NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Green Impact Exchange (GIX), the first U.S. securities exchange dedicated to connecting resilient and sustainability-focused companies with climate-conscious capital, today announced its 2026 Product Roadmap that is designed to advance the future of climate-conscious finance. The planned suite of products includes the GIX SAFE Trust™, the GIDX Digital Gateway™, the GIX U.S. Green Economy Index, and the GIX Alpha™ voluntary listing tier. The launch of these financial products is subject to SEC review and approval.
GIX is establishing a modern exchange for the sustainable economy. GIX’s anticipated offerings include innovative financial products that, in combination with the launch of its traditional listings exchange in mid-2026, will strengthen capital formation, enhance liquidity, and bring regulatory oversight to fragmented environmental markets.
“Most innovations at exchanges focus on faster or cheaper trading — neither of which helps companies access capital, the core need that exchanges were originally created to fulfill,” said Daniel Labovitz, CEO of GIX. “Transitioning to a resilient, resource-efficient economy will require an estimated $30 trillion of climate-aligned investment and better mechanisms to allocate it. With these products, GIX is putting capital back at the center of capital markets.”
