by Prosper

Prosper is a financial technology company that offers a crypto-to-fiat payments solution, with a particular focus on serving institutional clients. Bitstamp is one of the largest and most reputable cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. In this case study, we will discuss our experience working with Bitstamp from an institutional perspective, including how we integrated their platform with our own and the benefits that this partnership has brought to our business and our clients.

Integration Process

Integrating with Bitstamp from an institutional perspective required additional due diligence and security considerations. However, Bitstamp’s robust compliance and security measures made the integration process seamless. Their Institutional Trading platform offered us access to deep liquidity and advanced order types, which was critical in providing our institutional clients with the necessary tools to manage their cryptocurrency trades.

Benefits of Working with Bitstamp

Working with Bitstamp as an institutional client brought numerous benefits to our business. First and foremost, their deep liquidity and advanced order types allowed us to offer our institutional clients a more sophisticated trading experience. This has resulted in increased trading volumes, which has driven revenue growth for our business.

Another benefit of working with Bitstamp is their institutional-grade security measures, which have helped us to build trust with our clients. The Bitstamp platform is regularly audited by independent third-party firms to ensure the highest levels of security and compliance. This has helped us to attract new institutional clients who are looking for a secure and reliable platform to trade cryptocurrencies.

In addition, Bitstamp offers competitive fees for institutional clients, which has helped us to keep our costs low and pass on the savings to our clients. This has made our platform more attractive to price-sensitive institutional clients, which has resulted in increased trading volumes and revenue growth for our business.

Conclusion

Their deep liquidity and advanced order types have allowed us to offer our institutional clients a more sophisticated trading experience, while their institutional-grade security measures have helped us to build trust with our clients. Competitive fees have helped us to keep our costs low and attract price-sensitive institutional clients. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Bitstamp and exploring new ways to grow our business together.
