How Blockchain Is Making Carbon Credits Transparent

Episode 59 of Crypto Tech explores how blockchain is solving the transparency crisis in carbon credit markets. Lucas and Luna dig into the Voluntary Carbon Market, which topped $2 billion in 2025 but is plagued by double-counting and questionable offsets. They examine how tokenized carbon credits on public blockchains allow real-time verification of retirement and ownership, with companies like Toucan and KlimaDAO pioneering on-chain carbon pools. The hosts discuss the recent controversy where a major airline had to restate its carbon neutrality claims after audits found credits were already retired on-chain, and how smart contracts could automate compliance. They also touch on the market reaction: as of June 2026, the COIN price is up 2.2% in the past five days, partly due to growing institutional interest in blockchain-based ESG solutions. A practical, numbers-driven look at how distributed ledger tech could restore integrity to a $2 billion market. #CryptoTech #Blockchain #CarbonCredits #SmartContracts #Toucan #KlimaDAO #ESG #Transparency #Tokenization #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #OnChain #Auditability #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #DecentralizedTechnology #ClimateTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
