The number of crypto-related environmental issues has increased a lot over the last 12 months, Moss CEO hopes that other crypto firms will join.

Concerns regarding proof-of-work (PoW), crypto asset networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have increased significantly over the past 12 months. Regulators around the world have been warning about the potential environmental damage caused by PoW networks in the crypto industry. Digital currency firms were proactive in seeking greener solutions long before regulators and bureaucrats took action.

Luis Felipe Adaime, the CEO and founder of Moss, explained Friday that the company hopes that other crypto firms will follow Bitso’s lead. Adaime stated, "We are proud to partner Bitso. They are an important leader in the digital currency sector." "We hope that other projects in the space will follow their lead to offset their carbon footprint."
