Buyback program of up to $10 million designed to strengthen the long-term token circulation structure and support sustainable ecosystem operations.
Nextthe Abu Dhabi-based blockchain company behind it MapleStory Universe (MSU)today announced the launch of a NXPC buyback program of up to $10 million.
The initiative aims to strengthen a token circulation structure that centers real users and participation, while supporting the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem. NXPC is the native token of MSU, the blockchain-powered extension of Nexon’s iconic MapleStory IP, which drives user engagement including contribution rewards and item unlocks.
Under the program, Nexpace will conduct open market purchases worth up to $10 million of NXPC on global digital asset exchanges. To minimize potential impact on the market, open market purchases will be made gradually over a three-month period in multiple tranches and delegated to a third-party implementation partner.
The initiative was developed based on the insights gathered during MSU’s first year of live operations. Over the past year, more than 850,000 wallets used the platform, with approximately two-thirds spending NXPC monthly, contributing to 49.1 million NXPC in ecosystem revenue, equivalent to $31 million. In the first quarter of 2026, player spending exceeded rewards distributed, reflecting the deep organic engagement across the ecosystem.
Combined with the 8.32 million NXPC burned to date, the buyback program is designed to support healthy token circulation as MSU evolves into a broader IP-powered ecosystem powered by active onchain participation. It also strengthens NXPC’s long-term ecosystem alignment for users who actively participate and contribute to the ecosystem.
Sun Young Hwang, CEO at Nexpace said: “As MapleStory Universe continues to evolve, our focus remains on building an ecosystem where participation and utility remain closely linked. This program reflects our continued commitment to supporting healthier ecosystem dynamics over the long term as engagement continues to grow. Year one gave us confidence that we are on the right track, and we want to ensure that users, builders and contributors are meaningfully rewarded for what they help build in the long term.”
NXPC acquired through the program will be retained within the Treasury for future use in supporting long-term ecosystem sustainability. Users can contact us for more information Nexpace’s IR page.
