How these numbers were read

Fees — Unified Fee Schedule valid from 1 September 2026, lowest tier (30-day volume < $10,000), standard pairs. FX/stablecoin pairs are cheaper (0.06%/0.08%). Derivatives are offered by a separate entity (Bitstamp Financial Services, Slovenia) and are not included here — treated as spot-only. insurance_fund = "market-leading crime insurance" on custodied assets per official blog, not a SAFU-style fund. Users = "over 4.5 million customers" (official blog). listed_coins = 80 from the official blog wording "80+ cryptocurrencies" (global; US site advertises 35+). kyc_required = true per the official blog ("each account has to be verified before it is allowed to trade"). Customer-support page promises 24/7 live support by phone and in-app message but does not name a chat widget, so live_chat_support stays null. Crypto withdrawal fees: the official Fee Schedule (checked 2026-09-23) states a variable fee "disclosed before you confirm the withdrawal" and publishes no figure, and the public currencies API carries no fee field — BTC/USDT withdrawal fees stay undisclosed. Re-verified 2026-10-19 by weekly review in-browser: Unified Fee Schedule "Valid from 15 October 2026", "< $10,000" Standard 0.30% maker / 0.40% taker; the upcoming schedule valid from 21 October 2026 keeps the same Standard tier (adds RLUSD to the USDT stablecoin column). Unchanged.

KYC required — Official Bitstamp blog: "After registering an account, each account has to be verified before it is allowed to trade." Criterion: KYC required to place orders.
