Singapore – Open-source payment platform UPCX hasannounced a new milestone for its staking ecosystem: the total staked amount has reached 1.78 million UPC (approximately $3.6 million), just one step away from the 2 million UPC phase target. Recently, community participation has been on the rise, and the remaining quota continues to decrease. This progress not only reflects global users’ recognition of UPCX, but also highlights its innovative staking mechanism in the Web3 payment field. In response, UPCX officials have provided a detailed interpretation of the relevant ecosystem mechanisms, emphasizing that their original intention is to serve an efficient, liquid, and intelligent payment network, rather than simply for speculation or token lock-up.
Since July 2025, the cumulative staking volume on the UPCX platform has rapidly increased from 975,000 UPC to 1.78 million UPC. Flexible participation mechanisms and community incentive activities have attracted a large number of individual and institutional users. Koki Sato, Chief Marketing Officer of UPCX, stated: “The continuous increase in total staked amount is strong evidence of global users’ recognition of the UPCX payment ecosystem. Staking is not just about locking tokens; it is a key mechanism for enhancing the efficiency and security of global transactions.”
Unlike the traditional “stake to earn” model, UPCX deeply integrates the staking mechanism into the payment network architecture as a core part of system design, ensuring transaction efficiency and stability. Staking not only provides sustainable incentives for participants, but also enhances capital liquidity through flexible lock-up periods and convenient exit mechanisms. UPCX has abandoned short-term strategies that simply pursue high APR; instead, its reward mechanism is linked to actual network usage, focusing more on robust incentives and the long-term health of the system. Koki Sato added: “Our staking mechanism enables every staker to directly participate in maintaining the efficiency and security of the ecosystem—users themselves are an important driving force of the payment network.”
Since the mainnet launch in October 2024, the UPCX ecosystem has continued to expand. Currently, the UPC token is listed and traded on several compliant exchanges such as BitTrade and MEXC, providing users with convenient channels for trading and participation. Leveraging the brand exposure brought by the WebX 2025 summit, UPCX is constantly expanding practical application scenarios and promoting the integration of Web2 and Web3. With the continuous growth of total staking volume, the activity and diversity of the UPCX staking ecosystem continue to rise, and its mechanism design has attracted increasing attention and recognition from users and institutions.
