Uphold’s fiat-to-crypto on-ramp Topper
integrates with MEW (MyEtherWallet), a household name in the
Ethereum (ETH) community with over three million active monthly
users.
Topper, a fiat-to-crypto on-ramp by the global
web3 financial platform Uphold, announced today the
formation of a partnership with a true veteran in the space
MyEtherWallet (MEW), the original Ethereum
(ETH) wallet, to enhance ETH blockchain engagement and offer MEW
users a seamless way to transact with a wide range of assets.
This partnership marks a major milestone for Topper, as it
integrates with MEW, the highly respected self-custody ETH wallet.
Founded in 2015, MEW serves as a trusted gateway for millions of
users to engage with the ETH ecosystem, offering a stable,
open-source platform that ensures users maintain full control over
their keys and assets.
By integrating with platforms like MEW, Topper enables users to
quickly and safely buy ETH and ERC-20 tokens, helping bridge the
gap between traditional financial systems and the cryptocurrency
ecosystem. Additionally, Topper will enhance crypto accessibility
for MEW’s extensive user base by optimizing transaction approval
processes, improving payment success rates, and driving revenue
growth. This improvement in transaction success rates will make it
easier for users to purchase cryptocurrencies, further solidifying
Topper as a reliable fiat on-ramp in the blockchain industry.
“This collaboration with MyEtherWallet underscores the
compelling revolution in financial services,” said Robin O'Connell,
CEO of Enterprise at Uphold. “By joining forces with a prominent
name in the Ethereum space, Topper is advancing its efforts to make
financial transactions more accessible and user-centric. This
partnership is a testament to Topper’s commitment to driving
innovation and improving the overall financial experience for
users."
The partnership with MEW aligns with Topper's mission to
simplify and provide greater access to cryptocurrencies through its
easy-to-implement Web3 payment solution, offering higher approval
rates and support for a wider range of digital assets. As part of
Uphold which serves over 184 countries and supports 200+ currencies
and commodities, Topper leverages Uphold’s extensive experience in
powering over $4 billion in transactions since 2015.
“Over the years, MyEtherWallet has always been
committed to making self-custody of crypto easier,” said Kosala
Hemachandra, CEO and Founder of MyEtherWallet. “Offering a good
range of reliable, secure, and transparent onrampers right in the
wallet is a big part of that, and with Topper we are adding one of
the best. As a fellow OG in the web3 space, I know we can trust
Uphold to provide our users with a great onboarding
service."
