Unlocking a Trillion Dollars in Natural Resources.
Carbon Dollar X is a Collateralized Multi Asset Token, created from the company’s own need to monetize old growth forestry assets, while preserving them for future generations.
Through strategic acquisitions and development Carbon Dollar X will create the most advanced Exchange and Settlement Platform, for trading any type of security, currency or carbon credit.
Despite the fact that many developing countries have billions of dollar worth of natural resources, they are still impoverished and cannot provide potable water and or reliable electricity. The choice should not be between bulldozing a forest or feeding and housing your community. With our new financial framework, governments and investors alike can unlock desperately needed financial resources.
The intention is to establish an asset backed digital marketplace and bring into existence a modern and effective exchange and settlement platform that is synonymous in quality and efficiency with the leading global FX exchanges, but for alternative investing and financing for developed and emerging markets.
Carbon Dollar X’s mission is to establish a universal platform that is financially liquid and has the utmost security and confidence, upon which to trade ubiquitously with all exchanges, and settle in any currency.
The objective of Carbon Dollar X, is to be the global standard for digital asset exchange with a real-time transaction workflow and settlement ability, in an ultra- secure environment.
This Collateralized Multi Asset Token is backed by greater then two times the issuance value in insured assets, allowing for stability and expansion. The throughput and security of its proven technology has been tested for years with hundreds of thousands of real time transactions daily, in complementary industries. The technology is now designed to provide near real time settlements for all platform nodes.
