The full power of Uphold — 300+ assets, real-time XRP trading, and institutional-grade security — delivered as a native Windows application built for speed, clarity, and control.
Uphold Desktop is not a browser wrapper. It is a purpose-built Windows application engineered around three principles that matter most to serious traders and XRP holders.
Uphold Desktop is optimised for the full spectrum of Windows hardware — from entry-level laptops to high-performance trading rigs. The app scales intelligently across screen resolutions, GPU capabilities, and processor generations, ensuring a smooth, responsive experience regardless of your setup. Multi-monitor support lets you spread your portfolio dashboard, live charts, and order panel across as many displays as you need.
Crypto fraud is evolving. Uphold Desktop evolves faster. Our proprietary threat-intelligence layer runs continuously in the background, cross-referencing wallet addresses, transaction patterns, and counterparty metadata against a live database of known scam vectors. Suspicious activity triggers real-time alerts before you confirm a transaction — giving you a critical second look when it matters most. Uphold has been a pioneer of radical transparency since 2014, and this feature extends that ethos directly to your security.
Get instant, context-aware answers without ever leaving the app. Uphold's integrated AI assistant understands your account, your portfolio composition, and the current market environment — so when you ask "why is my XRP transfer pending?" or "what are the fees for converting to RLUSD?", you get a precise answer, not a generic FAQ link. Available 24/7, the assistant handles everything from onboarding questions to complex cross-asset trade guidance.
XRP was the most traded asset on Uphold in 2025 — and for good reason. Uphold holds more XRP than any other regulated platform outside of Ripple itself. The desktop app brings that depth of liquidity and XRP-native tooling to your Windows machine.
Uphold Desktop is engineered to run efficiently across a wide range of Windows configurations. Whether you are on a modern workstation or an older laptop, the app adapts to deliver a consistent experience.

Uphold never lends out customer assets. Your holdings are fully backed at all times, and our reserves are published in real time — every 30 seconds — on our transparency page for anyone to verify.
Uphold holds regulatory approvals across the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Latin America. We operate within the rules — so your assets are protected by law, not just by promise.
From multi-factor authentication and device-bound sessions to biometric login and end-to-end encrypted communications, Uphold Desktop applies the same security standards trusted by enterprises and institutions globally.
Uphold's patented trading architecture lets you convert between any two supported assets in a single step — no intermediate conversions, no hidden routing. Trade XRP to gold, USD to ETH, or BTC to EUR with one click.
Over ten million individuals and businesses across 184 countries trust Uphold to hold, trade, and grow their digital assets. In 2025, XRP was the platform's most traded asset — a testament to the depth of the community.
Uphold is an official liquidity partner of Ripple, providing enhanced crypto liquidity capabilities that underpin Ripple's global cross-border payment infrastructure. The partnership reflects the deepest institutional alignment in the XRP ecosystem.
Stop trading in a browser tab. Uphold Desktop gives you a persistent, native environment built for the way serious traders and XRP holders actually work — fast, focused, and always on.
