- According to a Tuesday press release, the firm describes its Climate Accounting Infrastructure (CAI) as a transparent platform that offers companies a means to trace their emissions.
- The CAI is intended to complement an organization's existing systems including IoT sensors with outside data sources to set up an indelible record of emissions on a blockchain.
- The solution comes at a time when investors are broadening their scope beyond "financial factors" to include social and corporate governance practices, KPMG's U.S. blockchain lead, Arun Ghosh, said in the announcement.
- Looking ahead, climate infrastructure will be "critical" in order to meet stakeholder expectations, Ghosh said.
- To bring its solution to market, KPMG will work with industry groups, large tech players and climate-focused tech companies.
- These will include businesses such as blockchain data visualization company Context Labs, software company Prescriptive Data and ConsenSys-backed Allinfra, a blockchain firm already working on carbon offsetting infrastructure.
- In June, KPMG also announced a suite of tools designed to enable corporate customers to better manage their crypto-asset services.

Telegram Ring Ran Pump-and-Dump Network That Netted $800K in a Month: Solidus Labs
A Solidus Labs investigation details how an invite-only Telegram group used bots, fake narratives and rapid token deployments across Solana and BNB Chain to manipulate markets.
What to know:
- PumpCell orchestrated synchronized token launches, sniper-bot buys and meme-driven hype campaigns to inflate micro-cap tokens to seven-figure valuations within minutes, according to a new forensic investigation by Solidus Labs.
- The group generated an estimated $800,000 in October 2025, moving funds through centralized exchanges and an OTC cash broker to allegedly evade compliance controls.
- Solidus says crypto’s AMM-driven markets, bot execution and cross-chain pseudonymity make such schemes difficult for legacy monitoring tools to detect — and warns PumpCell reflects a broader, evolving pattern of digital-asset abuse.
