Why choose Bitstamp?

We’ve been around since the early days of the industry, helped develop a number of best practices and earned the trust of over 3 million traders along the way. We were one of the first businesses in the world to provide a Bitcoin market and the first Ripple Gateway.

Our #1 priority is always the safety of our customers’ funds. That’s why we keep 98% of all bitcoins, litecoin, ether, ripple (xrp), Bitcoin Cash and ether in cold storage.

For example: When you buy Bitcoin Cash at Bitstamp, the crypto shows up in your account. But the private keys for your bch are securely stored offline. When you sell Bitcoin Cash, the buyer enjoys the same level of protection.

Responsibility for our products

While other exchanges focus on listing more and more unproven cryptocurrencies, we feel it is our responsibility to only offer crypto trading for projects we believe have proven their value and staying power. So far, this list includes btc, eth, xrp, ltc and bch. You can trade any of them for euros, U.S. dollars or bitcoins.

We are also a Ripple Gateway, so you can do more than just buy Ripple (xrp) at Bitstamp. We issue, allow you to transfer, buy and sell Ripple IOUs.

Low Fees for trades, free crypto transfers

We pride ourselves on providing a fairly priced service. The fees on Bitstamp depend on your monthly trading volume. Fees start at 0.25% and run as low as 0.1% of the value of your trade.

For example: you open an order to buy Ethereum with $1000 at the current market price. You will actually buy eth with $997.5 once fees are paid. When you want to cash out and sell eth, you open an order to sell Ethereum, which will cost you the same fees (or lower if you made enough trades).

Between the buy and sell order, you can transfer ether to a different wallet for free. This is a very rare feature, as most crypto exchanges and wallets will ask you to pay transaction fees to crypto miners. We pay mining fees for you, which allows you to send crypto free of charge.

All of this is available in our app. But to use it, you will need a Bitstamp account. If you don’t have an account, you will be asked to open one first (it’s free and simple!).

If you have any questions or issues, our customer care team will be happy to help you out at support@bitstamp.net.
