Why This Listing Matters
Dual-Chain Support in One Platform
Uphold's unique support for both Stellar and Ethereum gives SHx holders unprecedented flexibility. Users can leverage Stellar's ultra-fast, low-cost transactions or Ethereum's robust DeFi ecosystem, all within a single, user-friendly interface.
Strengthening Multi-Chain Interoperability
The listing reinforces Stronghold's commitment to cross-chain functionality. The SHx Bridge, powered by Axelar's secure infrastructure, enables 1:1 movement of SHx between Stellar and Ethereum while maintaining total supply integrity. Uphold provides a critical access point for users navigating this multi-chain ecosystem.
Expanding Access for Retail Users and Developers
Uphold's reach among both retail traders and developers opens new opportunities for builders integrating SHx into tools, products, and DeFi workflows while giving everyday users a straightforward way to buy, hold, and transfer SHx across chains.
Building on Strong Momentum
The Uphold listing follows a period of significant growth for Stronghold, including recognition on the Forbes Fintech 50, ranking on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list, SHx's first U.S. exchange listing on Kraken, and deployment of a 60 billion SHx smart contract escrow to support long-term ecosystem stability.
These milestones reinforce Stronghold's leadership in compliant, enterprise-grade payments infrastructure and its mission to bridge traditional and blockchain-based financial systems.
