The new app also features a ‘commission-free’ pricing model, which means that instead of paying trading fees Uphold users just get an all-inclusive, guaranteed price that includes a spread. The company claims this spread typically ranges between 50 to 100bps (0.5 to 1.0%) on cryptocurrencies, but can sometimes go as low as 40bps (0.4%) depending on individual trading behavior and volumes. This new pricing model is said to be driven by a new trading engine hooked up to triple the number of exchanges it was before, enabling Uphold to secure digital assets at better prices.
