Uphold has expanded its fractional U.S. stock trading offering to more than 4,000 American stocks and exchange-traded funds, letting users move between digital asset trading and equity investing inside the same app. The update broadens a service the platform first introduced in 2020, when it began offering fractional share access. In 2021, Uphold added a regulatory milestone by acquiring broker-dealer JNK Securities, a move that gave it a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, license. According to CryptoBriefing, the latest expansion puts Uphold among a relatively small group of crypto-native platforms that hold the qualifications needed to run compliant securities business lines. The rollout adds to the company’s push to combine crypto and traditional market access under one product experience.
