GIGACAPITAL Launch

Abu Dhabi, 09.12.24 – GIGACAPITAL, a pioneering fintech platform and a key division of the recently announced GIGATONS technology and funding platform headquartered in Abu Dhabi General Markets (ADGM), has officially launched with the mission to scale the investment needed to deliver gigatons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) reductions, with an initial focus on mobilising $100Bn over the next decade. By bridging traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized (DeFi) and regenerative finance (ReFi), GIGACAPITAL aims to revolutionize climate-focused financing to accelerate the global transition to net zero.  

Scaling Investment for Impact  

GIGACAPITAL addresses one of the most significant challenges in the race against climate change: mobilizing and scaling capital at the speed and magnitude required. The platform offers: 

• Innovative Financial Instruments: Tokenizing capital, real-world assets, and delivering high quality carbon credits to unlock new funding pathways 

• Integration of Finance Models: Combining the stability of TradFi with the agility of DeFi and the purpose-driven ethos of ReFi 

• Carbon Monetization and Verification: Ensuring that every dollar invested delivers measurable and verifiable carbon reductions 

“At GIGACAPITAL, we believe finance is the catalyst for meaningful climate action,” said Heston Harper, co-CEO GIGATONS, the parent company of GIGACAPITAL. “By merging financial innovation with environmental integrity, we’re creating a system that not only funds the transition to Net Zero but also proves it.”  

GIGACAPITAL also announced its partnership with Wise Capital Partners, to support the creation and operation of tokenised funding vehicles to accelerate and measure carbon impact. 

A Platform Built for Accountability 

Through the use of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and smart contracts provided through the latest innovations offered by the Alephium blockchain, GIGACAPITAL provides: 

• Transparency and Trust: Immutable records of carbon impact and financial flows 

• Scalable Solutions: Tools to attract institutional, corporate, and individual investors to the Net Zero economy 

• Incentives for Action: Innovative financial mechanisms that reward measurable sustainability achievements 

Strategically Positioned in Abu Dhabi 

Headquartered in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), known as the Capital of Capital, GIGACAPITAL is strategically positioned to leverage the UAE’s leadership in climate finance and innovation. The platform serves as a bridge between global financial markets and the urgent need for financing climate action.
