San Francisco, California, September 26th, 2024, Chainwire – 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.
