Bitstamp’s regulated approach earns Forbes recognition

Bitstamp recently solidified its position as a top-tier cryptocurrency exchange, earning recognition in the Forbes Exchange Rankings! We were recognized as one of the top 2 regulated spot exchanges operating globally and ranked sixth overall among all crypto exchanges, including crypto options marketplaces, brokers and assets managers.

Every exchange was evaluated across nine distinct categories, rated on a scale of 1 to 10. These scores were weighted and combined to create a comprehensive ranking that prioritizes transparency, security, regulation, and audit strength.

Bitstamp, for instance, scored a 10 on the regulation, transparency, audit strength, and institutional client (where top points were earned for serving as a reference rate provider to the CME for pricing derivatives) categories. This showcases our continued commitment to getting regulatory approval in every market we enter.
