An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Uphold wins on breadth of assets and staking unavailable at major competitors. However, the security system is too aggressive: accounts get blocked without warning for weeks and support goes silent.

What people use it for

Crypto holders with non-standard assets who are willing to accept unpredictable support.

What reviews praise

Wide crypto asset selection and built-in staking in one place attract those who care about variety.

What reviews complain about

The account-blocking algorithm triggers arbitrarily and leaves users without access to their funds for months with no explanation.

What users experience

4 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

The application will hold your money with no basis or reasoning. They will not respond for 6 months timeframe. I lost all my liquidity because of this. Beware! I know an entire community of people who experienced the same thing.

I was hopeful that I would make something out of the investment I made. However that was not the case here. It only took a day for my initial investment to drop! It continued to drop and being a new investor with little to no help, I had no idea what to invest in to being making a profit.

For an old dog like me the app download and set up was a little difficult for me. But, I was able to get it all set up. Uphold has "staking" which I understand other platforms don't do. I also have more crypto choices than other popular platforms. I'm so happy I accidentally picked uphold!

Went to withdraw some much-needed money like I have many times before and what am I hit with when opening the app? A DEMAND for selfie verification. I've used this app for years. FaceID allowed. 2FA setup. Why do I need to provide a selfie now?! And I can't proceed until I do?!
