Uphold lists CCD on their platform, opening it up to users from over 140 countries and enabling access to Concordium’s privacy-preserving blockchain.
As blockchain infrastructure matures, access matters as much as technology. This is why Concordium's collaboration with Uphold represents a significant milestone.
Uphold is one of the world's largest regulated digital asset platforms, serving millions of users across more than 140 countries. By listing CCD, Uphold becomes a major access point for retail and institutional participants seeking compliance-first blockchain infrastructure.
Reaching Even More Regulated Markets
Uphold gives Concordium immediate access to a large, geographically diverse user base spanning the US, UK, EU, and numerous other regulated jurisdictions. Their consumer platform supports over 2.5 million monthly activities, with a total addressable user base exceeding 10 million.
Geographically, this audience is concentrated in regulated markets: 66% in the Americas, 23% in Europe (including a strong UK presence), alongside growing user bases in Asia (6.5%), Oceania (3%), and Africa (1.5%).
Concordium's identity-based architecture fits right into Uphold’s global focus. The network was purpose-built to support accountability and auditability from inception. Uphold's regulated footprint works well with this design, opening doors to users and institutions that require blockchain services without compromising on oversight or consumer protection. The result is a clearer bridge between traditional finance participants and compliance-ready Web3 infrastructure.
Amplified Growth of CCD and the Ecosystem
Uphold's support spanning exchange listings, liquidity provision, and OTC trading significantly improves how participants access CCD.
Retail users gain simpler onboarding through familiar interfaces. Institutions, funds, and corporate treasuries benefit from deeper liquidity and structured entry points. OTC trading allows larger participants to engage without introducing unnecessary market volatility, creating smoother on-ramps not only for capital but also for builders, partners, and ecosystem participants who need predictable access to the network's native asset.
Privacy-Preserving and Institutional-Grade Operations
Beyond trading, Uphold's Digital Asset Services strengthen Concordium's operational foundation with validator support, secure asset handling, and treasury yield management. For institutions evaluating blockchain infrastructure, these operational elements matter as much as throughput or transaction fees. They reduce risk and provide familiar guardrails for teams operating under internal controls and external audits.
By integrating with a platform that already serves regulated institutions, Concordium becomes more practical to adopt as a settlement layer or application base for financial use cases.
Compliance-Readiness Through Identity Architecture
Concordium's on-chain identity layer enables privacy-preserving verification, selective disclosure, and auditability without exposing unnecessary personal data. Uphold's regulated status reinforces this model, allowing users and institutions to access blockchain functionality while remaining aligned with regulatory expectations across jurisdictions.
This combination supports use cases where identity, accountability, and trust are essential: payments, age-gated services, and financial products with auditability built-in.
Simon McLoughlin, CEO of Uphold, said: “Our goal is to offer a complete operational foundation for digital asset projects. By combining validator services, treasury solutions, listings and access to Uphold’s global user base, we help networks drive adoption, diversify holdings and strengthen community engagement.”
A Trust Layer for The Future of Finance
This collaboration reinforces Concordium's positioning as a compliance-first Layer 1 designed for real-world finance. It signals market maturity as Concordium is building infrastructure that institutions, regulators, and enterprises can actually deploy, not optimizing for short-term hype or narrow niches.
Access through a platform like Uphold demonstrates that the network is operationally ready for environments where regulatory frameworks apply and scale matters.
As blockchain adoption shifts toward compliance-ready environments, accessibility and trust become defining factors. This partnership positions Concordium as infrastructure that connects digital assets with the systems and users that already exist, lowering barriers to entry and expanding access to identity-aware blockchain technology at a global scale.
