A partnership between TAP Network and Uphold wallet will let users spend Bitcoin, gold, or fiat currencies at more than 250,000 top merchants. 

The multi-asset purchasing ability is part of Uphold’s offering. Wallet users have access to 27 national currencies, 30 cryptocurrencies, six stablecoins, and four precious metals. It is thanks to TAP Network that these units of account are now spendable throughout the world. 

Any holdings can be converted into redeemable rewards through the TAP Network. This could be a Nike gift card, credit on Amazon, or a premium Spotify account. The rewards can also be held digitally or used at relevant points of sale. 

Robin O’Connell, CRO of Uphold, said: 

“At Uphold, we are working to bridge old and new money systems, to enable mainstream accessibility and everyday use for digital assets. This partnership is a further extension of that by providing our customers with access to top brands and retailers and the flexibility to make transactions in any currency in their Uphold account.”

The partnership offers the ability to donate to any of TAP Network’s partner charities, including the American Cancer Society, Red Cross, and frontline workers tackling COVID-19. It doesn’t matter if the donation is in gold, Bitcoin, or Euros, Uphold facilitates the seamless transfer of all value. 

The CEO and co-founder of TAP Network, Lin Dai, said:

“We are excited to partner with Uphold, and connect millions of users globally to the TAP Network marketplace of top brands and merchants. The dream of using any digital or world currencies frictionless with retailers online or offline is one step closer to reality.”

Both companies have a mutual partnership with the privacy-centric crypto browser, Brave, too. 

To claim the Basic Attention Tokens (BAT), users earn when surfing the web, they must first set up an Uphold wallet. A similar partnership with TAP Network allows US-based Brave users to redeem their BAT tokens for gift cards with top retailers like Starbucks and American Airlines.
