Unnatural Causes: Cryptocurrencies, Carbon Credits, and the rise of Neoliberalism from Below

open access: yesEconomic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Klima is a carbon‐backed cryptocurrency running as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). In 2021, it had accumulated 9 million metric tons of digital carbon credits and reached a market value of more than US$1 billion. In 2023, its treasury stored twice as many carbon credits, but its spot price was a tiny fraction compared to 2021 ...
