Carbon offsetting platform IMPT.io is set to go live with its highly-anticipated IMPT token on the LBank exchange today.

The eco-friendly token – which has been built on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain – promises a sustainable project for investors as it aims to help users offset their carbon emissions by accumulating IMPT tokens.

Investors can then convert their tokens into carbon credits on IMPT.io’s platform, which will be issued as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and then trade them on IMPT’s marketplace or acquire a new NFT with unique artwork.

IMPT.io went live with its initial token presale in October with a price of $0.018, and raised more than $1m in the first 72 hours of its presale.

Its second token presale went live with a slight uplift in price, set at $0.023, but that didn’t seem to stop investors, with IMPT raising more than $20.5m in its total presale capital.

Measuring environmental impact 

IMPT has gathered significant attention from users looking to take part in impactful environmental projects around the world with the purpose of reducing carbon emissions.

The blockchain firm currently works with myriad businesses, such as Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Samsung (SMSN).

It is aiming to partner with 10,000 retailers to help raise awareness and develop greater consciousness of how every individual can reduce their carbon footprint, especially in a sector where mining and minting new coins can consume a lot of electricity.

It’s highly-anticipated token will be available to all users of LBank Exchange today, with the IMPT/USDT trading pair set to be officially available for trading at 10:00 UTC.

The token will also be listed on decentralised exchange (DEX) Uniswap (UNI), although a confirmation date is yet to be announced. 

IMPT.io chief executive officer Denis Creighton previously said that in addition to listings already agreed with centralised exchanges LBank and Uniswap, a further seven exchanges are also in the pipeline.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
