Digital asset platform Uphold\u00a0<\/strong>announced on Thursday the introduction of free Bitcoin <\/strong>BTC\/USD<\/span> trading for its customers, a move aimed at \u201conboarding\u201d as many people as possible into the digital asset\u00a0platform.<\/a><\/p>\n Uphold customers will now be able to buy and sell Bitcoin free of charge using national currencies such as the U.S. dollar and the euro until further notice.<\/p>\n Also read:\u00a0Benzinga To Give Away $1,000 In ApeCoin: Could You Be The Lucky Winner?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n In addition to the zero-fee promotion, customers also benefit from Uphold\u2019s connection with 28 underlying exchanges, including several Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs), for the best price on the digital asset.<\/p>\n \u201cWe believe that there\u2019s now no better place for people to buy and sell Bitcoin,\u201d said Uphold CEO Simon McLoughlin.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBecause crypto markets remain more inefficient than those for more traditional assets such as equities, the price of Bitcoin<\/a> can still vary by 10-20 bps between trading venues. Uphold\u2019s smart-routing technology is able to capitalize on these opportunities for customers. This, combined with a goal of onboarding as many people as possible, made it an obvious choice to remove trading fees for Bitcoin on our service,\u201d McLoughlin added.<\/p>\n The company stated that this move follows the strong-growth Uphold has achieved following the introduction of an industry-first offer of 0% commissions on all cryptocurrency staking through to Jan.\u00a05, 2023.<\/p>\n Also read:\u00a0EXCLUSIVE: Bitcoin Price Fluctuations Do Not Affect Miners’ Profitability, BitPatagonia CTO Says<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0rafapress<\/a>\u00a0via Shutterstock<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
