Bitstamp code termination

As of Monday, 17th of June 2013, 0:00 GMT, Bitstamp will cease to offer its Bitstamp Code feature. All codes active at that time will be redeemed back to their issuing accounts.

The termination of the Bitstamp Code feature is the result of a successful implementation of Ripple, which replaced and improved its functionality.

Partnered services, which relied on our Bitstamp Code feature to operate, will be able to swiftly replace it through the use of our API and Ripple.
