Uphold is testing the waters, and if the XRP army rallies behind it, that could give the company the momentum it needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This could also inspire other crypto platforms to make similar moves. If Uphold pulls it off, it might not be the last exchange to go public this year.
