Our take.
UpScale is a young Dubai-branded Web3 prop firm launched in 2025 offering all three challenge formats — 2-step, 1-step, and instant — with fast USDT payouts plus unusual rails like Telegram Stars and bank cards. The feature set is competitive but independent-verification signals are thin: a ~13-month-old domain, only 2 Trustpilot reviews, and Russian hosting infrastructure despite Dubai positioning. Treat as promising but unproven — prefer smaller account sizes.
