Nubank decided to automatically convert the remaining Nucoin balances into “lucky numbers” by September 30. In practice, this ends the project’s last functional connection with the cryptocurrency market.

Nucoin was created in 2022, launched on Polygon in 2023, and once reached a peak of nearly 1,900%. Then, in September 2024, Nubank stopped buying and selling the token and turned the project into a rewards program.

Customers with at least R$ 100 in Nucoin had until December 2024 to convert their balances into Bitcoin▸ $BTC ▸ or $USDC . Those who didn’t, or had an amount below the minimum, stayed in the program. These are exactly the balances that will now be automatically converted into lucky numbers.

🔥 The point generating discussion is this:
In the announcement, it does not clearly explain how much each Nucoin is worth in this conversion or what the exact ratio is between the old balance and the amount of numbers received.

The new numbers will only be used to enter Nubank’s own raffles. They:
▸ have no exchange rate
▸ cannot be bought or sold
▸ cannot be sent to a personal wallet

That means Nucoin will definitively stop functioning as a tradable digital asset.

👀 This is a huge turning point for a project that started with blockchain, cashback, token freezing, trading within the app, and plans to expand its utility to millions of customers.

Now the question is:
Is Nubank simplifying a program that has lost its meaning as crypto, or have the old users lost an opportunity to choose what to do with their balances?

The digital asset ecosystem has just recorded a significant movement: Nubank has officially discontinued NuCoin trading, converting the remaining balances into 'lucky numbers'. This decision marks the end of one of the most ambitious blockchain-based loyalty experiments in Brazil’s banking sector, highlighting the challenges of reconciling the volatility of digital assets with the stability required by institutional rewards programs.

Technical and Strategic Analysis:
From a market standpoint, the shutdown reflects a shift in stance regarding 'utility tokens' within centralized platforms. The move to a simplified raffle model makes the operation easier for the bank, but it raises questions about users’ perceived value in the asset—especially those who sought liquidity and appreciation. While the global market, led by $BTC and $ETH, continues to consolidate custody infrastructure and institutional adoption, the NuCoin case serves as a case study on the importance of governance and economic sustainability in closed-ecosystem tokens.
