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.”
