I’ve been exploring the world of cryptocurrency for a while, but typically struggled to find the best way to convert USD to crypto.
I want a solution that:
- Charges little to no fee for trading USD for crypto, like BTC, LTC, etc.
- Makes funds available immediately for any use, including sending outside of the original service.
And I think I finally found my go-to solution:
Uphold – ‘Anything to Anything’
Trade between cryptocurrencies, precious metals, U.S. equities*, and national currencies in one easy step
I just bought 3.59301766 LTC for $500.00 at the market rate of $139.16. Notice that the product of the LTC quantity and the market price is actually $0.0043 more than I paid, so no fee and favorable rounding.
I immediately transferred half of this Litecoin out to an external wallet for a total fee of just 0.003 LTC, or about $0.417. Not too shabby!
And the whole process was incredibly simple and smooth. In a world where so many apps disappoint, Uphold is a joy.
‘Anything to Anything’
While I’ve used Uphold mostly for buying, selling, and transferring crypto, Uphold describes their service as ‘Anything to Anything.’ That’s because they really do offer a wide range of asset and platform options. As of this posting:
27 National currencies
58 Cryptocurrencies
50 US Stocks
4 Precious Metals
36 Countries with Bank Connectivity
Uphold even offers the Uphold Card, which is their debit card that allows you to pay with the assets in your accounts, like Bitcoin or Gold, while earning 1% cash back and 2% crypto reward. “Spend Bitcoin, earn Bitcoin.”
If you’re not already with Uphold, I hope you’ll check them out, and please use my referral link if you decide to sign up!
