Quick Facts:
- 1⃣ Uphold has announced its integration with the Exactly Protocol, allowing its customers to earn yield or access credit through their crypto holdings.
- 2⃣ The service will be launched in Florida and Latin America in December, with expansion to the greater US in Q1 2026.
- 3⃣ Uphold will support and expand the utility of several cryptocurrencies, including $BTC, $XRP, $ETH, and $USDC.
- 4⃣ Similarly, Bitcoin Hyper will unlock $BTC’s utility to include staking, trading, and interacting with dApps.
Uphold, a fintech company offering on-chain finance solutions, yesterday announced that it will integrate with the Exactly Protocol. This will enable its customers to earn yield or access credit through their cryptocurrencies, such as XRP ($XRP) and Bitcoin ($BTC).
Launching in December, the service will initially be available in Florida and Latin America. Further expansion in the US is planned in Q1 2026.
The service is set to increase the utility of major cryptocurrencies aside from merely being a store of value. This is similar to Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a project that aims to expand $BTC’s utility via its Layer-2 network.
Uphold to Simplify Borrowing vs Traditional Banks
In a post on X, Uphold quoted its CEO, Simon McLoughlin, who says that its integration with the Exactly Protocol will enable customers to borrow against or earn yield on their digital assets, ‘any time, without credit checks, at lower rates than traditional banks.’
Through this service, customers will be able to get more out of their crypto holdings, according to McLoughlin in a statement on Business Insider. That’s because they’ll be able to unlock more value out of their digital assets aside from merely waiting for their value to appreciate.
Uphold will support several digital assets when its service launches in December. These include Circle ($USDC) and Ethereum ($ETH), along with $XRP and $BTC.
Bitcoin Hyper: Unlocking Your Bitcoin’s Potential
Similar to Uphold’s approach to expanding the utility of major cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) will also unlock what your $BTC is capable of.
As it is, a Bitcoin is only good as a store of value. This means that you can’t use it for more advanced applications, such as staking.
Bitcoin Hyper is set to change that when it launches its Layer-2 network. It will employ a canonical bridge that will allow you to send your $BTC from the main Bitcoin network to the L2 and use it for various applications, including staking, trading, and interacting with dApps.
If you think your $BTC is valuable now, imagine how much more valuable it will become when you’re finally able to unlock its true potential.
Plus, the L2 will integrate the Solana Virtual Machine. Doing so will deliver Solana-level speeds and low transaction costs that will be necessary for using your $BTC for more advanced applications.

To get the most out of Bitcoin Hyper, you’ll need to hold its native $HYPER token. While you can use it to pay for transaction fees, it’ll also provide you with additional perks, including governance rights and access to exclusive features on the L2.
For now, you can buy $HYPER tokens via the official Bitcoin Hyper presale page. Each one costs a very affordable $0.013185, which you can also stake to earn rewards set at 47% p.a.
Our guide to buying Bitcoin Hyper provides you with step-by-step instructions on how to get your share of $HYPER tokens.
You can also HODL tokens if you prefer. This is ideal if you want your investment to appreciate further. According to our Bitcoin Hyper price prediction, the token has the potential to go 10x and hit a high of $0.20 by 2026, and even $1.50 by 2030.
You need to hurry, though, as there’s another price increase happening in a few hours. So, if you want to lock in $HYPER’s current price, now is the time.
When you do, you’ll be a part of the growing number of investors supporting the project. To date, the presale has raised over $25.1M, easily making it one of this year’s best crypto presales. That’s proof enough of the buzz the presale has generated since it began.
