Digital Ascension Group (DAG), the parent company to Digital Wealth Partners, a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) specializing in digital and alternative assets, has chosen Uphold to power its new digital asset platform for high-net-worth individuals. 

Regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Digital Wealth Partners is one of the largest crypto-focused RIAs in the US, with nearly $1 billion assets under management (AUM) and 2,500+ clients. Through this engagement, DAG will leverage Uphold Enterprise, a platform that uses APIs to help financial institutions and businesses to centralize digital asset workflows.

Following the integration, DAG is operating on a unified platform to manage its on-chain requirements. The company stated that the transition has contributed to more streamlined operations, cost efficiencies, and improvements in the overall client experience.

For end users, the partnership will make DAG’s new digital asset portal easier to use and more consistent. Uphold Enterprise integrates seamlessly into DAG’s existing systems and supports a fully DAG-branded experience.

Robin O’Connell, CEO of Uphold Enterprise comments: “This deal shows that digital assets are moving into a growing number of regulated parts of the financial system. Demand for high-quality crypto services is no longer limited to retail investors, as banks, credit unions, RIAs, high-net-worth individuals and other institutions now start to participate. We’re approaching an important tipping point for the uptake of on-chain assets.”

“Uphold simplifies our infrastructure by bringing our systems onto a single platform,” explains Erin Friez, CEO of Digital Ascension Group. “Along with its expertise around XRP and its reach into the XRP community, both of which are key to our offering, Uphold provides a good strategic match, and is an important partnership that we intend to build on over the long term as uptake of digital assets continues to grow.”
