Uphold Offering Commission-Free Cryptocurrency Trading

Uphold has just announced that it will be offering commission-free cryptocurrency trading opportunities for its users.

Uphold is a multi-asset platform that allows users to convert fiat to crypto, and this is a space full of commission fees that make trading incredibly expensive for many enthusiasts, with an industry average of 3.99% per trade. The company’s goal here is to challenge that.

“Our goal is to create the easiest and most cost-effective place for retail investors to buy and sell cryptocurrencies and other assets,’ said J.P. Thieriot, C.E.O. of Uphold, in a press release. “And unlike our competitors, we’re staying true to the fundamental premise of cryptocurrencies: financial self-sovereignty,” they conclude.

There are 30 cryptocurrencies supported on the platform as of this writing, alongside 27 fiat ones and four precious metals. That, and the application is available in over 40 countries, and even added Poland, Romania, Croatia, and more just this January.
