Uphold Launches New Finance Basket for XRP

Leading American trading platform Uphold has unveiled a new crypto investment basket featuring XRP and other financial-based tokens. 

In a recent post on X, Uphold announced pushing out a new finance basket on its platform featuring six assets, including XRP.

For context, crypto Baskets on is a system that seeks to simplify the challenges of building a robust cryptocurrency portfolio. It cuts the process of navigating through thousands of crypto assets to pick worthy investment instruments.

Essentially, Uphold Baskets equip users with a one-click route for crypto portfolio diversification, containing carefully selected crypto assets within a “basket.” Uphold launched this service in February, categorizing assets in the basket solution based on diverse market sectors.

For instance, the product went live with initial baskets such as the “Big Three,” which contained XRP, Ethereum, and Bitcoin. Now, the exchange has expanded its basket options, establishing one focused on crypto projects with solutions tailored to the finance sector.

This new basket, dubbed “Finance Basket,” encompasses XRP, Stellar (XLM), XDC Network (XDC), Hedera (HBAR), Casper (CSPR), and Adshares (ADS).

Uphold believes that this basket investment process mitigates risks and improves the potential for returns for users.

Other baskets the exchange offered at the February launch include crypto assets under the Future Blockchains and Infrastructure sectors. In the basket for infrastructural crypto tokens, Uphold added Chainlink (LINK), Ethereum (ETH), Quant (QNT), Cosmos (ATOM), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polkadot (DOT).

On the other hand, Solana (SOL), Kaspa (KAS), Aleph Zero (AZERO), Constellation (DAG), and Near (NEAR) featured in the “Future Blockchains” basket.

Uphold has emphasized that the tokens in each basket were vetted by its expert research team. Notably, this simplified crypto portfolio diversification service is open to all Uphold users except those in restricted regions. 

Buying and Selling Tokens In Uphold Baskets

It is worth noting that when using the baskets solution to buy assets, each purchased token appears individually in users’ portfolios. However, Uphold users are to initiate separate transactions for each asset when selling any token they acquired through the baskets.
