Uphold is a broker that lets you buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrency, precious metals, fiat currencies, and U.S. equities.
What makes Uphold unique is its cross-asset trading. You can trade between any of the assets it offers, meaning you could trade a cryptocurrency for a stock, or a precious metal for a foreign currency.
In addition to trading, Uphold offers several other financial services, including:
- A debit card called the Uphold Card that lets you pay with any of the assets in your account and earn rewards on your spending.
- Instant fee-free payments to friends and family worldwide.
- Receiving payments from an employer in any currency or combination of currencies you want.
- Withdrawals to bank accounts in over 30 countries or to private crypto wallets.
- A staking program to earn rewards on your cryptocurrency balances.
- Integration with Brave, a free browser that allows you to earn Brave Rewards paid in the Basic Attention Token (BAT) cryptocurrency.
