Holiday Special 2025: The Year in Review | Part 2
from SmarterMarkets™ · host Abaxx Technologies Inc.
We begin the new year on SmarterMarkets™ with Part Two of our Holiday Special 2025: The Year in Review. This week, we’re continuing to revisit the conversations with our guests that helped us understand and articulate the themes that would come to define 2025. It was the year in which we discovered that this was not the energy transition that we were expecting; and the year in which a new geopolitical reality emerged and old geopolitical concerns resurfaced. It was the year featuring a tale of two carbon markets and the need for new weather markets to manage the risks posed by reliance on renewable power. And 2025 was the year in which there was both a new gold rush and a rush into tokenization. We hope you’ll sit back, relax, and enjoy Part Two of our Holiday Special 2025: The Year in Review.
