Upstream, the revolutionary retail trading app for stocks and NFTs powered by Horizon Fintex and MERJ Exchange Limited, is spotlighted in a recent Medium blog comparing the new retail trading app with traditional trading apps. The blog is designed to explore the future of capital markets as the new platform challenges more traditional trading approaches and references Upstreamโs latest episode of its Twitter Space series, โUpstream Up Close.โ The series includes 10ยญโ to 15-minute conversations with key Upstream officials who discuss NFTs, blockchain, and trading on Upstream.
The ninth episode put Upstream head-to-head against traditional trading apps. During this episode, Upstream head of marketing Vanessa and client success manager Amanda were joined by Anastasia and Fernanda, both digital marketing specialists. The group discussed the key differences between Upstream and other trading apps including the impact those distinctions could have on capital markets. Some of the challenges include it being cumbersome for retail investors outside the United States to purchase listed securities in the United States and Canada and the significant fees assessed by the exchanges that do allow it. In contrast, Upstream offers a user-friendly trading app that allows non-U.S. users to deposit and buy company shares directly and in a streamlined process.
Because Upstream is a global trading app it provides direct access to the market, without requiring any intermediaries. Many platforms promote 0% trading fees, but this doesnโt paint the full picture. โAnother key differentiator is Upstreamโs public, on chain orderbooks, which offer transparency and real-time settlement, providing a fair and honest trading community,โ the blog noted. โAdditionally, we enforce a no-short-selling policy through smart contracts, ensuring a level playing field for all participants. Upstreamโs smart-contract technology also allows for the acceptance of digital currency in the form of USDC stablecoin. This feature streamlines on/off ramps for both digital currency and USD holders. All Upstream USD accounts are also FDIC-insured up to $250,000. Additionally, our noncustodial approach works to give investors greater control over their assets. Unlike custodial platforms, Upstream users retain direct control of their securities and NFTs in their digital wallets/accounts, with transactions secured through biometrics.โ
