Why this grade

5 criteria · check each one

✓

Regulation

First MiCA CASP licence in the Netherlands, granted by the AFM (June 2025). Note: staking itself is NOT covered by MiCA protections — Bitvavo states this explicitly. Source 1 → Source 2 →
✓

Proof-of-Reserves

Quarterly Merkle-tree proof-of-reserves attested by the independent firm The Network Firm LLP. Covers BTC, ETH, XRP, EUR and other major assets. Source →
✓

Flexible withdrawal

Flex Staking has no lock — unstake or trade anytime. A separate Fixed Staking product locks funds for a chosen term; we publish only flat base rates, never the "up to" ceilings of the fixed products. Source →
✓

Insurance Fund

Bitvavo Account Guarantee reimburses up to EUR 100,000 per account for unauthorized-access incidents (conditions: KYC, authenticator-app 2FA). Not a government deposit scheme. Source →
✓

Track record (2+ years incident-free)

Operating since 2018 with no recorded loss of user funds. Bitvavo covered its 2022 Genesis exposure (~EUR 280M) itself — customers were kept whole. The CEO stepped down in July 2025 amid compliance allegations — a governance flag, not a fund loss. Source 1 → Source 2 →
