Goobit Group has signed a collaboration agreement with Xpecunia Nordic. The agreement gives Goobit exclusive rights across the Nordic countries to sell the cryptocurrency that Xpecunia Nordic extracts by means of green energy.
This makes BTCX the first Nordic exchange platform to offer cryptocurrency uniquely produced with renewable energy. The company’s goal is to work for a growing share of sustainably produced cryptocurrency on the BTCX-platform. The Swedish crypto industry is now taking an important step towards a greener mining of cryptocurrencies. Through a new agreement with the mining experts Xpecunia, BTCX will be able to offer cryptocurrencies that have been mined using solar energy.
By focusing on building on solar power plants in direct connection to the mining premises, Swedish Xpecunia can produce crypto assets without generating direct carbon emissions – and the company already has several plants in Sweden. It is these solar-produced crypto assets that Goobit now will sell on the BTCX platform.
BTCX will also be able to report how large the share of sales of “green” cryptocurrencies is. The ambition is to transparently report future trends.
“BTCX is Sweden’s oldest exchange for cryptocurrencies and thanks to a close collaboration with Xpecunia, we can now offer customers guaranteed green crypto assets,” says Pär Helgosson, CEO of Goobit.
“In the next step, BTCX will introduce a framework and a methodology for certification of crypto mining where the producers need to meet a number of criteria in order to be certified,” says Pär Helgosson. “It also allows buyers of cryptocurrencies to be sure of its origin.”
“The creation of cryptocurrencies has so far been a form of arbitrage of electricity,” says Daniel Moström, CEO of Xpecunia. “Now we are changing the equation completely. Xpecunia has a solution which eliminates the environmental problem, lowers electricity costs radically and dramatically increases profitability.”
“We wanted to buy locally produced goods,” says Christian Ander, founder of BTCX. “Locally produced goods are good at all levels, this also applies to cryptocurrencies, and the advances in solar energy will revolutionize electricity production in crypto mining.”
