The trading and settlement layer for sustainable capital.

CicadaX gives investment funds, family offices and corporate treasuries a single regulated venue to source, hold and report on ESG-compliant digital assets.

Operated by CicadaX Pte Ltd, Singapore. Available to qualified institutional and accredited counterparties.

The thesis

Bridging financial innovation and environmental responsibility.

Sustainability has moved from a values statement to a capital-allocation requirement. Mandates, procurement policies and reporting obligations demand asset channels that meet institutional standards.

CicadaX is built for that brief. We connect regulated counterparties with a curated universe of sustainable digital assets — and we operate the venue, the settlement rails and the reporting workflow that institutional finance actually needs.

The CicadaX Standard

Every asset is scored 0–100. The score is public. So is the math.

The Standard is our operational definition of “sustainable” — what we will and won’t list, how we rank what we do list, and what we tell you about each asset. It is editorial, transparent and versioned: five weighted pillars, one score, one tier.

Gold90–100

Best-in-class for sustainable digital assets. Top recommendation for thematic allocations.

Green75–89

Strong sustainability alignment. Fits the thesis directly.

Cyan60–74

PoS infrastructure or DeFi blue-chip with clean consensus. Sustainability-compatible.

Amber40–59

Listed for operational utility (stablecoins) or breadth. Not a sustainability statement on its own.

Five weighted pillars

  • Consensus & energy30%

    The actual energy footprint of validating the chain the asset runs on.

  • Real-world utility25%

    Does the token directly enable a sustainability outcome — or only claim to?

  • Network maturity15%

    Track record, validator decentralisation, audits, time since mainnet.

  • Transparency15%

    Public roadmap, treasury accountability, governance, open source.

  • Brand alignment15%

    Is sustainability the project’s actual mission, or incidental?

Never listed, at any score

  • Proof-of-work chains
  • Travel-Rule-breaking privacy coins
  • Fossil-fuel RWA tokens
  • Meme coins without utility
  • Assets under regulatory enforcement

Proof-of-work chains aren’t scored low — they aren’t listed at all. Scores are reviewed quarterly, deltas are published with rationale, and conflicts of interest are disclosed inline. Methodology v0.1 — tier hues for Gold and Amber are provisional pending final brand specification.

The venue

One regulated venue. Two execution paths.

Centralised execution for size and speed. On-chain settlement for transparency and self-custody. Both governed by the same eligibility framework.

Institutional Terminal

Execution, with the controls funds expect.

Spot trading with block execution and RFQ workflows. Programmatic access via REST and WebSocket. Margin and structured products on the roadmap.

  • Spot · RFQ · block trading
  • API + WebSocket access
  • Sub-account & permissioning
  • Audit-ready trade reporting
On-Chain Settlement

Non-custodial routing for verified assets.

Settle directly from your own wallet across audited routing contracts. Asset eligibility is restricted to verified sustainable instruments on proof-of-stake networks.

  • Self-custody by default
  • Audited routing contracts
  • PoS networks only
  • MEV-protected execution paths

Singapore-incorporated, regulated posture

Operated by CicadaX Pte Ltd, structured for compliance with the Monetary Authority of Singapore framework for digital asset service providers.

Asset eligibility review

Every listed instrument passes a published eligibility framework covering consensus mechanism, environmental claim provenance, and counterparty risk.

Customer balances reconciled against on-chain proofs. Independent attestations published on a regular cadence.

Reporting built for finance teams

Trade, holdings and impact data exportable to standard accounting tooling. Tax lots, realised P&L, and emissions data in a single workflow.
