-- LCX, the largest regulated cryptocurrency exchange in Liechtenstein, has launched ESG data tracking for cryptocurrencies, becoming the first centralized exchange (CEX) to offer comprehensive environmental impact data for over 120 cryptocurrencies. This initiative, powered by LCX’s partner Crypto Risk Metrics, provides investors, regulators, and the public with transparent insights into the energy consumption, carbon emissions, and renewable energy usage of major blockchain networks.
Bringing ESG Transparency to Crypto: With growing regulatory and institutional focus on sustainability, LCX is taking a proactive role in making ESG data accessible, credible, and actionable. The energy consumption assessments were conducted in an ISO-accredited TÜV-Center, ensuring accuracy and reliability. By integrating ESG insights directly into the LCX trading platform, users can now incorporate environmental impact considerations into their investment strategies and regulatory compliance efforts.
Key ESG Insights Now Available on LCX
• Bitcoin’s Estimated Annual Energy Consumption: 165 TWh (Comparable to a mid-sized country)
• Ethereum’s Renewable Energy Usage: 17.2%
• Solana’s Energy Consumption per Transaction: Among the lowest in the industry
“Crypto’s energy impact is an important topic, and transparency is key,” said Monty Metzger, CEO of LCX. “By offering detailed ESG data, LCX is not just setting a new benchmark for reporting but also empowering investors with the insights they need to make informed and responsible trading decisions.”
Setting a New Standard for ESG Reporting: As institutional and retail interest in crypto ESG metrics continues to rise, regulatory bodies are increasingly demanding transparent disclosures. LCX’s partnership with Crypto Risk Metrics ensures that its ESG reporting is based on independent, high-quality data.
Tim Zölitz, CEO of Crypto Risk Metrics, emphasized the importance of credible sustainability reporting:
“LCX is leading the way in ESG transparency for crypto by integrating energy consumption data into its trading platform without any conflict of interest and adhering to the highest electricity-measurement standards. This ensures that investors and institutions can access frequently updated, reliable sustainability metrics to support responsible investing.”
