KuCoin is a solid platform for up-and-coming crypto coins, known as altcoins, and their low trading fees are hard to beat.
However, there's always new platforms coming out offering a different spin on things. One of these such platform is Uphold.
Regardless of why you're testing it out, we're going to show you step by step how to transfer some crypto from KuCoin to Uphold!

Click the button above to download Uphold or sign up via the link here.
First, you'll enter some account credentials - your email and a new password, and your country of residence and citizenship. Then you'll need to read and click agree with Uphold's terms of service, assuming you do agree.
Next, enter your first and last name, the territory where you live, and your birth date. Then you'll choose your account username and Uphold will send you a confirmation email. Open the email to continue signing up.
After that, you'll need to sign up for 2-factor authentication, which Uphold uses for extra security for all its user accounts.
"2FA" works by requiring you to confirm inside of the authenticator app that it's actually you signing into Uphold. Uphold uses the Authy app for 2FA.
You'll have to download Authy and sign up using your phone number (this only takes a second or two).
Finally, when your Uphold account has been fully set up, you'll need to verify your identity.
This process doesn't take long either. You'll need to confirm your current address, and upload a photo of a valid ID like your driver's license, as well as a selfie to verify.
Next, we'll need to find and copy your Uphold wallet address to paste into your KuCoin withdrawal transaction.
You'll need to choose the same Uphold wallet that's associated with the crypto you're going to send over. For example, if you want to send Bitcoin from KuCoin to Uphold you would need to copy your Bitcoin wallet address.
How To Find Your Wallet Address:
With your wallet address copied, we can go into KuCoin and make a withdrawal.
Log into KuCoin, and follow these steps:
KuCoin withdrawals take around 30 minutes to process on average.
You can always look at your withdrawal status on the "Deposit & Withdrawal History" page in KuCoin. Be sure to check the official KuCoin website to consider trading fees before initiating the transfer.
