A few major players have not only set benchmarks but have also become the obvious first choice for cryptocurrency traders. Bitstamp, a trusted European crypto exchange, stands out among these leaders. It is known for its longevity, security, and user-friendly platform.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitstamp.net\/\">Bitstamp<\/a> is one of the oldest and well-renowned cryptocurrency exchange platforms in the current market. Though they have taken some major hits in the past few years due to hacks in 2014 and 2015, they have been one of the most easy-to-use, secure, and reliable medium for transactions.<\/p>\n<p>The company came into existence as a European-focused alternative, which accepts payments through credit cards, wires, and even fiat money via the European Union\u2019s SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area). Though digital payments incur a small fee, fiat money deposits were accepted without any extra charge.<\/p>\n<p>Bitstamp has been in the cryptocurrency world longer than many cryptocurrencies itself and they have adjusted and evolved themselves as necessary. Moving ahead, let&#8217;s get a quick glance of Bitstamp platform and weigh in its pros and cons.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brief_History\"><\/span>Brief History<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The Bitstamp exchange was founded in 2011 by Nejc Kodric and Damijan Merlak. It was created as an alternative to Mt. Gox, a Tokyo-based exchange that once handled 70% of Bitcoin transactions.<\/p>\n<p>Mt. Gox was hacked and shut down after losing over 850,000 Bitcoins. Meanwhile, Bitstamp expanded to London and New York. It started in Slovenia and later extended operations to the UK. They also opened an office in Luxembourg around 2016.<\/p>\n<p>It has gained popularity among traders and it aims to provide low-fee transactions and have also been the first fully licensed <a href=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/tips-for-cryptocurrency-trading\/\">exchange platform<\/a> in the world.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interface\"><\/span>Interface<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Overall, the platform is very well designed and offers a very simple trading design. It aids in the analysis by providing detailed graphs and parameters that keep on updating constantly and give meaningful insights like trading volume, lows and highs, and many other trading metrics.<\/p>\n<p>Bitstamp operates on both websites and mobile applications, though a major chunk of their traffic is via the web. Both iOS and Android apps are available; these allow traders to place orders and also facilitates deposits and withdrawals. Traders are also able to create custom software via Bitstamp APIs in order to access and use their accounts.<\/p>\n<p>The website has a very good score and overall rating; however, the mobile application has a lot of room for improvement. Still, users applaud Bitstamp\u2019s simplified buttons that are designed for beginners.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Security\"><\/span>Security<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bitstamp has many security features in place right from the start of the user journey. For starters, two-factor authentication needs to be done along with the user\u2019s password before any user can access their account.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">All digital assets of the exchange are placed into cold storage. AWS (Amazon Web Services) assists in hosting their online assets. However, Bitstamp still keeps users\u2019 private keys. This practice is not highly recommended today, as it poses a security risk.<\/p>\n<p>Bitstamp suffered two back-to-back hacks, losing nearly 19,000 Bitcoins. They denied a ransom demand of 75 Bitcoins. Despite this, the team operates professionally and complies with consumer protection laws and digital asset regulations. Additionally, its US dollar accounts are insured by the FDIC.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customer_Support\"><\/span>Customer Support<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Bitstamp has an extensive FAQ that guides users alongside regular customer support. All steps are clearly explained, and important points help users buy, sell, and get onboard the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Inquiries are handled via email, and they claim to respond within a few hours. They also offer phone support, with offices nearby reachable by call for emergencies or details.<\/p>\n<p>Although Bitstamp provides proper customer support and other helpful features, reviews about their support have been mixed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Currency_Support_and_Fees\"><\/span>Currency Support and Fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Apart from allowing a debit and credit card to <a href=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/how-to-turn-bitcoin-into-usd\/\">buy cryptocurrencies<\/a>, it supports trading between USD and EUR for a variety of cryptocurrencies. Currently, there are 12 market pairs\u00a0that are linked to four of the major and most stable cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Ripple (XRP).<\/p>\n<p>The exchange is available in over 60 countries currently and enjoys a huge popularity among European traders. Bitstamp handles over $700m worth of cryptocurrency trades in a single day with USD trades having over 60% share of the total trading market share.<\/p>\n<p>Coming to Bitstamp fees, it charges users three kinds of fees. Though depositing and withdrawing is free for most of the coins, there are few exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>In case a user wants to withdraw using BitGo Instant, the cost is around 0.1% of the transaction. Similarly, the deposit is free only if users use SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) and it charges 0.05% of the deposit with a minimum of $7.5 in the case of deposits via international wire transfers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bitstamp_Fees_and_Withdrawal_Limits\"><\/span>Bitstamp Fees and Withdrawal Limits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Charges for credit card purchases have different slabs and the higher the amount of purchase, the lower the fees. The withdrawal of funds via a credit card also incur a fee of $10 for amounts lower than $1,000 and 2% otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>It also charges a lot of operational and assistance fees like a dormancy fee, monthly fee, and declined transaction fee. Although users do not have to pay a transactional fee if they withdraw BTC; this makes it easier for them to use altcoins.<\/p>\n<p>Before you proceed on to make any kind of transactions, the best bet will be to get acquainted with all the fees and limits related to them. Though they have a robust and easy-to-reach customer support system, it is best to not \u00a0get into such situations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verification_Process\"><\/span>Verification Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are several EU policies in place that demand exchanges to run proper KYC and verification procedures on their clients. It has been a long practice and even anonymous peer-to-peer (P2P) exchanges have to follow it.<\/p>\n<p>Although there are <a href=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/buy-bitcoin-anonymously\/\">ways to buy cryptocurrencies anonymously<\/a>, for Bitstamp you need to get fully verified. You need to upload your ID and proof of your address on their verification portal.<\/p>\n<p>At times it takes up to a few days to get verified, even though Bitstamp now claims to complete this process within a couple of hours. In case of any anomaly or query, a support ticket can be raised with the support team for the same.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_Review_of_Bitstamp\"><\/span>Public Review of Bitstamp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>People have quite a liking for Bitstamp overall. But since it has been in the industry for a while, traders are looking for some new features and improvement in terms of support and interface.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Traders are enjoying the low trading fees and this especially includes European traders who are benefiting from free deposits of their euros with the help of SEPA. As a trusted European crypto exchange, Bitstamp continues to attract users by offering reliable services tailored to the region. The additional analytical assistance provided by the platform via high-level trading pages also catches the eye of traders.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Bitstamp, fully licensed and insured, has also helped in gaining the trust of the users and that is making it possible for them to survive and expand. Its reputation as a trusted European crypto exchange further reinforces user confidence and loyalty. However, there are a few negative elements that are also getting a bit of hype recently.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of documentation questions the privacy of users and it is also said to be time-consuming. The options for trading is also limited in comparison of Coinbase or Coinmama, both of which support a lot more crypto-pairs for trading purposes.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bitstamp controls nearly 8.61% of the global market currently and sits as the fifth largest exchange in terms of <a href=\"http:\/\/bitcoinity.org\/markets\/list?currency=ALL&amp;span=30d\">trade volume<\/a>. They receive traffic of over 15 million monthly; this is lower than that of both Coinbase and Kraken.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">This exchange is accessible and suitable for almost everyone willing to trade, from intermediate to advanced level traders. Its lower fees for transfers via SEPA have made it popular among European traders.<\/p>\n<p>Though there have been several reports and complaints about downtimes and outages, their customer support responds quickly. It still commands high liquidity and a global client base thanks to a simple UI and low fees.<\/p>\n<p>Bitstamp has been trustworthy and cautious over the years by ensuring security with several features. Two-factor authentication (2FA), insured cold storage, and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) data encryption are some of their best practices.<\/p>\n<p>There is always room for improvement, which is needed to survive in the cut-throat competition. Still, as a trusted European crypto exchange, Bitstamp offers a solid foundation for both new and experienced users. Overall, whether you are a beginner or a hefty trader, watch a few tutorials and set up your Bitstamp account to get real-time experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the boom of cryptocurrency in the market, many exchanges have been fighting\u2014or innovating hard\u2014to get a bigger share of the pie.
