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.

Unlocking Carbon Credit Liquidity Through Web3

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.

Spotlight at EBC: Bridging ESG Assets with European Markets

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.

Why Europe? A Strategic Hub for Green Finance

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.

Powered by VEX: Building the RWA Infrastructure for Green Finance

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.

The Journey Ahead: From EBC to Global Standards

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.”
