Bitstamp Latest News
Like many things in Europe, Bitstamp is an old institution. Old in Europe usually means a 500-year old building or a wall built by the Romans in the BC era. In crypto, old means something from three or four years ago.
Bitstamp is Europe’s longest-standing cryptocurrency exchange. Founded in 2011 by Nejc Kodrič and Damijan Merlak, Bitstamp is, by crypto standards, a historic institution. Seeing as how Bitcoin itself only dates back to 2008, Bitstamp’s introduction only three years later puts it in the rarefied air of crypto veterans.
Don’t come to Bitstamp looking for a huge array of digital assets or trading pairs, because that isn’t what’s on offer there. Instead, Bitstamp is kind of like 2017 era Coinbase, but targeted at Europeans. Rather than flooding its exchange with every crypto under the sun, Bitstamp prioritizes high quality offerings and services, even if they are relatively few.
