Zopa Bank Partners With Upvest to Launch Investments in the UK

2025/11/20 08:00

Zopa Group PLC, the digital bank pioneer trusted by 1.6 million customers, is today announcing a landmark partnership with Upvest, Europe’s leading investment infrastructure provider.

Designed for the nation’s new generation of first-time investors looking to make their money work harder with peace of mind, the news will see Upvest power Zopa’s investing capabilities, available in General Investment and ISA wrappers.

Zopa Investments are being rolled out in beta to existing customers before becoming available to the wider public in early 2026, initially targeting those 15 million UK adults who hold more than six months’ income in cash but are not yet investing.

The partnership will support millions of UK consumers on their investing journeys, powered by Upvest’s Investment API.

Future updates will introduce a selection of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) as well as user experience additions such as insights and prompts to help customers get the most from the product.

Customers can start investing in minutes with as little as £1 while retaining the flexibility to withdraw and return funds throughout the tax year and maintain their full ISA allowance.

Merve Ferrero, CSO at  Zopa, said: “For far too long, Brits have been sitting on billions of cash — not because they don’t want to invest, but because they don’t know where to start. At Zopa, we’re changing that.

We’re thrilled to be working with Upvest to unlock Investments for millions of UK consumers for the first time. Bringing Investments and Stocks & Shares ISA accounts alongside savings and cash ISAs under one Zopa roof gives our customers more financial control, all within a simple, education-led platform designed to build confidence and peace of mind.”

Symmie Swil, UK General Manager of Upvest, said: “We’re proud to be powering Zopa’s brand new capabilities with Upvest’s Investment API. Our partnership will make investing easy, simple, and trustworthy for Zopa’s 1.6 million customers as it enters its next phase of growth.

“Zopa is a trusted brand empowering people to build wealth and take greater control of their finances, and it sits at the forefront of digital banking innovation. With Upvest’s technology, Zopa is seamlessly integrating investing alongside current accounts, offering customers a holistic view of their finances and meeting them where they are. We’re delighted to partner with Zopa as they expand their offering and make wealth building accessible to a new generation of British investors.”

The integration of Upvest’s industry-leading technology transforms how retail investors move and manage their ISA funds, making internal transfers (between the existing Zopa Cash ISA and new Stocks and Shares ISA) seamless.

In a market built around saving, this capability helps more people start investing while enabling financial institutions to better support long-term wealth building. By also powering seamless external ISA transfers and real-time visibility on transfer statuses, Upvest helps Zopa become a central financial hub, offering a holistic experience across saving and investing and building customers’ confidence in managing and growing their money.

Founded in Berlin in 2017, Upvest is now active in over 20 European markets and has quickly become one the UK’s leading investment infrastructure providers. Upvest processes up to 10 million orders per month (as of October 2025) on behalf of its clients including N26, bunq, Raisin, Santander’s Openbank, DKB, and others. Zopa joins existing clients in the region, including Webull and Revolut, who are leveraging Upvest’s market-leading technology to deliver unparalleled investment offerings in the UK.

XRP Tundra Surpasses 3.7M in Funding — Why This Altcoin Continues To Gain Momentum

The post XRP Tundra Surpasses 3.7M in Funding — Why This Altcoin Continues To Gain Momentum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Momentum around XRP Tundra accelerated this month as the project crossed $3.7 million in presale funding, strengthening its position among the most closely watched early-stage ecosystems connected to the XRP Ledger. The raise comes at a time when analysts are reassessing how utility-driven infrastructure could shape the next market cycle rather than relying solely on short-term sentiment. The conversation has expanded because several XRPL-related developments are expected to mature between late 2025 and early 2026. These include clearer regulatory footing for XRP, continued expansion of ODL settlement corridors, progress toward EVM-compatible execution and increasing interest from large financial institutions exploring XRP-based products. This backdrop has prompted a deeper evaluation of the mechanics driving Tundra’s momentum. Funding Momentum Shows Strong Early Demand for XRPL-Linked DeFi Infrastructure Crossing $3.7 million reflects more than presale performance—it signals investor interest in a project architected to address XRPL’s long-standing absence of a native, revenue-backed DeFi layer. Funding has accelerated consistently through Phase 12, where TUNDRA-S is priced at $0.214 with an 8% token bonus and buyers receive TUNDRA-X at a reference value of $0.107. Coverage from analysts and DeFi commentators, including Crypto Infinity, has highlighted this trend as part of a broader shift toward yield-based systems built on verifiable economic activity. The funding milestone therefore raises a central question: what is driving sustained interest during a period when many early-stage projects struggle to attract capital? The Strategic Thesis Behind Tundra’s Design and Its 2026 Positioning A key element many investors overlook is that XRP Tundra’s architecture was designed for the same window in which major XRPL enhancements and institutional integrations are expected to strengthen. Tundra positions itself as the first ecosystem capable of delivering sustainable, non-custodial yield to XRP holders—an unmet demand within one of the largest and most active communities in crypto.

Ethereum’s peer-to-peer backbone faces open-source funding gap

The post Ethereum’s peer-to-peer backbone faces open-source funding gap appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shipyard, a key maintainer of libp2p — the peer-to-peer networking stack underpinning Ethereum and dozens of other networks — will cease support for its Go and JavaScript implementations by Sept. 30, citing resource constraints.  In a blog post, the team confirmed it is “working to transition stewardship to the community.” Libp2p is the backbone of Ethereum’s peer-to-peer networking layer, providing the protocol suite that consensus clients use to discover peers, exchange messages, and propagate blocks and attestations across the network. Ethereum clients rely on libp2p’s Gossipsub pub/sub protocol to rapidly broadcast new blocks and validator votes, a process that must complete within strict slot deadlines to keep the chain running smoothly. The status quo is “against good engineering practice,” according to MIT professor and Optimum co-founder Muriel Médard, who has developed a drop-in, API-compatible replacement for Gossipsub, called OptimumP2P (mumP2P). “The thing is, if you hardwire something that does not need to be hardwired, you create fragility and dependence,” Médard told Blockworks. Tea Protocol presents one possible answer to funding conundrums such as this, within the open-source software community. Tea is a blockchain-based system that maps open-source dependencies, ranks projects by criticality, and routes token rewards and security bounties to maintainers to ensure long-term, sustainable support, per Tea co-founder Max Howell, creator of Homebrew. While the ecosystems that rely on libp2p are mobilizing around a transition for the software, in the short term there’s a risk of a slowdown in triaging bugs or security issues, amid the loss of Shipyard’s institutional knowledge. “The incentives aren’t really there for open source maintainers to care enough about security,” Howell told Blockworks, noting that, today, open-source software is more than “a public good,” and rather “fundamental infrastructure.” Timothy Lewis, Tea’s co-founder, said libp2p “sits in what we consider the protocol ranking graph —…
