Track record (2+ years incident-free)
Operating since 2014. In 2019–2020 Uphold promoted Cred's CredEarn product to users; when Cred filed for bankruptcy in November 2020, over 6,000 Uphold customers lost roughly $34M. In April 2026 the New York AG secured a settlement of more than $5M from Uphold for restitution to affected investors. Uphold admitted the AG's factual findings without admitting liability, and its CEO called the AG's characterization "profoundly inaccurate". Source →

Your money, this pair
How much will you earn?
Method: monthly compounding (1 + APR/12)ⁿ, where APR is the exchange's stated rate. The realized 12-month return is slightly higher due to reinvestment. Rates may change. Not financial advice.

How ATOM earns on Uphold
When you deposit ATOM into Uphold's earn product you receive 13.7 % APY as a Earn rate. The platform puts the asset to work and shares the yield — your balance grows without you doing anything.
This is a base rate, not a promotional teaser: it's what an ordinary deposit actually earns. Uphold carries a YieldScope safety grade of C, so weigh the yield against platform risk — a higher rate on a weaker grade is not automatically a better deal.
Rates on ATOM move with lending demand and market conditions. We re-check them daily and keep a history, so you can see whether today's number is unusually high, unusually low, or steady.
