NEW YORK, Jan. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Currency X Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:DCX) ("DCX" or the "Company"), a digital asset treasury management company specializing in cryptocurrency custody and storage infrastructure, today announced the execution of a staking agreement with EdgeAI Foundation (the "Foundation") to stake a portion of its EdgeAI token holdings.

Under the terms of the agreement, DCX will stake over 100 million EdgeAI tokens to a Foundation-designated smart contract for a term of 12 months. The staking arrangement provides for a floating annualized yield of 3.5% to 8%, with rewards distributed in EdgeAI tokens. Upon maturity, staked tokens will automatically be unlocked and returned to DCX unless the parties agree in writing to renew the arrangement.
