JustCarbon and Likvidi both announced the start of trading platforms for tokenized carbon credits, giving participants the ability to trade greenhouse-gas emissions and lower their carbon footprints.
JustCarbon opened a marketplace for its JustCarbon Removal Units (JCRs), it said Thursday. Likvidi announced a platform for its Liquid Carbon Credit (LCO2) on Wednesday.
Both LCO2 and JCRs are blockchain versions of carbon credits issued by Verra (VCS). JCRs also represent credits issued by Gold Standard. Each is equivalent to 1 metric ton of carbon.
The two companies join a growing band of institutions exploring how blockchain technology can be used to improve environmental management. China introduced a carbon trading system last summer, and late last year the University of Cambridge said it was working on a similar project, looking to develop a blockchain-based market for trading carbon credits that will support reforestation projects to preserve biodiversity through the Cambridge Centre for Carbon Credits.
"The world is now waking up to the challenge of reducing carbon emissions. Governments alone won’t achieve this," Likvidi CEO and co-founder Ransu Salovaara said in an emailed statement.
JustCarbon aims to build a transparent and effective “nature-based carbon sequestration marketplace,” it said in a press release. The project also wants to provide a way for smaller companies to offset and trade their greenhouse-gas emissions. The tokens have been built to operate cross-chain and will be tradable on third-party exchanges from today.
Buying a carbon credit gives the holder the right to offset one metric ton of carbon or greenhouse gas equivalent. In order to obtain an offset, the token must be destroyed.
JustCarbon's platform will be administered by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), which means that no single entity or vested interest group will own or control it. A separate token, the JustCarbon Governance Unit (JCG), will facilitate community voting and decision making for the DAO.
Likvidi is working with DAO Maker. The platform will run on Avalanche.
JustCarbon has also partnered with NFT Design Works, a creator and curator of digital collectables, so that non-fungible tokens (NFT) can benefit from carbon offsetting.

AWS Accounts for 60% of Operating Profit, Amazon Delivers Q2 Results with No Weak Spots

Amazon reported its Q2 2026 financial results, with total sales reaching $200.6 billion, maintaining year-over-year growth. Net profit was $62.6 billion, significantly boosted by a $53.4 billion non-operating pre-tax gain primarily from its investment in AI company Anthropic. The more indicative operating profit was $27.5 billion. Amazon Web Services (AWS) was the key profit driver, contributing 60.5% of the company's operating profit. AWS revenue grew 36.8% year-over-year, with its operating profit rising nearly two-thirds. This growth provides crucial financial support for Amazon's broader investments in retail and infrastructure. Other segments also showed solid performance. Advertising revenue grew 26.2%, while third-party seller services and online stores maintained positive momentum, strengthening the core retail business. Despite strong profits, Amazon's trailing twelve-month (TTM) free cash flow turned negative, as $169 billion in property and equipment investments (largely for data centers and AI) outpaced $161.4 billion in operating cash flow. This highlights the company's heavy ongoing capital expenditure, even as investment gains inflate net income. The results present a dual picture: robust operational earnings led by AWS alongside massive reinvestment into future growth, particularly in AI infrastructure.

With Two Consecutive Quarters of Losses, Coinbase Must Rely on Paths Beyond Trading

Coinbase posted its second consecutive quarterly net loss of $359 million on $1.22 billion in revenue for Q2, highlighting its vulnerability to crypto market cycles where weaker prices and lower volatility reduce user trading. However, the report also reveals a strategic shift in its business model. Despite a 25% quarter-over-quarter decline in global spot trading volume, Coinbase increased its market share to a company-record 10.3%. This suggests its position as a compliant U.S. on-ramp is strengthening even in a cooler market. A key development is the diversification of revenue streams. Transaction revenue fell to $599 million, nearly equaling subscription and services revenue of $555 million. Stablecoin services, generating $292 million, are becoming a crucial revenue "floor." This income, derived from interest on the $20 billion average USDC balance held on its platform, is less tied to daily trading activity. Furthermore, while spot trading volume dropped significantly, derivatives volume held steady at $1.03 trillion. Coinbase is pushing to integrate spot, stablecoin, and derivatives liquidity to create a more interconnected and sticky ecosystem for users. The GAAP net loss includes non-cash expenses like stock-based compensation and crypto asset valuation changes. Its adjusted EBITDA remained positive at $208 million for the 14th straight quarter, indicating core operations can cover ongoing costs. The company is also reducing expenses to manage the downturn. The central question moving forward is whether Coinbase's growing market share, stablecoin revenues, and expanding product integration can sufficiently offset the inherent cyclicality of its core trading business during future market contractions.

June Quarter for Earth's Most Valuable Tech Company: Apple's Revenue Breaks $100 Billion for the First Time

On July 30, Apple announced its quarterly results, with revenue surpassing the $100 billion mark for the first time in a June quarter, reaching $109.4 billion—a 16.4% year-over-year increase. This record performance was driven by all-time highs for the period in iPhone, Mac, and Services sales. Key to this growth was the iPhone, which accounted for nearly two-thirds of the $15.4 billion revenue increase compared to the same period last year. Both Europe and Greater China contributed significantly, with the latter seeing 22.4% growth. While Services revenue represented only 28.1% of total revenue, it contributed 42.4% of gross profit due to its high 75.6% gross margin, acting as a profit stabilizer alongside the hardware surge. Notably, EPS grew 28.7%, faster than revenue. However, Apple disclosed that a one-time tariff refund added approximately 2 percentage points to the gross margin and $0.11 to EPS. Excluding this impact, the adjusted EPS growth rate would be approximately 21.7%. This distinction highlights two separate dynamics: operational growth from core businesses and a temporary boost to profitability. The report ultimately paints a picture of broad-based growth, with hardware driving scale, Services enhancing profitability, and a one-time item influencing the profit growth rate.

In the Age of Artificial Intelligence, We Need 'Magicians,' Not 'Managers'

In the AI era, leadership must shift from management to magic. As knowledge rapidly expires, value shifts from what leaders know to what they can facilitate. Traditional "inside-out" management, driven by internal experience, is giving way to "outside-in" thinking focused on external opportunities, customer needs, and disruptive change. The core challenge is fostering new ideas that may invalidate existing knowledge. While technologies like steam, electricity, and AI provide the "skeleton" for innovation, it is human vision—connecting technology to customer dreams—that creates magic. Historical figures like Richard Arkwright and Eldridge R. Johnson succeeded not by inventing core technologies, but by reimagining work and business models from the outside in. Leaders must transition from controllers to "architects of flourishing." Their role is to design environments where empowerment, creativity, and adaptive learning thrive. This involves granting autonomy, fostering partnerships, and building resilient systems that scale innovation. Critical leadership qualities now include judgment, creativity, and the ability to learn continuously rather than relying on static expertise. Therefore, cultivating future leaders requires a focus on timeless fundamentals, humanities for broader perspective, and social acuity, rather than over-specialization in quickly outdated technical skills. The future rewards those who respond to the unseen and create conditions for better answers to emerge. Leadership in the AI age is less about having all the answers and more about enabling others to discover them—creating organizations where people explore, imagine, and thrive.

The End of This Bull Market's 'Greatest Myth': 'AI Stock God' Leopold Crushed in Weeks, Citadel Takes Over $16 Billion in Stock Assets

The once-celebrated "AI stock god," 24-year-old Leopold Aschenbrenner, has seen his hedge fund's spectacular rise end in a dramatic collapse. His fund, Situational Awareness (SA), built a narrative around explosive AI infrastructure demand, raising $45 billion and achieving a 439% return in H1 2026 by heavily leveraging (4x) concentrated long positions in stocks like SK Hynix and CoreWeave, while shorting legacy software firms. In July 2026, a sharp reversal hit AI stocks, triggering massive losses in both long and short positions. Facing margin calls from banks, SA was forced to sell its entire $16 billion public market portfolio in a 36-hour fire sale. Citadel acquired the assets at a significant discount, one of Wall Street's largest emergency stock trades. SA's assets under management plummeted from a $45 billion peak to roughly $10 billion, retained entirely in private holdings like a stake in Anthropic. The episode underscores that being right on a macro trend does not guarantee survival, highlighting the critical risks of extreme concentration and high leverage without a sufficient buffer against market shifts.
