Bitwage Launches Support Of Dash Powered By Uphold

At Uphold, we value our members and frequently receive requests for new features and partnerships. We are thrilled to announce that one the most frequently requested offerings, Dash payroll via Bitwage, is now live and available for our members.

The launch of Dash by Bitwage is in addition to the existing support of bitcoin, litecoin, and ethereum. Dash’s trading volume continues to increase as does the demand by the Uphold community to get paid in Dash. With this integration, members can now get paid in Dash via Bitwage and decide if they would like to hold value in Dash, transfer between the 30+ currencies Uphold supports or move to a bank account or external crypto wallet. CNBC recently quoted our CRO, Robin O’Connell in an article highlighting the global adoption of gig economy and remote contractors being paid in cryptocurrency, “The process of paying into that individual’s bank takes time and is super expensive. Cryptocurrencies have become an equalizer for a lot of these individuals.”

Whether you are a consultant working for a company across the globe or in a more traditional role, Bitwage enables anyone to get paid easily in cryptocurrency.
