How Does IG's Crypto Offering Compare to Specialised Exchanges?
| Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment, and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong. Take 2 minutes to learn more about the risk involved. [Approved by Archax 16/05/2025] |

Important: We are aware of an issue where iOS users may be unable to view the individual crypto assets in their portfolio. This is a known display issue only — client assets remain secure and unaffected. A resolution has been submitted to the App Store and will be deployed once approved. Please check for updates and install the latest version of the app to resolve the issue once available. |
Security Framework
Uphold's security protocols require client funds to be held in separate accounts from company assets, as mandated by FCA regulations. This ensures that Uphold cannot use client funds for its own purposes, reducing counterparty risk. While this aligns with standard financial practices, some crypto exchanges use cold storage systems and insurance for security.
We encourage you to do your own research before investing.
