Isometric has closed its Series A funding round at $50 million with backing from Intercontinental Exchange, operator of the New York Stock Exchange. The investment brings Isometric's total capital raised to $75 million across seed and Series A rounds. The certification platform has been contracted to certify more than 16 million tonnes of carbon removal, making it the largest certifier globally by contracted volume. Isometric has since expanded beyond carbon removal into industrial emissions, energy, fuels and materials, with more than 200 projects now using its platform. Isometric's AI-powered Certify platform works with independent verifiers to examine data supporting sustainability claims, reducing certification timelines from months to hours. Customers include Microsoft, Anglo American, Boeing and JPMorgan Chase.
Intercontinental Exchange reported strong August operating metrics, with double-digit year-over-year growth in average daily volume and open interest across major asset classes. The company achieved record interest rate futures open interest of 16.8 million lots on 31 August. Agriculture and metals contracts saw particularly strong growth, with average daily volume rising substantially year over year and open interest increasing more than half. Overall, August data showed 14% average daily volume growth and 19% open interest growth. The company's narrative projects $12.3 billion revenue and $4.6 billion earnings by 2029, requiring 5.7% yearly revenue growth. Analysts' estimates vary, with pessimistic projections showing revenue reaching $12.4 billion with flat earnings near $4.0 billion.
Intercontinental Exchange, parent of the New York Stock Exchange, has signed agreements with tZERO to build infrastructure for a tokenised securities platform. tZERO will serve as design partner for digital transfer-agent and broker-dealer systems supporting on-chain settlement. ICE will invest in tZERO's latest funding round and license its blockchain patent portfolio, which spans 23 patent families and 103 patents covering token lifecycles, compliance-aware transfer logic, and smart contract frameworks. tZERO is expected to seek approval as a digital transfer agent on ICE's NYSE-affiliated Digital Trading Platform. The companies will also evaluate using tZERO's tokenised assets for collateral management across ICE's clearing houses. The partnership marks tZERO's deepest tie to a major exchange operator. No timeline for regulatory approval or platform launch was disclosed.
