How we make crypto accessible to everyone
Industry-leading security: The protection of customer assets is crucial, and we have been a leader in the industry in security since our founding. All funds and crypto on Bitstamp are backed 100% and ready to be withdrawn at any time. They are stored in separate accounts from our corporate assets. Our commitment to advanced technology helps us maintain the industry-leading reliability standard with 99.9% uptime.
Transparency through internal and external audits: Our financial controls are reviewed annually by external parties and are also subject to regular internal audit reviews. This ensures that our control environment, along with all our procedures, is validated and continuously improved upon. Each year since 2016 Bitstamp has been audited by a big four global accounting firm. Find out more on The Bitstamp Way.
Regulation and compliance – a never-ending process: Bitstamp holds 50 licenses and registrations in key jurisdictions globally, but we are also aware that being regulated is not just a matter of holding a certificate – it is a daily process. In total we have around 180 people, roughly 29% of our staff, working in compliance, regulation, legal, risk management, security, and internal audit functions. They ensure we run things by the book.
