(CBOE:ABXX)(OTCQX:ABXXF) (“Abaxx” or the “Company”), a financial software and market infrastructure company, majority shareholder of Abaxx Singapore Pte. Ltd., the owner of Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse (individually, “Abaxx Exchange” and “Abaxx Clearing”), today announced that it has submitted technical comments to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) in response to its request for input related to a project on identity and authorization for software and artificial intelligence (“AI”) agents. In February 2026, the NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) released a concept paper outlining considerations for a potential project to demonstrate how identity standards and best practices can be applied to software and AI agents, with a focus on agentic AI applications. Following the recent introduction of MarketOS™, the Company’s institutional transaction productivity suite, Abaxx proposed an open-standards architecture as a candidate model for the NCCoE’s planned reference implementation. Drawing on its ID++ identity protocol, the Company proposed utilizing W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) in workflows where autonomous agents are authorized to execute high-value transactions, to ensure that authorized actions remain auditable across the global financial ecosystem, with cryptographic proof of intent binding AI-driven decisions to regulated market requirements. As part of its formal comments, Abaxx has indicated its interest in contributing as an industry collaborator to the NCCoE’s proposed project and the subsequent development of a practice guide for AI agent identity in financial services.
