About Uphold

Uphold was founded in 2015 and operates from the USA and UK. The platform distinguishes itself from pure crypto exchanges through its multi-asset approach: users can trade and directly convert cryptocurrencies, precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium), and over 27 fiat currencies on a single platform. Uphold is regulated by both the FCA in the UK and FinCEN in the US, creating an above-average level of trust. The platform offers transparent spread-based fees and enables direct conversion between any assets without detour through a base currency – for example, you can swap gold directly into Bitcoin. Uphold's target audience is users seeking a simple and regulated way to trade various asset classes in one app. The platform is intentionally kept simple and does not offer advanced trading features, making it attractive for beginners but less suitable for active traders.
