal frameworks safeguard consumers and create an environment of trust in the digital asset market.
  • Vietnam’s Opportunity: As Vietnam emerges as a key player in the digital finance ecosystem, aligning with global best practices while addressing local needs will be pivotal.

The panel at VTIS 2024 highlighted the urgent need for global regulatory consistency to enable scalability and trust in digital assets. Discussions emphasized the importance of robust frameworks that balance innovation with consumer protection, drawing lessons from leaders like Singapore and the UAE. Industry players such as Bybit were recognized for their critical role in driving compliance and fostering market stability, reinforcing the vision for adaptable legal frameworks that ensure sustainable growth in the digital asset ecosystem.
