Uphold Launches Vault Inheritance for Bitcoin, XRP, and Hedera Holders

Uphold launches Vault Inheritance, enabling beneficiaries to claim BTC, XRP, and Hedera (HBAR) assets after the owner’s death. The feature, available to Vault users for $19.99/month, requires beneficiaries to set up Uphold accounts and undergo compliance verification before transfer. Launch addresses a crypto estate-planning gap, noting billions in crypto could be lost in dead wallets. The move aligns with a growing self-custody trend and other providers expanding inheritance solutions.
