Uphold Review
Trade crypto, precious metals, and equities from one wallet. Independent Uphold review: 3.7/5 for crypto.
By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief. Rates last checked September 7, 2026.
Our verdict
Uphold is for people who want crypto, metals and stocks in one wallet: 280+ cryptocurrencies, gold, silver and 50+ U.S. equities, tradable across asset classes in one step. The cost sits in the price. Spread-based pricing runs 2.05% to 3.8% and can be wider than exchanges, which is why it isn't rated higher.
Skip it if you trade often and watch costs, or need advanced charts and order types.
