The purchase, sale and custody of cryptoassets are regulated by the FCA for anti-money laundering purposes but this does not indicate any approval by the FCA of Uphold’s cryptoasset activities.

In providing fiat balances, you are being issued with e-money by Optimus and Uphold is acting as its agent. See specific e-money terms.
