Discover Crypto Better

We are connected to many underlying trading venues, which is how we support such a wide range of cryptoassets and list important new tokens earlier than some other platforms.

Past performance does not indicate future results.

One-step trading

Trade Crypto Better

Uphold is the easiest way to buy and sell cryptocurrency. Unlike any other platform, we let you trade in a single step between any supported asset: no selling to cash and buying again.

Secure Crypto Better

Crypto is only worth holding somewhere you can check. Here is what we publish, and how you can verify it yourself.

visibility

Radical transparency, since 2014

We publish our assets and liabilities for anyone to see, rather than asking you to take our word for it.

lock

Your assets are never lent out

We do not loan customer assets to anyone, and the same public reserves let you check that claim for yourself.

schedule

Updated every 30 seconds

Reserves refresh continuously, so the figure you check is the one that is true now.

FDIC insurance limit on cash swept to the programme banks

Before you sign up

The questions we get asked most, answered with the figures we publish.

Our full fee schedule is published on the Service Fees page, so you can see what a trade costs before you open an account.

No. We do not loan customer assets to anyone, and the reserves we publish let you verify that position rather than trust it.

We publish our assets and liabilities on this site every 30 seconds, so you can compare what we hold against what we owe at any moment.

Cash swept to the programme banks through the cash sweep programme is FDIC insured up to $2,500,000 ($250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account). Funds held in the brokerage account itself are not FDIC insured.

Access to your funds is typically available within seconds. Transfers are monitored and may be held, delayed or blocked where one could result in fraud or another form of financial harm, so occasionally they take longer.

Support can answer account, fee and security questions directly.
