Inside Upexi’s SOL play: staking yield and locked token deals

The post Inside Upexi’s SOL play: staking yield and locked token deals appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Upexi is the largest public company holding Solana tokens and uses a SOL strategy to build its holdings and generate additional revenue through staking.
