DeepMarkit Provides Update on Industry Outlook and Operations

Calgary, Alberta – January 9, 2025 – DeepMarkit Corp., (“DeepMarkit” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MKT) (OTC: MKTDF) (FRA: DEP) a technology company leveraging blockchain for environmental solutions, is closely monitoring the revitalization of the voluntary carbon market and aligning its strategy to capitalize on this recovery.

Market Dynamics

Following a significant surge in 2020 and 2021, the verified carbon market experienced a contraction in 2022 and 2023, due in large part to concerns over integrity and quality of voluntary carbon market (“VCM”) projects. Innovation and tightening of policy surrounding VCMs, along with a renewed emphasis on high-quality and high-integrity projects has triggered renewed interest, with the market once again showing signs of expansion and growth.1

Ernst & Young, McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and Morgan Stanley anticipate a market value ranging from $30 billion to $50 billion by 2030. More optimistic outlooks from Goldman Sachs and Wood Mackenzie forecast a market size of $100 billion by 2030. Conservative projections, such as PwCUK's estimate, suggest growth up to $30 billion by 2030.2

This pivot towards quality and credibility marks a transformative phase, opening new avenues for innovation and value creation within the sector.

Looking Ahead

DeepMarkit remains committed to enhancing shareholder value by strategically responding to these market trends. As part of this initiative, the company is exploring enhancements to its blockchain platform, MintCarbon, including the potential integration of Solana, while identifying market segments that prioritize transparency and quality.
