Universal Carbon

UPCO2 - Carbon Credits - Uphold

Environmental assets are a form of Socially Responsible Investing [SRI], which allow you to invest in ways that benefit the environment and have a social impact.



Pioneered by institutional investors such as the Yale Endowment Fund and Wellcome Trust, this form of investing has also been shown to have the potential for strong investment returns thanks to powerful macroeconomic trends.



For a new generation seeking more than a financial return from investments, our new tier of environmental assets provides a perfect choice.



At Uphold, we are democratizing access to environmental assets by supporting tokens created by the Universal Protocol Alliance, a coalition of leading cryptocurrency companies seeking to accelerate the mainstream adoption of crypto. 



Universal Carbon Tokens [UPCO2] are transparently minted on the Ethereum blockchain and are backed 1:1 by a Verified Carbon Unit - a digital certificate from a respected standards agency (such as Verra) certifying that one tonne of carbon pollution has been averted by an underlying environmental project, such as rainforest protection.
 


Our first environmental token breaks new ground as the world’s first tradable carbon credit that can be bought, held, and sold as an investment - or burned to offset a carbon footprint. 



Our second Token launching soon creates the cleanest form of a leading cryptocurrency by making every transaction on its network carbon neutral.

Now virtually anyone can participate in the battle against climate change.

What are Environmental Assets?

You should choose environmental assets if you are looking for more than a financial return from your investments.


The tokens we list allow you to participate in the battle against climate change and be confident in the integrity of what you are buying. Every token is transparently substantiated by a digital certificate from a respected standards agency verifying that one tonne of carbon has been averted by an audited rainforest project.


Universal Carbon [UPCO2] is the first asset in our environmental portfolio and every token is backed by one certified carbon credit.


Powerful macroeconomic forces underpin the Voluntary Carbon Unit market and, according to some experts, could drive up prices as more countries introduce and tighten emission-control targets, forcing companies to offset their emissions by purchasing credits. Furthermore, a growing number of firms (and individuals) are choosing to offset their carbon footprints voluntarily. 


Research by the IMF and Morgan Stanley suggests that the price of carbon credits would need to rise to US$75 per metric tonne by 2030 to limit the planet’s warming to 2°C. The average current price is US$12.


Integrating environmental assets into portfolios has already proved successful for some institutional investors seeking social benefits as well as increased returns. The UPCO2 Token now allows virtually anyone to participate in this growing trend.


According to the World Bank, in 2020 humanity compensated for just 22 percent of global emissions through the purchase and retirement of carbon credits, and yet the proportion of countries operating regulated carbon markets has risen from 40 percent of global GDP in 2016 to 70 percent in 2020. 
The result is a wall of demand that may far outstrip the production of new carbon credits, which is limited by the painstaking process of carbon project certification.

Like any new token, UPCO2 may initially be subject to low levels of liquidity, which could result in wide spreads when you sell. The UP Alliance expects that many exchanges will want to list UPCO2 since it is linked to such an important and growing global issue.

Early adopters should be aware, however, that initially the UPCO2 token can only be sold on the Uphold platform and may be subject to high spreads until it achieves wider adoption.

Additionally, the price of the underlying carbon credits has historically been volatile and can be affected by external market dynamics and potential legislative and regulatory changes. See here for more information concerning risks specific to holding digital assets.

The crypto industry’s first “mega utility token,” UPT is the native token of the Universal Protocol Alliance, a coalition of leading blockchain companies that together form a foundational architecture for bringing digital money into the mainstream. 

UPT first made its debut in November of 2019 on Bitcoin.com Exchange and then later more broadly expanded liquidity venues. UP Alliance members, including Blockchain at Berkeley, CertiK, OmiseGO, and Uphold, help power an ecosystem comprising more than 10 million users (regular consumers and blockchain industry members alike) who tap into, or stake, via the mega utility token, benefits which can include anything from getting ultra-competitive rates for cash-back offers to discounts on trading costs. Another upside, for ecosystem-dwelling developers: reduced code auditing fees.

Consumers can use the token to make transactions with UP Alliance's Ethereum-blockchain-supported proxy tokens – the Universal Dollar (UPUSD) and the Universal Euro (UPEUR) – as well as Universal Bitcoin (UPBTC), allowing multi-way convertibility and a more secure to own/shift among underlying currencies.

Cryptoassets are very high risk, speculative investments. You should be aware and prepared to potentially lose some or all of your money. You should carefully consider whether trading or holding cryptoassets is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. Additional risk warnings are contained on Uphold’s Legal page.

This content is correct as of January 2022.

Since hitting a low of $0.00065086 in April 2020, UPT has since risen by nearly 700%; however, at $0.0052 (as of mid-October of 2020) it is down 72% from its all-time high reached in February 2020. At least one digital asset forecaster, Digital Coin Price, puts UPT at $0.0125 by 2021. Uniswap (v2) is the current most active market trading it.

XLM or Stellar Lumens is the cryptocurrency of the Stellar blockchain network. It can be used to represent any form of currency or value transacted on the network, as well as pay for transaction costs. 

Launched with 100 billion lumens, the total supply was reduced by half in 2019, leaving approximately 20 billion lumens on the open market and 30 billion in a development fund. 

XLM as a transaction technology is outstanding - allowing users to transfer almost any amount of value across the world in seconds, for a tiny fee. 

Read an in-depth Briefing Note on XLM, here.

The price of Stellar Lumens (XLM) can change rapidly, as the crypto is traded 24/7/365 all over the world.

Just like any traded asset, the price changes based on supply (how many XLM are available for sale) and demand (how many XLM people want to buy).

NEM stands for ‘New Economy Movement’. Not ‘just another’ blockchain, but a smarter, more dynamically advanced blockchain. The Founders call the project a ‘Smart Asset Blockchain’, which can manage assets, data and do away with the issues that other blockchains face such as long transaction times and network congestion. This makes it potentially a more viable project for partnerships and companies using the NEM platform.

NEM is the first cryptocurrency to create their code from scratch after Bitcoin. It was originally a fork of the cryptocurrency NXT but then developed from scratch to become NEM (XEM). 

NEM is run by the NEM.io foundation in Singapore, a non-profit organization. XEM is the currency used on its blockchain. However, it has yet to enjoy wide adoption by merchants as it is still in the early stages. Today, (9.10.2020) XEM is only being used to pay other members of the NEM community and to transaction fees on the NEM platform.

Note: this cryptocurrency is not available for withdrawal to external crypto wallets. It can be bought, held, and sold on Uphold.

NEM lives in the same space as Ethereum, Stellar, and Ripple. NEM ‘s blockchain was designed for speed and scalability.

The project was created to bridge a gap in the market with a highly flexible, customizable blockchain to suit the needs of different projects. 

The focus is on four core elements; performance, ease of development, deep customization, and security.

NEM uses a distinct algorithm – Proof of Importance - and delegated harvesting to reward verification. When a block is harvested, it is permanently added and the harvester is rewarded from transaction fees.

This ensures the system is as efficient because harvesting is an energy-conserving process, unlike mining. Also, there is no incentive for rewarding miners for unrestricted use of power - running the system is affordable and this drives down the cost of transactions.

Taking away the power from the miners levels the field for all network participants. The system is efficient because NEM uses the proof of importance algorithm to enhance the abilities of the blockchain and make it useful to more businesses.

XEM has a large supply compared with something like Bitcoin which has only ~21million available. 

There are  8,999,999,999 XEM on the market; the total supply. This makes the crypto unusual compared with competitors who typically lock up a portion of supply for early-investors or a foundation. 

Poor marketing:
This is often the case for cryptocurrency projects - not enough information for potential investors and users explaining what the project does, or how it can help them. No one knows who leads the project or the upcoming developments on its roadmap. 

Is it special enough? 
Yes, it was built from the ground up to be unique like Bitcoin, but does that make it a good long-term prospect for adoption? Not necessarily, there are many competitors that arguably do it better and have more smart-contract functionality compared with XEM. 

It’s big in Japan:
Many countries champion specific projects. For NEM it’s Japan. It was designed specifically for business projects and there was talk that they were establishing it as the ‘go-to’ blockchain for enterprise adoption in Japan. 

Light on resource:
In an environmentally-sensitive climate, and with many critical of cryptos that consume vast amounts of power to mine using the PoW (proof of work) model, many adopters want greener currencies. XEM uses ‘delegated harvesting’,  NEM’s alternative to mining Accounts.
