Uphold does not publish a maker/taker table. The US, UK, and Europe trading fee is a spread inside the preview price. The schedule updated 21 September 2026 lists BTC and ETH at about 2.05% to 2.2%, and altcoins at about 2.85% to 3.8%. USD and supported USD stablecoins convert at 0% up to a monthly cap.

Tradeoffs

Pros

The spread bands are published, including a 0% band for USD and supported USD stablecoins inside a cap.
The preview price is the price you confirm. Uphold says no extra fee is added between preview and confirm.

Cons

BTC and ETH spreads are an order of magnitude above the order-book entry taker fees in this set.
Trades under $500 can add a smaller-trade fee. The exact trigger list has exceptions.
