Leading cryptocurrency Dash announces Uphold integration into Dash Wallet

Dash, one of the top 15 cryptocurrencies by market cap, has announced the integration of digital money platform Uphold into the Dash Wallet.

With this integration, Dash Wallet users will be able to onboard an Uphold account and instantly buy and sell Dash from the Dash Wallet itself, eliminating the need to use another app or cryptocurrency exchange for these transactions. This will help create a seamless and enhanced user experience, and allows users to buy and sell Dash easily through the push of a few buttons.

“Integration will allow Dash Wallet users to buy and sell Dash directly from the wallet with Visa and Mastercard, or directly from a bank account in the United States and European Union,” the release said.

Dash and Uphold first teamed up in 2017, when Dash and its instant transaction feature InstantSend were added to Uphold’s digital money platform.

“Uphold has been a tremendous partner for us, providing users with a streamlined option for acquiring Dash. With this wallet integration, users can acquire and use Dash easier than ever,” Ryan Taylor, CEO of Dash Core Group, said, adding that Uphold is an “important partner” in making “the Dash experience one that can be easily accessed by anyone.”

Since its inception in 2015, Uphold has facilitated over $4 billion of transactions, making it easy for users to acquire and transfer both cryptocurrencies and traditional currencies. It also enables conversion to precious metals including silver, gold, platinum, and palladium, and runs an advanced API that can leverage Dash’s upcoming decentralized payments system, Evolution.

“What we like about Dash is its commitment to driving adoption across the Globe with more and more instances of real world use cases involving Dash payments. Uphold’s integration with the Dash Wallet helps increase Dash usability,” Uphold CRO, Robin O’Connell, said. “Now Dash users will have more ways to add funds to the Dash wallet with Uphold which will in turn make it easier to spend with Dash.”

The Uphold feature is currently available on Android wallets, and will soon be available on iPhone.
