Product Launch

Gold Coast – – September 23, 2026 -- Carbon Trade eXchange (CTX) has launched CTX Corporate One, an invitation-only trading account that waives its account-opening fee for the first time in the exchange's 18-year history and replaces percentage-based commissions with a flat US$0.10 charge per credit, per side.

The move targets institutional-scale buyers and sellers of high-quality carbon credits, typically priced above US$10 per tonne of CO2e, rather than smaller retail or SME participants. CTX is extending invitations during New York Climate Week, inviting eligible organisations to 'request an invitation'.

CTX drops standard 2%-5% commission structure for its largest members

Standard CTX membership charges buyers 2% and sellers 5% of trade value plus an annual account fee. Corporate One eliminates both the account-opening fee and minimum balance requirement, replacing them with a flat per-credit fee that holds regardless of price movement.
