Uphold’s fiat-to-crypto on-ramp Topper
integrates with Ledger, the gold standard in hardware wallets, to
disrupt traditional banking and challenge the exclusivity of
traditional banking services.
Topper, a fiat-to-crypto on-ramp by the global
web3 financial platform Uphold, has announced a
partnership with Ledger, the world leader in
digital asset security for consumers and enterprises. With this
integration, Topper will be the newest onramp within the Ledger
Live app, enabling users to manage over 200 digital assets directly
through Topper and simplifying the process of buying crypto
securely within the app.
Since their launch in 2014, Ledger has sold 7 million devices
and is widely regarded as the most trusted name in the crypto
space. Supported by the Ledger Live app, which allows users to
monitor, lend, stake, buy, and sell crypto, Ledger offers a
comprehensive and secure platform for managing digital
assets.
Uphold is the most compliant by uniquely routing orders across
30 trading venues for optimal execution and superior liquidity,
maintaining 100% reserved assets without lending them out, and
leading radical transparency by publishing its assets and
liabilities every 30 seconds on a public website.
This partnership signals the industry's larger trend towards
financial innovation, which is reshaping how people interact with
money and financial services by offering more accessible, flexible,
and secure alternatives to traditional banking.
Further aligning with Uphold’s mission to offer modern
alternatives to traditional banking, just last year, Uphold
launched Vault: an assisted self-custody wallet, combining the
convenience of centralized financial applications with the security
of self-custody, while also offering a key replacement feature to
reduce the risk of irrecoverable fund loss.
"Ledger is the gold standard hardware crypto wallet in
ease of use, flexibility, and security has set it apart in the
crypto space,” said Robin O'Connell, CEO of Uphold Enterprise.
“We’re extremely proud to integrate Topper with Ledger Live,
combining our commitment to innovation with Ledger’s renowned
reputation to offer users a seamless and secure digital asset
management experience."
With support for over 5,500 coins and tokens, including NFTs,
Ledger’s integration with Topper within the Ledger Live app further
enhances its reputation as the go-to platform for secure,
compliant, and versatile crypto asset management.
“We are thrilled to bring Topper onboard the Ledger
Live ecosystem, strengthening our commitment enabling unparalleled
ease of use in crypto,” said Jean François Rochet, Executive
Vice-President of Consumer Services at Ledger. “With this
partnership, anyone can make fiat-to-crypto transactions with
convenience and with their private keys tightly secured in their
Ledger devices.”
"We are thrilled to announce our partnership with
Ledger Live, a secure way for our users to purchase a wide range of
digital assets with multiple payment methods. This collaboration
marks a significant step forward in providing seamless and secure
user access globally." — Frankie Picciano, Global Head of Topper
Sales.
