Our story
Transparent trading for everyone
Uphold exists so anyone can move value between any two assets with the price shown up front. Founded in 2013 in San Francisco by payments and treasury engineers tired of hidden markups, we built one place to trade without opaque order flow.
Trade 300+ assets across crypto, stocks, metals and currencies.
Anything-to-anything means sell gold, buy bitcoin, hold dollars, all in one step. Every quarter we publish reserve reports proving assets are held 1:1.
Spreads from 0.8% on major crypto pairs. Our teams work from San Francisco, Lisbon and Braga.
