URBNED Launches URBN Token on Ethereum Blockchain
In July 2025, URBNED — a UK-registered Web3 digital banking platform — officially launched the URBN token on the Ethereum blockchain, furthering its mission to deliver innovative financial solutions for immigrants and global users.
Tokenomics & Deflationary Mechanism
Total Supply: 80 million URBN tokens
Annual Burn: 4 million tokens, reducing supply until it reaches 60 million
Objective: Enhance scarcity and long-term value through a transparent, deflationary model
This approach is designed to provide sustainability while rewarding early community members and long-term supporters.
Why Ethereum?
URBNED selected Ethereum for its:
Security & Adoption: Trusted by financial institutions globally

The URBN token powers the URBNED ecosystem with multiple use cases:
Cashback Rewards: 0.5% cashback in URBN tokens on remittance transfers
Staking Opportunities: Up to 12% APR depending on lock-in duration
