If you’re a European resident with an Uphold Digital Assets Europe account, Deposits and Receives of both Crypto and fiat will be temporarily paused from 1 July 2026 while we complete our MiCAR licensing process. This page explains how these temporary changes may affect you.
Who does this affect?
This applies to customers using an Uphold Digital Assets Europe account. If you're not an Uphold Digital Assets Europe customer, this doesn't affect you.
Why can't I make deposits or buy certain digital assets from 1 July 2026?
Uphold remains fully engaged with its regulator in Europe to progress its MiCAR application. Whilst those discussions are ongoing, they will not be concluded by the above date.
As a result, there will be a temporary disruption to some of our services while we complete the licensing process.
What can I still do?
- Hold your digital assets securely in custody
- Withdraw funds and digital assets.
Is my money safe?
Yes. Your assets remain securely held in custody. This is a pause on specific services, not a change to how your funds are protected. You can withdraw them at any time.
How long will this last?
We hope this to be short-term. Uphold remains fully engaged with its regulator in Europe to progress its MiCAR application. We'll notify you the moment full services are restored.
What is MiCAR?
MiCAR (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) is new EU-wide regulation for crypto firms. It comes into full effect on 1 July 2026.
Will I be notified when services are back to normal?
Yes. We'll let you know as soon as deposits and purchases are available again.
