The Korea Exchange (KRX) is establishing a dedicated voluntary carbon credit market to provide a structured trading platform for corporations. The initiative includes a new listing review system designed to filter out low-quality credits and prevent greenwashing. To increase liquidity, the KRX is pursuing strategic linkages with global registries and overseas exchanges. This move follows a memorandum of understanding with Xpansiv to facilitate cross-border trading and integrate the Korean market into the global climate finance ecosystem.
