Upexi Stock Jumps 520% After $100M Crypto Deal With GSR
Upexi Inc. saw its stock rise more than 520% on Monday after crypto trading firm GSR announced a $100 million private investment in the company.
The investment was made through a private investment in public equity (PIPE), according to a press release issued by GSR. The funding will help Upexi shift to a new strategy that uses cryptocurrency, specifically Solana, as a core part of its financial plans.
