Barcelona, October 17, 2025 — STC Foundation, a pioneering force in green finance and ESG asset tokenization, made a high-profile debut at the 11th European Blockchain Convention (EBC), held on October 16–17 at FIRA Barcelona. The event gathered over 6,000 industry participants, 300+ speakers, and 200+ top-tier institutions, cementing its place as one of the most influential blockchain events globally.
STC’s participation marks a critical milestone in its global expansion—bringing its Real-World Asset (RWA) carbon credit model from Asia to the heart of the European green finance ecosystem.
Founded by a coalition of carbon neutrality experts, blockchain developers, and ESG-focused financial institutions, STC Foundation is committed to transforming carbon credits into liquid, verifiable, and globally tradable assets through real-world asset tokenization (RWA).
Its flagship platform, STC Protocol, leverages advanced technologies such as ZK-proof and TEE to create a compliant, auditable, and interoperable system for carbon credit issuance, transfer, and settlement on-chain—enabling enterprises and institutions to treat carbon credits as real financial assets.
At EBC 2025, STC focused on its mission to digitize ESG assets through RWA innovations, showcasing three key initiatives:
Regulatory Engagement:
Engaged in high-level dialogues with EU institutions including the European Commission and the Platform on Sustainable Finance to explore regulatory frameworks like GDPR and CSRD for compliant on-chain carbon credit operations.
Ecosystem Integration:
Initiated collaborations with European voluntary carbon programs (e.g., VERRA, Gold Standard) and corporates seeking carbon neutrality to expand its tokenization use cases.
Protocol Demonstration:
Presented the full-stack RWA infrastructure including asset origination, token issuance, and secondary market circulation, highlighting STC’s dual-layered market structure to attract RWA DeFi builders and institutional platforms.
Following the successful rollout in Asia—where over $50 million worth of carbon credits have been tokenized—STC is making Europe the next focal point of its RWA roadmap for several strategic reasons:
Regulatory Maturity:
Europe leads the world in sustainable finance regulations and is a major issuer of ESG-linked assets.
Surging Carbon Market Demand:
With the implementation of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the need for carbon asset transparency and liquidity has surged.
Compliance-Friendly Blockchain Integration:
STC enables a seamless bridge between Web3-native carbon assets and real-world corporate sustainability frameworks.
STC is a core incubation project within the VEX ecosystem, benefiting from VEX’s robust technical infrastructure and strategic capital network. Together, the two entities are forming a foundational alliance for carbon RWA innovation—enabling structured carbon derivatives, RWA investment funds, and multi-chain interoperability for ESG asset management.
Barcelona is just the beginning. STC Foundation is set to participate in upcoming global forums such as Token2049 and COP30, continuing its mission to create a unified global standard for green assets on the blockchain.
“The future of carbon credit tokenization is already here. Powered by Web3, we are building a new financial paradigm that is efficient, transparent, and truly sustainable.”
