On January 28, 2026, privacy-focused Layer-1 blockchain Concordium announced a comprehensive ecosystem partnership with digital infrastructure provider Uphold. The collaboration centers on Uphold's Digital Asset Services offering, which will support Concordium's network operations and market expansion.
The partnership encompasses several key areas: listings, marketing, treasury yield management, and over-the-counter (OTC) trading. A primary outcome is the listing of Concordium's native token, CCD, on the Uphold platform. This integration will enable access to CCD for millions of Uphold customers across more than 140 countries, significantly broadening the token's global reach.
Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki, CEO of Concordium, stated, "Listing CCD on Uphold is yet another milestone for Concordium and its Smart Money ecosystem. It opens access to a blockchain designed for privacy to a global audience, enabling privacy with accountability and verified transactions to scale in the real-world, while keeping user trust and security front and center."
Simon McLoughlin, CEO of Uphold, emphasized the strategic goal: "Our goal is to offer a complete operational foundation for digital asset projects. By combining validator services, treasury solutions, listings and access to Uphold’s global user base, we help networks drive adoption, diversify holdings and strengthen community engagement."
The partnership advances Concordium's "Smart Money" vision, which aims to enable verifiable, confidential transactions with built-in accountability for real-world adoption. For Uphold, integrating with Concordium strengthens its role as a gateway to compliance-first digital identity within the digital asset space.
