Uphold is a multi-asset digital money platform and regulated crypto exchange that lets consumers and businesses hold, trade, send and spend more than 300 cryptocurrencies, national currencies and precious metals from a single account. Its Enterprise API Suite ("Move on chain") is a modular set of OpenAPI 3.1 REST APIs — Core, Widgets, Topper, Market Pulse and KYC Connector — that partners embed to onboard and KYC/KYB-verify users, move value across bank rails (ACH, FedNow/RTP, Wire, FPS, SEPA), debit and credit cards, alternative payment methods (Apple Pay, PayPal) and 50+ blockchain networks, and to run buy/sell, trade, send, portfolio, statements and FATF Travel Rule flows. Uphold also runs a public legacy market-data and wallet API at api.uphold.com/v0, publishes embeddable Payment, KYC and Travel Rule widgets, a Svix-backed webhook event surface, a full Sandbox with test helpers, a public Postman workspace, an llms.txt, an A2A agent card and a documentation MCP server.
