Crypto exchange BitMEX has said it is now carbon neutral, following the company’s commitment made earlier this year.Crypto exchange BitMEX now claims it’s officially carbon neutral. The announcement follows a previous commitment to achieve carbon neutrality earlier this year.

“Sustainability is the challenge of our time. Bitcoin—and cryptocurrency in general—is the transformative technology of our time. Especially around COP26, it’s only natural that crypto faces tough questions about the environmental impact of the technology that enables our work,” said BitMEX CEO Alexander Höptner in a prepared statement. In May, BitMEX committed to carbon neutrality and began a carbon offsetting program that involved donating at least $0.0026 for every $1 of blockchain fees its clients paid.

“This is important because it allows us to mitigate the environmental impact of our current activity while we make more structural, long lasting plans,” Höptner added.more information
