Important
Bitstamp supports spot trading only — futures and margin trading are not available on this exchange.
API keys are tied to a specific sub-account; if you use Bitstamp's sub-account feature, create a dedicated key for each sub-account you intend to trade.
Bitstamp enforces strict KYC and AML verification; institutional accounts require additional documentation before API access is granted.
Rate limits are conservative compared to pure-crypto venues (600 requests per minute for private endpoints) — design polling strategies accordingly.
Withdrawal address whitelisting is enforced; only pre-approved addresses can receive funds, which cannot be changed via API.
