San Francisco, California, September 24th, 2024, Chainwire
Uphold’s fiat-to-crypto on-ramp Topper integrates with MEW (MyEtherWallet), a household name in the Ethereum (ETH) community with over three million active monthly users.
Topper, a fiat-to-crypto on-ramp by the global web3 financial platform Uphold, announced today the formation of a partnership with a true veteran in the space MyEtherWallet (MEW), the original Ethereum (ETH) wallet, to enhance ETH blockchain engagement and offer MEW users a seamless way to transact with a wide range of assets.
This partnership marks a major milestone for Topper, as it integrates with MEW, the highly respected self-custody ETH wallet. Founded in 2015, MEW serves as a trusted gateway for millions of users to engage with the ETH ecosystem, offering a stable, open-source platform that ensures users maintain full control over their keys and assets.
By integrating with platforms like MEW, Topper enables users to quickly and safely buy ETH and ERC-20 tokens, helping bridge the gap between traditional financial systems and the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Additionally, Topper will enhance crypto accessibility for MEW’s extensive user base by optimizing transaction approval processes, improving payment success rates, and driving revenue growth. This improvement in transaction success rates will make it easier for users to purchase cryptocurrencies, further solidifying Topper as a reliable fiat on-ramp in the blockchain industry.
“This collaboration with MyEtherWallet underscores the compelling revolution in financial services,” said Robin O’Connell, CEO of Enterprise at Uphold. “By joining forces with a prominent name in the Ethereum space, Topper is advancing its efforts to make financial transactions more accessible and user-centric. This partnership is a testament to Topper’s commitment to driving innovation and improving the overall financial experience for users.”
The partnership with MEW aligns with Topper’s mission to simplify and provide greater access to cryptocurrencies through its easy-to-implement Web3 payment solution, offering higher approval rates and support for a wider range of digital assets. As part of Uphold which serves over 184 countries and supports 200+ currencies and commodities, Topper leverages Uphold’s extensive experience in powering over $4 billion in transactions since 2015.
“Over the years, MyEtherWallet has always been committed to making self-custody of crypto easier,” said Kosala Hemachandra, CEO and Founder of MyEtherWallet. “Offering a good range of reliable, secure, and transparent onrampers right in the wallet is a big part of that, and with Topper we are adding one of the best.
