Bitstamp, the world’s first and longest-standing cryptocurrency exchange, is looking toward a bullish 2025. They’re just getting started, intent on going global, improving the user experience—and staying ahead of regulators. The exchange is well-known for its security and mature industry approach. It aims to continue its integration with Robinhood, grow its product suite, and increase its regulatory footprint.
Jean-Baptiste Graftieaux, CEO of Bitstamp, recently discussed these strategic priorities in an exclusive interview with The Cryptonomist. Graftieaux highlighted Bitstamp’s commitment to delivering safe and open access to crypto. That mission has been at the heart of the exchange since it began in 2011.
What sets Bitstamp apart from the other exchanges is their continued focus as a sector leader in security and compliance. The exchange recently added its 50th license and registration with financial regulators worldwide. This accomplishment further exemplifies the port’s dedication to conducting business within a strong regulatory environment. As a result, Bitstamp is the only crypto exchange to receive seven consecutive AA ratings—the highest grade awarded—on CC Data’s Exchange Benchmark report. This extraordinary achievement underscores their deep dedication to quality.
A major priority for Bitstamp in 2025 is working with its planned integration with Robinhood. This integration makes the full experience of both platforms much more user-friendly. With this expansion, Robinhood users now have access to Bitstamp’s expansive crypto offerings and deep liquidity. For its part, Bitstamp stands to gain from Robinhood’s wide user adoption, increasing the exchange’s global reach and investor accessibility.
Bitstamp is expanding its product offering to meet the growing demand for crypto assets. They’re connecting with Robinhood to enhance their product even more, to lead as groundbreaking. The exchange can’t wait to roll out these new offerings in the coming months! They are passionate about providing their users the greatest and most diverse range of investment opportunities, all within a safe and transparent trading ecosystem.
With over five million registered users, Bitstamp is the most secure and transparent trading venue that has been continuously operating since 2011. Countless institutional clients have selected Bitstamp as their trusted partner to participate in the crypto markets. Its proven track record and mature approach to the industry have solidified its position as a leader in the digital asset space.
The exchange is focused on being proactive with developing compliance standards. Bitstamp has set a positive example by delisting EURT. This decision is in keeping with the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations. Such commitment to compliance has allowed Bitstamp to be one of the oldest and still most trusted, reliable platforms for its users.
Bitstamp has forged strategic alliances with major players in the crypto world and the traditional finance space. Partnerships with Circle, Stripe, BBVA as well as Société Générale-FORGE highlight Bitstamp’s drive to bring crypto closer to the traditional financial ecosystem. These partnerships allow for intuitive transactions that close the gap between real world assets and their digital twins.
Graftieaux stressed that Bitstamp is set on regulatory expansion in 2025. You are constantly testing these rules with regulators across the globe. Jointly, you create the groundwork to promote the future of crypto regulation while enforcing a fair market across all players.
Bitstamp’s commitment to security, compliance, and user experience has guided the exchange for the past decade and will continue to lead its success in the future. The cryptocurrency landscape is changing every day. Bitstamp is committed to providing its users with the safest, most reliable, and most innovative platform available anywhere.
