Bitstamp vs Uphold
Same kind of product, two profiles. Affiliate status is not how this page is ordered.
On the published entry rate this comparison sorts by, Bitstamp is lower (0.30% maker / 0.40% taker).
Bitstamp
Bitstamp, now branded Bitstamp by Robinhood, publishes a unified spot schedule valid from 9 July 2026. Under $10,000 of 30-day volume the standard pair fee is 0.30% maker and 0.40% taker. Stablecoin and FX pairs are cheaper. This is a different document from Robinhood Crypto's US fee PDF.
0.30% maker / 0.40% taker
Uphold
Uphold does not publish a maker/taker table. The US, UK, and Europe trading fee is a spread inside the preview price. The schedule updated 21 September 2026 lists BTC and ETH at about 2.05% to 2.2%, and altcoins at about 2.85% to 3.8%. USD and supported USD stablecoins convert at 0% up to a monthly cap.
