Want to help the planet? Then have a listen to this episode. Two of the biggest macrotrends - decarbonisation and digital assets come together in one of the hottest Web3 plays around – Betacarbon. Recently the Smorgon family made a large investment in Betacarbon using ANZ’s new stablecoin to facilitate the token purchase.

Buying carbon credits is a massively complex proposition and there are only 50 or so companies in Australia actively trading carbon. For the rest of us, the closest we get is whether we want to pay some extra money to the airline to offset the carbon emissions when we buy a plane ticket. Betacarbon changes all that. This company allows everyone to buy/trade carbon credits – using tokens.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How the carbon credit and offset regimes work in Australia
• How you can access those markets using Betacarbon
• How the Smorgon/ANZ stablecoin transaction worked – seeing tokens as the future of investing.

Guy started the business with his son Jules so we also get a bit of parenting advice thrown in – at no extra charge.
