5 criteria · check each one
  • ✓

    Regulation

    BISON is a Börse Stuttgart Digital app. Its custodian (Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody, formerly blocknox) and trading counterparty (EUWAX AG) are BaFin-supervised with MiCA CASP licenses. Caveat — the staking service itself is not MiCAR-regulated. Source →

  • ✗

    Proof-of-Reserves

    No public cryptographic Merkle-tree proof-of-reserves. It cites regular independent audits reported to the regulator (BaFin) and ISO 27001, but no public PoR report or auditor name is published. Source →

  • ✗

    Flexible withdrawal

    Staking is marketed as "unstake any time", but the actual unbonding takes 7 to 45 days for ETH and up to 45 days for SOL — native PoS unstaking during which coins can't be withdrawn or traded. Source →

  • ✓

    Insurance Fund

    There is slashing-risk insurance for ETH staking, built with Munich Re and Staking Facilities, plus custodian coverage of stored assets against theft/hacks. Caveat — German deposit insurance covers only EUR balances, not crypto. Source →

  • ✓

    Track record (2+ years incident-free)

    Operating since January 2019 (6+ years), passing 1M active traders in 2026. No public hacks or fund freezes found — only phishing scams using the BISON name, not a platform breach. Source →

Overview

BISON review: what this platform is

BISON is the crypto app of Börse Stuttgart, Germany's second-largest stock exchange, offering insured ETH and SOL staking under BaFin/MiCA supervision. It grades C — one of the more trustworthy regulated venues, held back mainly by the lack of a public proof-of-reserves and slow PoS unstaking.

How Earn works on BISON

BISON stakes ETH (roughly 2–5%) and SOL (roughly 4–8%), floating with network conditions, paid weekly. There's a 27% platform fee on ETH staking rewards, so the net is lower than the gross network rate. Unstaking is native PoS — 7 to 45 days — during which coins can't be sold. No stablecoin or lending yield.

How to start on BISON, step by step

  1. 01Confirm you're in a supported region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland / EEA).
  2. 02Verify with KYC, deposit EUR via SEPA, and buy ETH or SOL.
  3. 03Enable staking, and plan around the 7–45 day unstaking window before you'll need to sell.
Verdict

Should you park money here?

✓ Pros
  • +BaFin-supervised, MiCA CASP custody and trading via Börse Stuttgart
  • +Slashing insurance with Munich Re, plus custodial theft cover
  • +Six-year record, 1M+ traders, no hacks or fund freezes
✕ Cons
  • −No public Merkle-tree proof-of-reserves
  • −PoS unstaking takes 7–45 days; not a flexible exit
  • −Only ETH and SOL; regionally limited (DACH/EEA, no US); staking itself isn't MiCAR-covered
⚖️
Our verdict.BISON is about as regulated as retail crypto staking gets in Europe, with real insurance and a clean record — the safer end of a C grade. The two misses are a missing public proof-of-reserves and genuinely slow unstaking, so it suits buy-and-hold stakers in the DACH region more than anyone who needs quick exits. Not financial advice.
