.@UpholdInc is 12 years old today. 🎉 Thank you to all our customers and employees who've loyally stood by us and brought us to where we are today! We have one of the highest Trustpilot ratings in crypto based on 26k reviews, along with an outstanding Glassdoor score; customer and employee advocacy aligning like this is exceptionally rare. Uphold was born in Portugal as a simple idea: that all forms of money and most financial assets are digital information on electronic ledgers and should therefore be as borderless, accessible, instant, fungible, and programmable as a text message. On our birthday, it's a pleasure to be back in Portugal, where it all began and which remains home to ~60% of our team. I'm pictured with founding Fellow Engineers Rui Marinho and Tiago Ribeiro, part of the original team who brought the project to life. Congratulations, gents, on taking an idea and seeing it through to international scale. What an amazing achievement!

Think: exclusive conversations → hands-on insights → beer & pizza → and the kind of networking that actually gets you somewhere ✨ meetup.com/pt-BR/opo-onchain… #OPOnetwork #OPOonchain

2026 advice: - Embarrass yourself more. - Try things before you’re ready. - Ask the “dumb” questions. - Build the weird ideas. Nobody innovates by playing it safe 😎 #OPOnetwork

Our partnership with VastBank & USBC gives retail users USD access across banking & crypto rails, & enterprises an accessible digital dollar. This is a major step toward an open, tokenized financial system. Watch the full video for more insights. youtube.com/watch?v=nimLKy3Q…

The future isn’t coming, it’s already training its next model 👀 We hit @lisbonai_ to learn, connect, and talk about how AI is changing everything, from finance to the way we build, code, and think. We didn’t just sponsor the event, we showed up with our talent crew, shared ideas, and made sure no one left hungry 💚 AI, sunshine, and free lunch: the real trifecta 🤖 #Uphold #UpholdTalent #LisbonAI #FutureOfFinance #AIMeetsFintech #WorkHardPlayHard

Great to join @NYSE Floor Talk to discuss a shift @UpholdInc has long anticipated: blockchain becoming core financial infrastructure. Over the past 9 months, 50 TradFi firms have approached us to explore integration, with many more showing interest. They recognize that integrating blockchain rails, digital assets, and on-chain services is costly and complex. Additionally, I spoke about our partnership with @vastbank, which is bringing FDIC-insured, Reg-E-protected U.S. dollars on-chain ... ... and this is just the start, as we’ll soon bring on-chain borrowing and lending to a global audience together with @ExactlyProtocol. More details in the video.

Last night at OPO.js #11 @oponetwork , our very own Paulo Soares took the stage to talk about something every dev’s thinking about right now: will AI replace us? 💡 Spoiler: it won’t but it’s already changing how we build, create, and think. Paulo dropped insights on how AI is reshaping the developer experience, from integrating AI into legacy systems to building greenfield projects powered by tools like Claude Code. The crowd? Locked in. The energy? Next-level. The future? Definitely smarter 💚 #Uphold #UpholdTalent #OPOjs #FutureOfFinance #AI #TechCommunity #DeveloperLife

When we launched the U.S. Debit Card, our goal was simple: make spending crypto no different than using a traditional cash card. Seeing the @UpholdInc U.S. Card - with up to 6% $XRP back - recognized as "Best Overall" among global crypto cards is a great validation of that vision in action. theblock.co/ratings/best-cry…
