Young (YNG) economic model: buyback in February

In February 2026, the first YNG buyback begins. Discover how we intend to anchor the value of the token to the growth of the ecosystem.

In February 2026, we officially activate the economic model of YNG. The fundamental step of this phase is the launch of the first official buyback, an operation designed to directly link the commercial growth of the platform to the health of the token. This milestone marks the evolution of Young Platform toward its current mission: building a solid infrastructure that unites traditional and decentralized finance. 

However, to understand the scope of this change, it is necessary to dismantle one of the most persistent myths in the sector: the idea that the most effective way to grow an asset is “burning” and the digital scarcity connected to it. Discover everything about the YNG buyback and its economic model, and delve into the details of the reasons that led us to prefer this setup.

Beyond the burn myth: YNG as a capital asset

To design a truly sustainable tokenomics, we must first stop looking at digital assets only through the lens of “currencies.” In the crypto sector, the almost obsessive tendency toward burning stems from the fact that tokens are mistakenly treated as if they were currencies (like the dollar or the euro). In that case, the only way to counteract inflation and devaluation caused by the uncontrolled issuance of money by central banks is, theoretically, to forcibly reduce its supply, even if this never actually happens. But YNG is not a currency or a coin; it is an utility token. 

Conceptually, YNG belongs to the category of capital: it is more similar to equity than to currency. Its fundamental value does not derive from a bureaucratically imposed scarcity, but rather from the ability to reintroduce the wealth generated by Young Platform’s real services—such as staking, the debit card, and banking activities—back into the system. 

From this perspective, destroying tokens would be a technical contradiction: it would be as if a startup decided to burn its own shares instead of using them to attract liquidity, finance growth, or reward those who support the project. While the burn model limits itself to reducing supply in a vacuum, our system uses repurchases to actively fuel the market.

The value flows fueling the system

The monthly budget allocated to this operation does not arise from speculative assumptions, but from real and measurable revenue flows generated by the entire ecosystem. The revenue sources fueling this engine are: 

  • Staking Fees: the fees paid for the feature that allows users to receive rewards on the cryptos they hold on our platform. 
  • DEX pool fees: the fees generated by our liquidity pools (such as YNG/WETH and YNG/USDC on Uniswap). 
  • Card transaction fees: the 0.15% generated by every single expenditure made with the Young Platform debit card. 
  • Step Contribution: 50% of the value of the YNG issued by the Step app (up to a maximum of €5,000 monthly).

How the model works: alternation between buyback and liquidity

The mechanism aims to maintain the balance of the ecosystem through a strategic alternation between repurchase and pool rebalancing, following a bimonthly logic. Let’s look at a practical example describing how the model will act over the next two months. 

  1. February – buyback focus: the first month is dedicated to the repurchase of YNG directly from the market using the euros derived from the features listed above. This buying pressure directly reflects the commercial growth of the platform and accumulates tokens in the treasury. 
  2. March – focus on liquidity: since the buyback could unbalance the reserves, next month the primary activity will be the injection of new liquidity into the decentralized pools. This increases market depth, making YNG exchangeable with greater ease and reducing volatility. 
  3. Rollover: the repurchased YNG are not burned but return to the Treasury to fuel subsequent cycles. If there is a remaining Euro budget, this enhances the buyback; if there are remaining tokens, these enhance the liquidity of the following month.

Conclusions: building instead of burning

At Young Platform, we have chosen a different path from many crypto projects, one more oriented toward real capitalization. While burning simply reduces supply (often without a real impact), our model uses repurchases to ensure that the ecosystem is always liquid and solid. We are excited to start this engine in February. 

However, we will maintain a dynamic approach: we reserve the right to calibrate this mechanism based on the real evolution of the market and the depth of the pools. We will always act with the necessary prudence to ensure long-term sustainability. The future of YNG is not being “burned,” but built day after day, transaction after transaction.

Token YNG: Q4 2025 Report

Token Young (YNG): updates and news Q4 2025

What happened? What are the next steps?

The YNG token report for Q4 2025. What happened in a 2025 full of news? What are the next steps to take? What happened in the last quarter? What were all the goals achieved in 2025? What awaits us in 2026, a decisive year for our future? How many YNG tokens were issued, bought, and sold, and what are the next steps to take?

Young Platform’s 2026

2025 was not just the year of the breakthrough we promised: it was the year in which we redefined our horizon. Twelve months ago, our roadmap was an ambitious outline; today, it has become the backbone of an ecosystem unparalleled in Italy. We did not limit ourselves to following a pre-established path; we chose to evolve at the pace the market requires. 

As Peter Thiel teaches in the famous Zero to One, true progress does not lie in copying what exists, but in going from zero to one, creating something entirely new. Aiming high allowed us, despite missing a few intermediate targets, to reach an unimaginable position compared to the start. 

The most radical evolution concerns the payment account and the debit card. Officially released in November for the Platinum Club and contest winners, the rollout will begin for the other Clubs in the second week of February.

What will you find in this Report? As the title suggests, the protagonist is the Young token (YNG). After years of construction, 2025 marked its consecration. The listing on Uniswap sparked the most explosive expansion phase in its history

And then? Much more: from the contests that accompanied us to the launch of the card, to the birth of a new Club, today the privileged gateway to our ecosystem. Finally, an institutional milestone: the official filing of the MiCA license application. You will find the details of this journey and the next strategic steps in the Q4 2025 Quarterly Report. As always, the most exclusive content is reserved for Club members.

Account and card: here we go!

The first chapter of this report should be dedicated to the functionality that consumed nearly all of our energy in 2025. If you follow us on Discord, you know the path was anything but downhill: between supplier delays, legal complexities, and notably frustrating technical bugs—such as entire batches of cards with non-functioning contactless—the road was uphill. 

We are currently opening access to the other Clubs gradually and expect to make the functionality public to everyone between mid and late February. Why not immediately? A progressive release allows us to identify bugs in a controlled manner without overloading the infrastructure, ensuring the stability ofthe other sections of the app.

We already know what you are asking yourselves: “When are Apple and Google Pay arriving?” or “How will we distinguish ourselves from competitors?” At the moment, the product is in what we define as Layer 0 (the basic version), but we already have a defined roadmap for future integrations. Some of these answers and technical previews are reserved for the Club version of this report. If you are not yet a part of it, the ideal starting point is the new Club Essential.

MiCA: formal filing deposited

2025 concludes with the achievement of a fundamental regulatory objective, confirming our position as a leader in the regulated market. We are proud to announce that, following extensive preparatory work across all areas of the company, we formally filed the MiCA license on December 5, 2025, and are currently awaiting responses from the competent Supervisory Authorities. This passage marks the natural closure of a path begun months ago. It reaffirms our commitment to operate within the most advanced regulatory framework in Europe, with transparency and investor protection as top priorities. 

It is important to note that, under the transitional regime provided by Italian legislation, our operations continue withoutinterruption and in full compliance. For you, this means you can continue to use every platform service with maximum peace of mind, without taking any action, and with the assurance that your assets are managed in accordance with the highest security standards. We will keep you constantly updated on the outcome of the procedure, proud to have honoured our commitments to our community, and ready to inaugurate 2026 under the sign of full European compliance.

In parallel with the MiCA path, work continues on the functionality dedicated to Futures, which is closely linked to it. Technical development is complete, and the service, along with other platform features, has been fully documented in the MiCA dossier submitted to the authorities. We are therefore awaiting the relevant response to define the final operational framework. Committed to our principle of maximum user protection, we are managing this passage with due caution to launch the service only when every aspect of compliance is fully aligned with the required standards.

Club Essential: The gateway to the ecosystem

The launch of this new level in Q3 2025 is driven by an objective observation: the success of the YNG token. The year-over-year price appreciation is a positive signal for the health of the ecosystem, but it has made entry into OGs Clubs much more expensive. Despite our dynamic rebalancing mechanism, the Bronze Club threshold at times approached €1,000, creating an obstacle for new users. 

The Club Essential is our answer: an entry threshold of 130 YNG that allows anyone to start getting serious without having to wait to reach higher levels. 

Essential advantages:

  • Trading: 5% discount on commissions.
  • Staking: +1% additional APY.
  • Cashback: 0.10% on card purchases.
  • Operations: 2 activatable Smart Trades.
  • Information: access to market reports and the full quarterly report

Consider Essential as a starting point, not a destination. It is the perfect way to test the advantages of the Young Platform world with a limited commitment. Once the benefits have been tested in your daily operations, the transition to the “OG” Clubs (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum) will be the natural next step for those seeking exponentially higher bonuses, discounts, and cashback.

For all other levels, the 130 YNG required are not a cost; they are simply locked on the platform and remain your property. 

Strategic events and the future of Young Group

If we had to choose a keyword to describe a part of Young Platform’s 2026 vision, it would undoubtedly be “presence in the real world.” In the past, we organised live initiatives sporadically, but this year we decided to change our approach by moving to a structured, recurring plan. We are deeply aware that everything we have built is owed to our community, and we feel compelled to give back something tangible, cementing a relationship that, too often in the crypto world, remains confined behind a screen. 

Our strategy is articulated in two main directions that aim for maximum inclusivity and, at the same time, the valorisation of our most loyal supporters. On one hand, we are organising informal meet-ups open to all, designed to meet, discuss the market and get to know each other without filters. On the other hand, we are designing a series of exclusive events for Club members and selected investors. 

We want Club membership to be a tangible advantage that lets you break the fourth wall and be directly involved in our daily work. Putting our faces in it is not just a statement but an act of responsibility: each of us, from management to the technical team, wants to meet with you to show you the commitment and passionwe put into building the Young ecosystem. Furthermore, making the Clubs increasingly attractive through human contact is our priority, as we believe trust is built by looking into each other’s eyes and sharing a vision of a more accessible and transparent financial future. 

I concorsi: “The Reveal”

The saga of Young Platform’s contests was one of the main engines of our 2025, transforming into a real narrative journey that involved the community well beyond the simple reward aspect. Everything started with The Box, the chapter dedicated to addressing financial prejudices, followed by The Unbox. This crucial stage served as a strategic bridge to the launch of the account andcard. The success of the latter was extraordinary: thanks to the Boost Holder mechanism, which rewarded holding YNG with bonus gems, platform activity recorded participation peaks comparable to the market’s moments of maximum euphoria. This commitment translated into a performance of economic significance, with a total trading volume of 19.7 million euros, representing an 8,000% increase from Q3 2024.

On December 9, 2025, we inaugurated the last and most ambitious episode of this trilogy: The Reveal. If the previous chapters prepared the ground, this new phase represents the “Revelation” of reality beyond appearances, with the richest prize pool in our history. For this contest, which ends on March 10, 2026, we decided to refine the game mechanics based on experience. The structure is divided into two parallel competitions: the Championship, based on a general ranking that rewards consistency with iconic prizes such as a Rolex Submariner or a KTM 125 Duke motorcycle, and the Tournaments, six bi-weekly mini-challenges that allow a much wider range of participants to win rewards through random draws.

The real innovation of The Reveal lies in democratising the system. Analysing the Unbox data, we found that those with greater economic availability held a disproportionate number of tickets. To resolve this imbalance, we introduced a Tier system for the unlocking of the lucky tickets: now, the more gems accumulate, the more “expensive” it becomes to obtain new ones. This mechanism in bands also allows those with fewer gems to compete, making even a single mission sufficient to participate in prize extraction. In this way, The Reveal is not just a contest but the culmination of a path of transparency that remains very high toward the ecosystem and the token YNG, which continues to benefit from demand generated by the missions and the advantages reserved for holders.

Young Platform Pro

Parallel to the expansion of our banking services, we have continued to refine the operational core for market professionals. Young Platform Pro has undergone a profound transformation. We adopted the analogy of surgical instrumentation: just as a surgeon needs highly precise instruments to operate safely, an expert trader requires a platform that guarantees instantaneous reactivity, granular control, and absolute operational continuity

The interface has been optimised in line with international standards for accessibility and visual comfort, reducing fatigue during night sessions and maximising information density on modern monitors. The real revolution, however, lies in the total customisation of the work environment: thanks to a modular tab system, each user can now build their own ideal setup, with layouts and TradingView graphic analyses automatically synchronising in the cloud. This flexibility is now complete thanks to the integration of the new mobile-responsive version, which makes the full power of Young Platform Pro accessible directly in the smartphone browser. This means being able to switch from desktop to mobile without any discontinuity, with indicators, trendlines, and graphic studies saved on our servers. 

We have also radically enhanced the order panel to deliver unprecedented execution speed, introducing percentage selectors for rapid capital allocation and total flexibility in calculating amounts, now settable in the base currency of the pair. Under the hood, the integration of API v4 has reduced latency and improved stability, enabling today’s systems to meet the needs of those automating their strategies or requiring real-time data flows. In summary, Young Platform Pro is now a mature, high-performance trading environment designed for those who take the market seriously and professionally. 

As always, we have chosen to reserve the most strategic analyses and the most sensitive data solely for our Club members. They are the true protagonists of our ecosystem and deserve unprecedented transparency into the decisions that shape its future.

For this reason, in the report version reserved for Club members, you will find:

  • News about the Young Platform payment account and debit card;
  • Exclusive Club data: updated member numbers and an analysis of the impact of their purchases on token performance;
  • A look at the future roadmap: our strategies and plans for upcoming listings on other centralised exchanges.

These strategic insights are exclusive to those who serve as protagonists in the Young Platform ecosystem and want to deeply understand the levers that will drive future growth. Your support as a Club member is and remains our greatest resource. We appreciate your trust and invite you to continue following us in this exciting chapter of our journey.

How does The Reveal work?

Whether you’re a veteran or a newcomer, our advice is always never to skip the rules: imagine missing out on the chance to win a Rolex because you didn’t know that gems had to be redeemed – yes, it happened.  

The Reveal is a competition comprising two simultaneous, independent contests: the Championship and the Tournaments.

  • The Championship runs from 9 December to 10 March. Final positions and corresponding prizes will be determined by the overall ranking, which must be active and valid throughout the entire competition period.
  • Tournaments: these “mini-championships” run within the main competition, providing more participants with an opportunity to win prizes. Each Tournament lasts two weeks and offers different prizes than those in the Championship. A total of six Tournaments are scheduled, taking place between 9 December and 10 March.

Important Note: Unlike the Championship, there is no ranking for Tournaments. A random draw at the conclusion of The Reveal will choose the winners. Details on the draw process will be provided soon.

Now that we understand the structure of The Reveal, it’s time to answer the questions you’re bound to be asking yourself: how do you climb the Championship rankings? How can I win the Tournaments? The answer is simple: by redeeming and collecting Gems.

Gems are the key to the competition: the more you accumulate, the more chances you have of winning. 

How do you accumulate Gems? By completing quests

Quests are in-app activities that allow you to earn Gems. They can be classified as daily, weekly, or permanent. Daily quests last for 24 hours, weekly quests last for seven days, and permanent quests do not expire and remain active for the duration of the competition. Some quests are cyclical, returning periodically to the app, while others are one-time events.

Please note that since timed quests (daily and weekly) have expiration limits, it is essential to manually redeem your Gems upon completing a quest. If you do not redeem them before the quest expires, you risk losing those Gems forever, as any unredeemed Gems will disappear along with the quest.

Stay vigilant: regularly check the app, complete the quests, and tap “Claim” immediately.

You will need Gems to climb the overall Championship rankings and to earn tickets. These tickets can be used to participate in draws for the prizes offered in the six Tournaments.

The tickets: in search of the lucky tickets

At the end of the competition, we will conduct a random draw to select the winners from the six tournaments. This draw will take place in the presence of a notary to ensure transparency. Each ticket will have a unique code that we will use to identify the winners.

The data is precise: the more tickets you collect, the greater your chances of being drawn.

To promote decentralisation, we have made the ticket acquisition process accessible to everyone. However, the cost of obtaining tickets will increase based on the number of Gems you have. What does this mean?

The new mechanism for collecting tickets

We created a tiered system structured as follows:

  • Tier 1 – 0 to 500 Gems accumulated: 1 Ticket for every 30 Gems 
  • Tier 2 – 501 to 1,500 Gems accumulated: 1 Ticket for every 100 Gems
  • Tier 3 – 1,501 to 3,000 Gems accumulated: 1 Ticket for every 200 Gems
  • Tier 4 – 3001 or more accumulated Gems: 1 Ticket for every 300 Gems

With this mechanism, you only need to complete a 30 Gem quest to enter Tier 1, receive a Ticket, and be eligible for that Tournament’s prizes.

Additionally, at the end of each Tournament (which occurs every two weeks), the counter and Gems are reset. For example, if you finished the first Tournament in Tier 2 with 80 Gems out of the 100 needed to unlock a Ticket, you will start the second Tournament again from Tier 1 with zero Gems.

We can now proceed to the prizes. 

The Reveal: the Revelation deserves incredible rewards

As mentioned earlier, The Reveal is divided into two competitions that run simultaneously but offer different prizes: the Championship and the Tournaments

Let’s take a look at the Championship prizes, awarded according to the overall ranking:

  • 1st Place: Rolex Submariner No Date (Value ~£10,000)
  • 2nd Place: KTM 125 Duke 2025 Motorcycle
  • 3rd Place: MacBook Pro 14″
  • 4th Place: 2 F1 Monza 2026 Tickets (Tribune 5 Pool)
  • 5th Place: iPhone 17 Pro
  • 6th Place: MacBook Air 13″
  • 7th Place: iPhone 17
  • 8th Place: Apple Watch Ultra 3
  • 9th Place: Google Pixel 10
  • 10th place: 1 ticket to F1 Monza 2026  (Tribune 5 Pool)
  • 11th place: Garmin Venu 4 (41 mm)
  • 12th place: £500 Amazon voucher
  • 13th place: Volagratis voucher worth £500
  • 14th place: Samsung Smart TV 50″ Crystal UHD 4K
  • 15th place: Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones (noise cancelling)
  • 16th place: Volagratis voucher worth £300
  • 17th place: £250 Amazon voucher
  • 18th place: £200 Volagratis voucher
  • 19th place: £150 Amazon voucher
  • 20th place: £100 Volagratis voucher

Not bad, right? There are six tournaments, each lasting two weeks. 

Each tournament offers different prizes, which we will reveal gradually. Starting with the first tournament, if you collect at least one ticket between December 9 and December 23, you will be entered into a draw for a chance to win two diamond tennis bracelets. 

That’s all for now. The reveal has begun—good luck, and may fortune be on your side!

Club Essential is here: access to YNG benefits for every budget

Club Essential Coming Soon: Essential Benefits at 120 YNG

Club Essential is now available! This new 120 YNG tier is our solution: here’s why we created it and what it means for you.

If you’ve been following Young Platform for a while, you’ll have noticed that the YNG token has appreciated significantly throughout 2025, making entry into our Clubs more expensive as a result. It’s an excellent signal for the ecosystem, but it’s also a challenge.

Earlier this year, we introduced dynamic rebalancing (a mechanism that updates Club costs every month) precisely to prevent benefits from becoming completely inaccessible.

However, despite this balancing mechanism, the strong and constant interest in YNG has led to a significant increase in the Euro value required to access the Clubs since the beginning of the year.

This is fantastic news for the ecosystem’s health, but it also highlights a challenge. With the amount of YNG required to lock for Club Bronze occasionally exceeding €1,000, we realised we were missing an accessible entry point for everyone. That’s why, as of today, Club Essential is officially live.

What is Club Essential?

It’s the new gateway to our ecosystem. It’s the essential package for anyone wanting to start benefiting from the Young Platform universe with a smaller commitment.

The cost? Only 120 YNG.

This new tier is our answer for those asking for a way to get serious without having to wait until they reach the Club Bronze threshold.

The Essential benefits

What do you get by locking 120 YNG? A set of fundamental benefits designed for daily platform use:

  • 5% discount on trading fees.
  • +1% additional APY on staking.
  • 2 Smart Trades available.
  • The monthly Market Report.
  • The full version of the Quarterly Report on Young (YNG).

As for benefits in collaboration with our brand partners, they are currently in development; we are working to define specific partnerships dedicated to this new entry-level.

A sarting point, not the destination

Think of Club Essential as your first step into our world. It’s the perfect way to “test drive” the benefits with minimal commitment and understand how it works.

New features released in the future will follow the same logic: benefits will always be scaled according to the Club level. Essential guarantees basic access, but higher Clubs will always offer greater benefits.

Once you’ve tested the benefits, the natural next step will be to continue your journey and upgrade to the “OG” Clubs (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum). These tiers remain, of course, much more attractive to serious users, offering exponentially higher discounts, APY bonuses, and cashback.

How does the entry cost work?

Wondering if the 120 YNG cost will change? Yes. Remember that the YNG cost for all Clubs (including Essential) is updated on the first Tuesday of every month. Through the dynamic rebalancing mechanism, we aim to keep the Euro value of the subscription as stable as possible. If the YNG price goes up, you’ll need fewer YNG to join; if it goes down, you’ll need more. A reminder: just like with all Clubs, the 120 YNG are not spent but simply locked on the platform.

Are you ready to turn your YNG into tangible benefits?

Introducing the new YNG/ETH Pool: more liquidity and benefits for traders

New YNG/ETH Pool on Uniswap: More Liquidity and Benefits

Discover the new YNG/ETH pool on Uniswap: more liquidity, better trades, and tax flexibility for traders. One of the pillars of the Young (YNG) economic model

At Young Platform, our mission has always been to build a robust, transparent, and accessible financial ecosystem. Our YNG token is not just a symbol, but a value driver for our community.

Today, we are announcing a significant evolution in this direction: we have created and supplied liquidity to new pools for the YNG/ETH pair on Uniswap. This initiative, which we began outlining in our last quarterly report, represents the completion of a fundamental strategic step for our YNG token, strengthening its presence and liquidity in the decentralized landscape. It is part of our broader commitment to enhancing YNG’s economic mechanism, a sustainable model that links the token’s growth to the platform’s success.

Why open new YNG/ETH pools on Uniswap?

The creation and addition of liquidity on Uniswap for the YNG/ETH pair are not mere technical integrations, but strategic moves that bring concrete benefits to our community and the token itself. Our goal is to strengthen YNG’s position in the decentralized landscape, continuing on a path we have already set. Greater liquidity offers numerous direct benefits for YNG holders and traders:

  • Greater on-chain accessibility and flexibility: A DEX like Uniswap is a pillar of the decentralized market. By increasing our presence here, we make YNG more easily tradable and accessible to a global audience.
  • Larger trades with lower slippage: With increased liquidity, the market depth for YNG/ETH improves significantly. This means traders can execute larger trades with minimal price impact (reduced slippage), a crucial advantage for both small investors and those looking to trade larger volumes.
  • Operational advantages and tax flexibility with crypto-to-crypto trades: For many users, the ability to trade directly crypto-to-crypto (YNG with ETH and vice versa) on a DEX can offer greater flexibility in managing their portfolio. As the first pair that allows YNG to be traded against another cryptocurrency (ETH) and not against stablecoins or fiat currency, it introduces an advantage from a tax management perspective: it allows for investing and divesting in the token (by swapping it with ETH) without necessarily generating a taxable event, unlike exchanging for fiat currency or stablecoins.

The Numbers Behind the Operation

This quarter, we had already taken a fundamental strategic step by starting with an initial contribution of 38 ETH. Today, we have significantly expanded our commitment: for these new liquidity pools, we have invested 92.86 ETH, for a total equivalent value of €300,000, calculated at an average cost basis of €3,230.65 per ETH.

Such a substantial investment demonstrates our deep confidence in YNG’s potential and the value we place on a highly liquid market. As proof of this liquidity share, our wallet now holds the LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens received in return, which grant us the right to a share of the fees generated by each trade. As is typical for liquidity pools, the amount of YNG and ETH locked in these addresses is constantly fluctuating based on trading activity.

The Role of Liquidity in YNG’s Economic Mechanism

Adding liquidity on DEXs is an integral part of our strategy to support the YNG token. It not only improves the trading experience but also plays a fundamental role in strengthening our economic model. As explained in our whitepaper, the YNG economic mechanism, which will become fully operational with the launch of the payment account, includes a “Buyback and Add Liquidity” logic. The fees generated by these new liquidity pools on Uniswap—which are expected to be particularly significant thanks to the large monetary value deposited within them—will directly fuel this economic model. Specifically, they will be used to buy back YNG from the market and will then be re-added to the pools or used for ecosystem growth, constantly increasing liquidity and linking the token’s value to the platform’s growth. The new Uniswap pools will therefore be a fundamental channel for implementing this mechanism, ensuring stability and depth for the token.

This is a concrete step forward for Young Platform and our community. We continue to build, step by step, a financial future where Euro and crypto coexist in a single, efficient, and advantageous ecosystem.

Token YNG: Q3 2025 Report

Token Young (YNG): updates and news Q3 2025

 What happened? What are the next steps?

The third quarter of 2025 marked an unprecedented growth chapter for the Young Platform ecosystem, solidifying the strategic breakthrough initiated with the listing of the YNG token on Uniswap. What was still a starting point in Q2 has now become a powerful accelerator, propelling our token toward new horizons of value and visibility.

This report analyses the results of an exciting period—characterised by strong market validation and intense work on multiple fronts: from consolidating our presence in DeFi, to enhancing community‑engagement initiatives such as The Unbox, to making important regulatory progress in the lead‑up to MiCA, and participating in key industry events.

As with earlier editions (except the special Q2 2025 issue celebrating the Uniswap launch), the report is offered in two versions:

  • A public version, providing a clear overview of the milestones reached, events, and new developments of the quarter.
  • An exclusive, in‑depth version, reserved for Club members, with detailed analyses of market data, strategy, tokenomics and a sneak peek at our roadmap.

Are you ready to dive into the details of a pivotal phase in our future?

2025 to date: the market validates our vision

The July listing on Uniswap was not just a technical milestone—it marked the beginning of a new era for YNG. Entering the decentralised market triggered an extraordinary reaction, resulting in the most significant price performance in our history.

Listing on Uniswap and price action: beyond expectations

The enthusiasm generated by the listing translated into exceptional price action. From the announcement in early July, YNG’s price surged by over 300%, moving from approximately €0.20 to a new all‑time high of €0.95.

This result is not accidental, but the first tangible confirmation that our long‑term strategy is paying off. The decision to pursue organic and sustainable growth has so far proven successful. We protected the community and enabled the real value of our ecosystem to emerge healthily.

Despite this milestone, we believe that YNG’s potential remains largely untapped. A market capitalisation below €30 million still does not fully reflect the value of a domestic-market-leading company with clear ambitions for European expansion.

Ecosystem adoption is a lengthy process, grounded in daily work and user trust. Each day we strive to maximise the value we offer in return for that trust—and the results of this quarter tell us we are on the right path.

The Unbox

In Q3, we completed The Unbox, our most ambitious prize contest ever, which served as a strategic bridge to the launch of our payment account and debit card. Building on the success of the first edition, we raised the stakes in both prize value and game mechanics—and the results surpassed every expectation.

The impact on engagement was extraordinary: platform activity rose sharply, registering participation peaks comparable to the most euphoric market periods.
A key role in this success was played by the Boost Holder mechanism, which rewards those holding YNG in their wallets. By offering weekly bonus gems based on token holdings, we created a virtuous cycle that tied contest participation directly to token utility—catalysing community interest and strengthening YNG demand.

Q3 posted a highly significant economic performance, driven by effective marketing campaigns and the “The Unbox” and “The Box” contests. These results demonstrate YNG’s concrete ability to create value for the ecosystem. Specifically:

  • Trading volume on the YNG/EUR pair exceeded €17 million, with an additional €2.7 million on decentralised pools.
  • This marks an increase of approximately 8,000% compared to the total trading volume of €250,000 in Q3 2024.

Roadmap: the Young Platform Account and Card are almost here

The Unbox contest was the event that led us to launch the account. With this in mind, we are excited to announce that the next big step in our evolution is imminent: the Young Platform payment account and debit card are about to become a reality.

At this stage, the feature is in its “Family and Friends” phase — a final testing period during which our team and a group of selected users are already using it daily. This phase will end in November, after which the gradual public rollout will begin, with priority access granted to Club members and to the winners of the 2025 prize contests (The Box and The Unbox).

This project fully reflects our philosophy, which places customer satisfaction and protection at the forefront. We chose a different path from the more speculative approaches seen in our industry. Recent events—liquidations totalling $19 billion—demonstrate the risks of a system based on extreme leverage.
Our goal is not to offer tools that promise rapid riches, but to guide users toward mindful, sustainable investment. We believe investing should be a “near‑zero effort” activity, integrated into everyday life. The account and card are instruments through which we turn that vision into reality.

MiCA: our path toward full compliance

Q3 was also pivotal from a regulatory standpoint, with significant advances in our alignment with the new European crypto‑asset regulatory framework (MiCA). We reaffirm our full commitment to operate in full compliance—this regulation represents a fundamental step toward transparency and investor protection across Europe.

Although we had long since initiated all the necessary activities to comply, with the goal of submitting the final application by the deadline of June 31st, 2025, an extension of the previous term made it impossible for us to meet that date.

In any case, we are ready to obtain authorization from the Supervisory Authority by the new deadline: December 30th, 2025. Thanks to a transitional regime under Italian law, we are authorised to continue providing our services without interruption, ensuring an orderly transition into the new system. For our users, this means there will be no immediate impact—you can continue using the platform just as you always have, without any action required on your part. Functionality, services and contract terms will remain unchanged during this period.

Our legal and compliance team is already working to ensure every aspect of our operations meets the highest standards demanded by MiCA. We will maintain an open and transparent dialogue and commit to regular updates on our progress. This path is not just a regulatory obligation—it’s a reaffirmation of our responsibility to build a crypto ecosystem that is ever more secure and trustworthy.

Strategic events and the future of Young Group

Last but not least, Q3 saw the official launch of Young Group—a strategic evolution celebrated at an exclusive event on 19 September in the prestigious Palazzo Mezzanotte (home of Borsa Italiana). On this occasion, we unveiled our transition from an exchange to a financial Super App: an integrated ecosystem that will offer trading on decentralised exchanges (DEX), collateralised loans, a debit card and payment account, and the integration of perpetual futures, stocks, and ETFs. A pillar of this strategy is Fleap S.p.A., a platform authorised by CONSOB for real‑asset tokenisation, positioning us at the centre of the European digital finance arena. Our co‑CEO, Andrea Ferrero, emphasised how this evolution represents the next step in our mission. After making Bitcoin safe and accessible five years ago, our current objective is to integrate the entire on‑chain economy into our app.

Our presence has not stopped there. We were key participants in Italian Tech Week—Italy’s premier tech event—where we organised the “Crypto Night” and presented our vision to more than 1,500 innovators and tech‑enthusiasts. We have also taken our strategy global: in late October, our Chairman, Nicolas Bertrand, will bring the Young Group model to the stage at Blockchain Life 2025 in Dubai—one of the world’s leading crypto events. His philosophy, at the heart of our strategy, is clear: success in fintech comes not just from technology, but from a perfect balance of regulation, accessibility and trust. While others obsess over hash‑rate optimisation, our obsession is optimising “trust‑flow”—that stream of trust which allows millions of people to approach this world safely, translating the complexity of blockchain into a human experience.

The third quarter of 2025 has demonstrated the strength of our vision and the exponential capacity of our ecosystem. Market validation, the launch of Young Group and a more concrete product roadmap are outcomes of a strategic journey built on solid foundations and a strong community.

But what you have read so far is only the visible part of this acceleration.

We have chosen to reserve the most strategic analyses and sensitive data exclusively for our Club members—they are the true protagonists of our ecosystem and deserve an unprecedented level of transparency regarding the decisions that will shape its future.

Young Platform Pro gets an upgrade: here’s what’s new

Young Platform Pro gets an upgrade: here's what's new

Young Platform Pro is now even more “Pro”: with this latest update, we’ve introduced features explicitly tailored for professional traders. Discover what’s new.

At Young Platform, we’re committed to supporting the needs of advanced traders. That’s why we’ve redesigned the architecture of Young Platform Pro, introducing new features aimed at providing a complete and efficient trading experience. This isn’t just a cosmetic update—it’s a fundamental reimagining of the platform, placing the priorities of professional crypto traders at the very centre.

The importance of high-performance tools

Just as a surgeon achieves better precision and reduces risk with cutting-edge instruments, a trader operates more effectively and nimbly with a modern, high-performance platform. Maximum responsiveness, granular control, and uninterrupted operation are the cornerstones of the latest Young Platform Pro update. Let’s dive into the new features.

An interface designed for performance

The interface isn’t just an accessory—it’s a critical part of any trading strategy. It must be functional, easy to read, and optimised for all kinds of sessions, especially high-intensity ones. With the latest update:

  • Enhanced accessibility: Major improvements have been made in keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility, making the platform more inclusive and professional.
  • Improved visual comfort: The colour palette has been redesigned to ensure high contrast and adhere to WCAG standards, based on the four POUR principles (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust). This helps reduce visual fatigue, especially during night sessions.
  • Optimised desktop design: The interface now makes better use of modern monitor form factors, increasing information density and minimising wasted space.

Customizable and synced setup across all devices

Experienced traders need to be able to switch between devices without skipping a beat. Consistency, fluidity, and coherence in the work environment are essential. With Young Platform Pro, you can now:

  • Build a fully customizable layout: Thanks to the new modular tab system, you can create your ideal setup tailored to your specific trading style. Every configuration is saved to your user profile and remains consistent across devices.
  • Sync chart studies to the cloud: Your TradingView analyses—indicators, trend lines, annotations—are no longer locked to a local device. They’re saved and synced in the cloud.
  • Set advanced options for each tab: Every section of your layout can be configured independently, allowing for detailed and precise control of your workspace.
  • View any tab in full screen: Each tab can be expanded to full screen, letting you focus entirely on charts or the order book when needed.

Total control over execution and trading operations

As we mentioned earlier, high-performance tools are essential for a professional trading experience. That’s why the core features of the order panel have been reengineered to deliver greater transparency, speed, and operational safety. Specifically:

  • Operational details always visible: You can now view detailed information on open and closed orders directly within the trading interface.
  • The Order Form has been enhanced:
    • Quick percentage selectors for capital allocation (25%, 50%, etc.).
    • Clearer information on fee calculation and alerts for Limit orders that may execute as Market orders.
    • A detailed order preview, which can be turned off for those who prefer a faster workflow.
  • Improved protection against user errors: A confirmation step has been added when cancelling open orders, helping to prevent accidental actions during high-pressure moments.
  • More flexibility in Market Buy: You can now place market orders using the base currency of the pair (e.g., 0.1 BTC on BTC/EUR), aligning with international platform standards.
  • Advanced tooltips: Every feature is now accompanied by contextual explanations, supporting both experienced traders and those exploring new functionalities.

API v4: optimised performance and speed

We know that automating strategies or building integrations requires instant, reliable data channels. As of March 2025, we’ve rolled out API v4, which reduces latency, enhances stability, and makes everything run more smoothly.

A professional trading experience: even on mobile

We understand that high-level traders keep a constant eye on the market and can’t afford operational interruptions.

With the introduction of mobile responsiveness, you can now enjoy a smooth, consistent, and high-performance experience from your smartphone or tablet. Monitoring, execution, and analysis are always at your fingertips—with no compromises compared to the desktop version.

Lastly—but by no means least—remember that we’ll continue to list new cryptocurrencies on a regular basis: the Young Platform team is constantly working to diversify and expand the range of tradable assets, so we can meet the needs of everyone who has chosen us. All of this is, of course, closely tied to our ongoing work to strengthen and optimise order-book liquidity.

Young Platform Pro has evolved.
It’s now a more mature, high-performance trading environment than ever before.

Discover it today and take your trading to the next level.
