JPMorgan Launches Tokenized Carbon Credit Market to Boost Transparency and Efficiency

JPMorgan Chase is piloting a blockchain-based carbon credit market in collaboration with three major carbon registries—S&P Global Commodity Insights, International Carbon Registry, and EcoRegistry. The initiative aims to tokenize carbon credits, with each token representing one TON of carbon dioxide offset, providing businesses with verifiable proof of their environmental commitments.

The renewables and forestry sectors are expected to be the first adopters of this system, leveraging blockchain's immutability to simplify complex carbon accounting processes. This MOVE aligns with the broader trend of tokenizing real-world assets, extending the stablecoin model to environmental projects.

JPMorgan frames the project as a financial-sector-led effort to address decarbonization, combining S&P Global's data analytics prowess with its own financial expertise. The bank emphasizes transparency and market revitalization as Core objectives.
