Overview
Uphold is a digital money platform founded in 2013 that lets people hold, trade and move between cryptocurrencies, national currencies, precious metals and equities from a single account. Its distinguishing feature is an anything-to-anything trading model, so a user can exchange Bitcoin directly for gold or euros in one step instead of routing through separate markets. Headquartered in New York with operations across Europe and Latin America, the company serves retail customers, offers staking and a debit card, and provides infrastructure to partner platforms through its business API.
