“By seamlessly coupling customer experience with safety
across geographies, the Bitstamp team has established one of the strongest
reputations across retail and institutional crypto investors.”

Bitstamp Provides Infrastructure for Robinhood
“As the world’s longest running cryptocurrency exchange,
Bitstamp is known as one of the most-trusted and transparent crypto platforms
worldwide,” said JB Graftieaux, CEO of Bitstamp.
“Bringing Bitstamp’s platform and expertise into Robinhood’s
ecosystem will give users an enhanced trading experience with a continuing
commitment to compliance, security, and customer-centricity.”
For over a decade, Bitstamp has served institutional
clients. Its services include crypto-as-a-service, institutional lending, and
staking. It is also recognized for its deep order books and API infrastructure.
Bitstamp Launches UK Ethereum, Cardano Staking
Bitstamp now offers UK
staking for Ethereum (ETH) and Cardano (ADA) via its Bitstamp Earn Staking
service. ETH can be staked directly, while ADA staking is automatic with an
opt-out option.
Following the UK Treasury’s January 2025 ruling excluding
staking from CIS regulations, Bitstamp distributes rewards weekly or monthly.
There are no lock-up periods imposed by Bitstamp, though staking networks may
set their own terms and fees.
