Nexpace Announces Up to $10 Million NXPC Buyback Program to Strengthen MapleStory Universe’s Token Ecosystem
Nexpace, the Abu Dhabi-based blockchain company behind MapleStory Universe (MSU), has announced the launch of an NXPC buyback program worth up to $10 million — designed to reinforce a token-circulation structure centered on real users and sustainable ecosystem participation.
NXPC is the native token of MSU, the blockchain-powered expansion of Nexon’s iconic MapleStory IP, powering user engagement across contribution rewards, item unlocks, and broader platform activity.
Under the program, Nexpace will conduct open-market purchases of up to $10 million in NXPC across global digital asset exchanges. To minimize market impact, purchases will be executed progressively over a three-month period in multiple tranches, with execution delegated to an external execution partner.
 
Built on a Year of Real Data
The initiative was shaped by insights gathered during MSU’s first year of live operations. Over the past year, more than 850,000 wallets engaged with the platform, with approximately two-thirds spending NXPC monthly — contributing to 49.1 million NXPC in ecosystem revenue, equivalent to $31 million. By Q1 2026, player spending had outpaced rewards distributed, reflecting the depth of 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 driven by active on-chain participation — reinforcing long-term alignment between NXPC and the users who contribute most to the platform.
Sun Young Hwang, Chief Executive Officer at Nexpace, said, “As MapleStory Universe continues to evolve, our focus remains on building an ecosystem where participation and utility remain closely connected. This program reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting healthier long-term ecosystem dynamics as engagement continues to grow. Year one gave us confidence that we are on the right path, and we want to ensure long-term users, builders, and contributors are meaningfully rewarded for what they help build.”
NXPC acquired through the program will be retained in the treasury for future use to support long-term ecosystem sustainability.
