A better set of stablecoins
UPEUR and UPUSD are fully transparent and collateralized 1-to-1 with U.S. dollars and Euros, held at European and U.S. domiciled, FDIC-insured banks, pays an annual rate of interest of between 2 and 5 percent through Cred, a California licensed lender, that also enables holders to access flexible loans with single-digit rates of interest. The stablecoin is underpinned by reserve management technology developed by Uphold, the world’s most transparent digital money platform, which has handled over $5 billion of transactions and publishes its assets and liabilities in real-time. Users will be able to audit the reserve through a transparency page, the first of its kind, that can reflect the substantiation of underlying assets at any given time.
The UPUSD and UPEUR introduces many of the user safeguards and benefits expected of conventional financial assets, including:
- Safety: fully reserved, built-in loss recovery and optional custody of private keys.
- Inheritability: users may nominate a beneficiary who can “call” the asset on account dormancy.
- Reduced exchange risk: thanks to a “detachable” wallet that permits “self custody” at exchanges.
- Yield: can earn up to five per cent annually on the value of digital holdings.
- Credit: flexible borrowing on competitive terms, secured by the value of digital assets.

A unique platform
The UP Platform allows for an incredible array of new digital assets and services that don’t exist yet in the world of blockchain. Not only will this allow new types of financial products to be be created, but it will also allow for unprecedented features like:
- Recoverability of your Private Key
- Inheritability of your digital assets
- Earning interest on your stored assets
- Versatility in trading
- Democratized access to global credit
Currently, digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum exist on separate blockchain platforms and cannot interact with one another. This results in significant inefficiencies as separate blockchain projects are unable to collaborate in any meaningful way, without complex and often costly work-around solutions. To date, this has greatly hindered innovation in blockchain and the realisation of its vast potential to fundamentally disrupt a wide array of economic, social and industrial sectors. Universal Protocol looks to solve this issue and allow all cryptocurrencies to become accessible on a single network through its various stablecoins and tokens.
Head over to the exchange now to begin trading and interacting with the UP stablecoins. You can get access to unique discounts on Uphold and Cred, and gain access to global credit through unique programs.
