XION, a verification infrastructure technology company, has partnered with the Blockchain for Good Alliance to launch the Global Impact Accelerator (GIA), a joint fund designed to support startups creating blockchain-based solutions that advance the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
The GIA’s first $100,000 fund deployment was announced at the Global Impact Forum in Copenhagen, hosted by the BGA and the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) AltFinLab.
The accelerator’s mission is to identify, fund, and incubate early-stage projects that leverage blockchain for measurable social good, using XION’s verification infrastructure to ensure transparency and accountability.
“The Blockchain for Good initiative was launched to bring about social good through blockchain technology, and we look forward to advancing that mission further with the launch of the Global Impact Accelerator,” said Helen Liu, Co-CEO of Bybit, which supports the BGA initiative.
Blockchain for Social Impact
The Global Impact Accelerator marks progress in the BGA–XION partnership. XION said it is showing broader engagement with governments, NGOs, and institutions to promote verifiable and trusted digital ecosystems. The collaboration seeks to help mission-driven entrepreneurs scale their solutions responsibly and sustainably.
“The launch of the Global Impact Accelerator brings us one step closer to realizing blockchain’s potential for measurable social progress,” said Freya Chen, Executive Director of the BGA. “By combining XION’s unique verification infrastructure with the BGA’s mission-driven network, we’re empowering innovators who can both prove and scale their impact.”
Rigorous Selection and Mentorship Process
According to XION, all participating projects will undergo a strict selection process to ensure clear alignment with SDG targets, tangible impact potential, and long-term business viability.
The GIA will also collaborate with HackQuest to assess each team’s technical capacity, scalability, and ability to execute on their mission. Successful applicants will receive funding, technical support, mentorship, and introductions to strategic venture capital partners.
Building Proof-Based Public Infrastructure
Anthony Anzalone, founder of XION, said this latest initiative is designed to help build evidence-based public infrastructure that governments, NGOs, and citizens can trust.
“Trust is paramount in government programs. For XION, verification is fundamental for digital infrastructure in a world where trust is the scarcest resource,” Anzalone said.
“BGA and XION will offer a model for verifiable, inclusive public systems that work for everyone—without technical gatekeepers,” adds Anzalone.
Fireblocks Hooks XION Into Its $10T Platform
In October, Fireblocks, the $8 billion crypto infrastructure provider, announced that it has integrated XION, a next-generation Layer-1 blockchain built for mainstream adoption.
XION claims the partnership is a step toward bringing blockchain to the masses—removing the complexity of wallets, seed phrases, and unpredictable gas fees that have long deterred institutional and consumer use.
With Fireblocks’ platform securing over $10 trillion in digital asset transactions, the integration allows banks, enterprises, and brands to explore blockchain-based programs across payments, loyalty, gaming, and tokenization.
Market Performance and Token Momentum
While XION has made strides in building institutional partnerships and real-world use cases, its token has yet to gain strong market momentum. Currently trading at around $0.49, XION’s market capitalization sits near $21 million, with a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of roughly $100 million, according to CoinMarketCap.
The token’s price has seen a sharp decline since its early highs near launch, reflecting a broader trend where infrastructure-focused blockchain projects often lag in retail popularity compared to meme coins or high-yield DeFi tokens. However, trading volumes have recently shown signs of renewed activity—up over 40% in the past 24 hours—suggesting that investor interest could return as the project’s real-world impact and partnerships, such as the Global Impact Accelerator, gain visibility.
