Please note: like most trading venues, we display the current mid-market rates in our price charts. When you trade, you get the current bid or ask price depending on whether you are buying or selling. There is always a slight difference between the mid-market and the current bid or ask prices. This is a natural result of how Exchange order books work.

Digital currencies are very high risk. Do not invest money you can’t afford to lose. Please consider the suitability of crypto for your individual position before trading. Read our risk summary for qualifying crypto assets.

We’re updating Terms and Conditions in the U.S. effective April 14, 2023.

Add and verify a bank account, credit and/or debit card;

Provide additional details, including their residential address and government-issued document and/or social security number; and

We also may require that you provide or verify additional identifying information or to wait some amount of time a transaction before permitting you to use the Uphold platform at all or at any given level.
