CTX has launched a White Label version of its carbon market technology. The partnership agreement will enable GCN to negotiate deals with carbon trading platforms and regular stock exchanges worldwide to provide buyers spot market access to carbon credits, RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates), and offsets. Thus, an AI and blockchain-technology-powered global carbon marketplace will be created featuring carbon futures contracts based on trusted high-quality carbon credits from hundreds of projects in multiple carbon registries. These include the UNFCCC CDM Registry, Verra VCS, and Gold Standard.
GCN undertakes to support the expansion of the licensing of GEM technology infrastructure for National Carbon Meta-Registries for nations to activate their commitments under the Paris Agreement and the creation of ITMOs or voluntary carbon credits like the recently launched Global Carbon Registry (GCR) and credit standard and the recently released Core Carbon Principles by the Integrity Council for voluntary carbon markets.
CTX, GEM, and GCN will work together to expand origination of voluntary credits globally and execute larger-scale trading of the credits, bringing together the GCN business and financial network with the 15 years of experience embedded in CTX and GEM’s “Technology Infrastructure for the Future of our Planet”.
The CEO of CTX, Wayne Sharpe, stated: “The current carbon markets must scale by a factor of 10 to 100X to reduce CO2 emissions globally and meet the Paris Agreement targets. Current registry infrastructure is insufficient.
Stock Exchanges globally are struggling to handle the unique carbon trading requirements in the voluntary markets – which deliver the much-needed Climate Finance via Carbon Credits. CTX will supply and support the required technology – then the buyers decide ”
The CEO of GCN, Richard Martin, added that “this Strategic Partnership Agreement is a big opportunity for GCN to use its extensive network of partners, affiliates, and investors to fast track our global expansion plans with a proven set of carbon technology infrastructure”.

Over Half of Consumers Will Pay More for Brands That Are Transparent About AI Data Use, New Usercentrics Research Finds24.6.2026 09:30:00 EEST | Press release
AI transparency has become a commercial differentiator, and it's reshaping where brand revenue is won — or lost. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260623804294/en/ Over half (52%) of consumers globally will pay more for brands that are transparent about how they use AI with their data at an average 7% premium. In Germany, that figure rises to 73% of consumers willing to pay a 9% premium, the highest of any market. The finding comes from the second annual State of Digital Trust 2026 Report, commissioned by Usercentrics, a leading data privacy technology company, and conducted by Sapio Research across 11,000 consumers in seven markets. The opportunity for brands that act is matched by the cost of inaction. Almost half (47%) of consumers surveyed have taken at least one action with a direct revenue consequence in the past six months because of concerns about how their data was being used in AI — canceling a subscri
LTM Joins Athena, a Chainguard-led Industry Coalition to Help Secure Open Source Software in the AI Era24.6.2026 09:30:00 EEST | Press release
LTM, the Business Creativity partner to the world’s largest enterprises, has joined Athena, a new industry coalition led by Chainguard, focused on protecting open source software from the rising threat of AI-driven vulnerabilities. Athena brings together leading organizations across the global software ecosystem to address an urgent challenge. As frontier AI models advance, they are increasingly capable of identifying novel vulnerabilities in open source software at machine speed, often faster than traditional disclosure and patching processes can respond. As AI accelerates both software development and the discovery of vulnerabilities, the window between a flaw being identified and being exploited has narrowed sharply. Athena is designed to close this gap through shared intelligence, coordinated action, and pre-disclosure remediation across the ecosystem. The coalition supports vulnerability management end to end, from discovery and analysis to patching, layered mitigations, and upstr
