Revenue model

1. Marketplace Transaction Fees: Xpansiv operates exchanges (CBL, H2OX, ACE, JSE-V Carbon, RVCMCX) that facilitate trading of RECs, carbon credits, clean fuel credits, and other environmental commodities. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on spot exchanges and OTC trades executed through the platform.
2. Registry Services: APX-powered registries (NAR, TIGR, and others) provide issuance, tracking, transfer, and retirement of renewable energy certificates. These operate on subscription/account fee models with registration fees and annual account subscription fees as evidenced by NAR registry terms stating 'Accounts will be billed for applicable Registration and Annual Account Subscription Fees.'
3. Brokerage and Market Execution: Evolution Markets provides brokerage, structured transaction, and consulting services for futures contracts and OTC environmental commodity transactions, generating commission-based revenue.
4. Managed Solutions: Xpansiv Managed Solutions (formerly SRECTrade) provides managed services for solar SRECs and clean transportation credits, enabling solar installers, homeowners, EV charging networks, and fleet operators to generate and sell credits for revenue.
