Why we exist

Crypto is hard tonavigate alone.

Scams, hackers, and working out what's actually sound going it alone on an exchange means carrying all of that yourself. We were built on a simpler idea: everyone deserves a real expert in their corner.

Founder and CEO Jeff Zylstra started UpTrade in 2023 to bring a relationship-led model to crypto, where every client works with a dedicated broker from the very first call.
