Hey everyone! Below, I’ve rounded up thhottest updates from September 2025, focusing on their latest partnerships, collabs, sponsorships, and events—especially their big push into Asia. I’ve included clickable links to the original posts and news so you can check them out yourself. Let’s dive in!
The Big Partnership with Uphold: Unlocking Institutional Power
The biggest news this month dropped on September 8: Stronghold announced a major partnership with Uphold, a digital asset platform with over 10 million users, $9 billion in assets under custody, and $53 billion in transactions handled. Read the full announcement here
This isn’t just a retail listing. Uphold’s institutional customers can now access $SHx for CeFi (centralized finance), DeFi (decentralized finance), and OTC (over-the-counter) markets.
Why’s this a big deal? It boosts $SHX’s visibility and liquidity, letting big players use StrongholdNET (their payment network) for things like fast settlements. The community is hyped—one X user called it a “historic milestone” for trust and growth see the buzz here. This could drive more on-chain activity and steady demand for $SHX, beyond just price pumps.
There’s also a clarified collaboration with Ripple, announced around September 15, where $SHx supports dollar tokenization alongside Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, expanding institutional reach.
This fits Stronghold’s focus on regulated payments and makes $SHx a key player in bridging crypto with traditional finance.
Sponsorships and Events: Asia Takes Center Stage at Korea Blockchain Week
Stronghold is showing up big time, especially in Asia, with a major presence at Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) 2025, Asia’s top crypto event with over 20,000 attendees. Event details https://koreablockchainweek.com/
On September 15, they announced sponsorships and launched a new regional account, @strongholdkorea, marking their “global expansion” kickoff

Here’s what they’re doing:
- Sponsoring XRP Seoul 2025: This is a huge XRP and Web3 conference during KBW. Stronghold’s CEO, Tammy Camp, spoke on a panel about “The Future of Digital Asset Treasury” with global finance experts.

Since $SHx runs on the Stellar network (similar to XRP’s), this is a perfect fit.
- Overall KBW Sponsorship: They’re backing the main KBW event and #CryptoBazaar, a marketplace for blockchain projects

By September 21, the team was live in Seoul, sharing Day 2 updates with snacks and vibes at an Xangle-hosted session
Korea is a crypto hotspot with monthly trading volumes hitting $100 billion on exchanges like Upbit. Stronghold’s move here, following a Japan AMA in August, shows a smart Asia strategy. One analyst noted it reduces “friction” for local adoption by leveraging familiar networks like XRP/Stellar.

These events have already sparked 764 new trustlines and 420 funded wallets in just 8 days.
Earlier in 2025, Stronghold sponsored the SALT Conference in Wyoming (July/August) for fintech-blockchain discussions and Nacha’s Smarter Faster Payments event (April/May) for fraud-fighting panels

But KBW feels like the big momentum driver right now.
Why This Matters for $SHx Holders
These moves are all about real-world use. $SHx powers rewards, fees, and governance in Stronghold’s ecosystem, and now it’s getting more institutional access and attention in Asia.

Their roadmap hints at more, like SWIFT gpi integration by Q4
I’m pumped about Stronghold’s progress—it’s making $SHx useful, not just a speculative coin. What do you think? Drop a comment if you’re part of the #SHxArmy. Follow https://x.com/strongholdpay for live updates, and visit Stronghold’s site for deeper dives.
