🧪 What's Upexi Anyway?
Upexi (NASDAQ: UPXI) started life as a consumer brand developer, Amazon merchant, and DTC dreamer. But it’s since gone full crypto-chameleon: now dabbling in everything from Solana staking to tokenized equity to mining rigs in the jungle of speculative finance.
Yes, you read that right. Upexi makes gummies 🍬, sells pet gear 🐾, and has more SOL 🪙 in its treasury than any other publicly traded company. Ever heard of multi-tasking? This is multi-asset-ing.
👀 Insider Action: They're Buying Like It's a Bull Run
