Uphold expands access to security tokens through broker-dealer acquisition

Uphold, a digital money platform announced today they reached an agreement to acquire New York Stock Exchange member JNK Securities Corp. Concurrently, the Uphold team has filed an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for the approval of the change of ownership and business expansion.

If the application is approved, the extension of the broker-dealer registration will encompass Uphold’s securities and security-token business and expand its compliance footprint, customer base, and service offering.

The acquisition will also offer JNK clients access to all of Uphold’s crypto to fiat trading pairs and assets, introducing the Uphold platform to a new group of institutional investors.

The Uphold team said:

“We have kept a close eye on statements from global regulators regarding virtual currencies and tokens and believe that many crypto assets (particularly ICO tokens) may be treated as securities in some cases. Broker-dealer and ATS coverage is key to protecting our customers and to building a preeminent financial services ecosystem. We are proud to be a compliant financial services company, working with regulators to ensure we provide the most trusted and transparent access to digital financial services worldwide.”

Through this new securities division, Uphold is endeavoring to be able to offer sales and trading of ICO tokens and fractional equities and provide other exchange services, under the oversight of the SEC and FINRA. Additionally, with the acquisition of JNK, Uphold can improve its compliance and regulatory policies and practices.
