Animoca-backed Upland’s SPARKLET Token Lists Exclusively on Bitget Launchpool
VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, announced the exclusive listing of Upland’s first-ever tradable token SPARKLET on the Bitget Launchpool.
The one-of-its-kind metaverse project will launch its token generation event (TGE) in collaboration with Bitget, allowing the platform’s users to have priority access for the awaited token. The farming for SPARKLET will start at 13:00 (UTC), on 24th July and end on 1st August 2024. With this, users can stake Bitget Token (BGB) to earn a total prize pool of 7,000,000 SPARKLET tokens. The SPARKLET/USDT pair will be listed on Bitget Spot market, with trading service starting at the same time as Launchpool.
This news comes right after the partnership announcement between Bitget and Upland, which includes building the exchange’s virtual headquarters in the metaverse. As part of this initiative, Bitget has purchased Treasure Island, the last unminted neighborhood in Upland’s San Francisco which houses 888 properties.
Built in 2019, Upland stands as one of the most widely-used web3 platforms, with 30,000+ daily active players, 300,000 unique land owners, and over 6,000,000 NFT sales. Upland has transformed into a Layer 1 metaverse, delivering the foundational infrastructure of an open, immersive web, including identity, liquidity, currency, land, no-code NFT creation, fiat on/off ramps, and governance.
“The initiative directs Upland’s strong stance towards decentralization, allowing Spark holders to trade Sparklet in liquid markets. It also aims to boost Upland’s presence and credibility in the Web3 industry by listing on top-tier exchanges such as Bitget, attracting more users and enhancing the platform’s network effects,” says Dirk Lueth, CEO at Upland.
Spark as the native utility token, fueled all value creation in Upland. It is the resource required for world-building, joint community projects, no-code NFT minting, and “manufacturing” of 3D map NFTs such as cars or decor items and more. The SPARKLET token is one-thousandth of a SPARK. In May 2024, Upland users were airdropped Sparks, which now has been migrated to SPARKLET tokens on Ethereum.
“At Bitget, our support for crypto gems goes beyond a simple listing. We are dedicated to helping promising projects gain more visibility, users, and partners through our Launchpool, Launchpad, and various educational and reward initiatives. Our collaboration with Upland to create a Bitget-themed metaverse is a mutually beneficial and exciting endeavor. We aim to become the top choice for more emerging projects in the future, aiding them in creating a greater real-life impact,” says Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.
The exclusive listing of SPARKLET on Bitget’s launchpool provides its users with early access to Upland’s first-ever tradable token. This also allows Upland’s current users to use their SPARKLET airdrops for further trading on a sophisticated platform such as Bitget. Previously, Bitget’s launchpool listed high potential projects such as Merlin Chain (MERL), Ethena (ENA), ZetaChain (ZETA) and more.
To participate, users can visit SPARKLET launchpool on Bitget, enter preferred staking amount and earn tokens within a few clicks.

Blocks & Headlines: Today in Blockchain (Chainlink Labs, BlackRock, Fidelity, Dynamite Blockchain)
Exploring the Frontlines of Blockchain Innovation and Adoption
The blockchain industry continues to shape the future of finance, governance, and technology. Today’s briefing covers a range of key developments, from Australia’s crypto crackdown to Chainlink Labs’ expansion, Nevada’s innovative blockchain-driven electoral security, and updates on institutional Bitcoin adoption.
Australia’s Crypto Shakeup: A Looming Exodus for Blockchain Startups?
Australia’s blockchain and crypto sectors face a tumultuous period as nearly 30% of the country’s crypto-related businesses are projected to close operations by 2024. This decline follows increased regulatory scrutiny and diminishing investor confidence, as outlined in a report by KPMG.
The tightening regulatory environment has fueled debates about whether these measures protect consumers or hinder innovation. Advocates argue that clear regulations are crucial for building trust and stability in blockchain ecosystems, while critics fear they might stifle entrepreneurial spirit in the country.
This development could serve as a cautionary tale for other nations walking the fine line between fostering innovation and enforcing compliance.

Breaking Down Institutional Bitcoin Adoption
Institutional adoption of Bitcoin is on the rise, marking a significant milestone for blockchain’s integration into mainstream finance. A new report reveals how companies are leveraging Bitcoin as a reserve asset, while financial giants explore Bitcoin-backed investment products to attract both retail and institutional clients.
While adoption is accelerating, barriers remain. Regulatory uncertainty, volatility, and infrastructure gaps hinder broader integration. However, with asset managers like BlackRock and Fidelity increasingly embracing Bitcoin ETFs, institutional interest appears to be solidifying the cryptocurrency’s position as “digital gold.”
This trend signifies blockchain technology’s growing legitimacy in traditional financial systems, offering a pathway for further innovation and integration.

Nevada Implements Blockchain for Election Security
In a pioneering move, Nevada has integrated blockchain technology to enhance electoral security and prevent fraud. This development comes in response to a 2020 incident involving fraudulent electors, with blockchain now being used to verify the authenticity of electoral certificates and records.
The immutable and transparent nature of blockchain ensures tamper-proof data integrity, making it an ideal solution for secure electoral processes. Nevada’s initiative could serve as a model for other states and countries grappling with election integrity issues.
By leveraging blockchain for governance, Nevada showcases how this technology can go beyond finance to address critical societal challenges.
