(PRESS RELEASE – San Francisco, California, September 26, 2024)

Topper, Uphold’s fiat-to-crypto onramp, integrates with Ledger, the gold standard in hardware wallets, to revolutionize traditional banking and challenge the exclusivity of traditional banking services.

Topper, a fiat to crypto conversion platform on-ramp to the global financial platform web3 Defendhas announced a partnership with Ledgera global leader in digital asset security for consumers and businesses. With this integration, Topper will be the new on-ramp within the Ledger Live app, allowing users to manage over 200 digital assets directly through Topper and simplify the process of purchasing cryptocurrencies securely within the app.

Since its launch in 2014, Ledger has sold 7 million devices and is widely regarded as the most trusted name in the cryptocurrency space. Powered by the Ledger Live app, which allows users to monitor, lend, stake, buy and sell cryptocurrencies, 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, keeping assets 100% reserved without lending them out, and leading the way in radical transparency by publishing your assets and liabilities every 30 seconds on a public website.

This partnership reflects the broader industry trend towards financial innovation, which is changing the way people interact with money and financial services by offering more accessible, flexible and secure alternatives to traditional banking.

Further in line with Uphold’s mission to offer modern alternatives to traditional banking, last year Uphold launched Vault: an assisted self-custody wallet that combines the convenience of centralized financial applications with the security of self-custody, while offering a key replacement feature to reduce the risk of irrecoverable loss of funds.

“Ledger is the benchmark cryptocurrency hardware wallet for ease of use, flexibility, and security, setting it apart in the cryptocurrency space,” said Robin O’Connell, CEO of Uphold Enterprise. “We are extremely proud to integrate Topper with Ledger Live, combining our commitment to innovation with Ledger’s renowned reputation for providing users with 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 delighted to bring Topper into the Ledger Live ecosystem, reinforcing our commitment to enabling unparalleled ease of use in the crypto space,” said Jean François Rochet, Executive Vice President of Consumer Services at Ledger. “With this partnership, anyone can transact between fiat and cryptocurrencies with ease and with their private keys perfectly protected on their Ledger devices.”

“We are delighted 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 secure and seamless access for users globally.” — Frankie Picciano, Global Head of Sales at Topper.
