Gambit Custody, a regulated digital asset custodian, has partnered with global ESG technology expert GEN to introduce Malaysia’s first blockchain-driven sustainable energy investment framework. This initiative connects investors directly to real solar and green energy projects, ensuring full transparency and trust. The partnership was announced on 17 November 2025, with Ivy Fung, Foreign Digital Investments Manager at MDEC, attending the launch event in Kuala Lumpur.

The collaboration between Gambit Custody and GEN aims to reduce greenwashing risks by providing verifiable data on solar output, emissions reduction, and environmental performance. This data is tracked on-chain, offering reliable ESG reporting for Malaysian corporations. Datuk Clifford Hii, Group CEO of Gambit Group, stated, “Our first-of-its-kind partnership with GEN represents a major step towards bridging the gap between digital asset infrastructure and real-world sustainability.”

Key highlights of the partnership include the digitisation of green energy assets by GEN and their safeguarding by Gambit Custody. This initiative supports Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the target of achieving 70% renewable capacity by 2050. Ines Yong, Co-founder and CEO of GEN, remarked, “This partnership combines our strong expertise in the global ESG market and Gambit Custody’s unmatched infrastructure and market knowledge.”

By integrating GEN’s blockchain technology with Gambit Custody’s regulated infrastructure, the partnership seeks to accelerate credible green capital flows into Malaysia, aligning financial performance with verifiable climate outcomes.
