How it is stored

Your Bitstamp holdings sit in the same portfolio as your on-chain wallets, not in a separate tab. Totals, allocation and transaction history cover both at once.

Setup

How to connect Bitstamp

1

Create a read-only key at Bitstamp

Sign in to Bitstamp and create a read-only API key with read permission only. Leave trading and withdrawal permissions switched off.

Create the key at Bitstamp
2

Copy the credential

Bitstamp shows it once. Copy it before you leave the page, because you cannot read it back afterwards.

3

Paste it into Chain Glance

Open the Exchanges page, choose Bitstamp, and paste the credential.

4

Wait for the first sync

Chain Glance reads your balances and walks your history back to the start of the account. Transactions appear while the sync is still running.

Read-only, always. Chain Glance never asks for trading or withdrawal permission on your Bitstamp account, and cannot move anything out of it. Revoke the key at Bitstamp whenever you want and the connection simply stops.

Why Bitstamp needs its own handling

Bitstamp accounts often hold coins the exchange has since delisted. Chain Glance imports the account history around them rather than discarding the whole record, which matters for long-running accounts opened in the early years.

Moving coins off Bitstamp is not a sale

When you withdraw to a wallet you own, Chain Glance recognises the Bitstamp withdrawal and the on-chain deposit as two sides of one transfer. Most trackers record them as a disposal and a fresh purchase, which is not what happened.

Bitstamp questions

What happens to coins Bitstamp has delisted?
The history around them is imported rather than discarded. Long-running Bitstamp accounts often hold something the exchange stopped listing years ago, and dropping those rows would leave a hole in the record.
How far back does Bitstamp history go?
To the start of the account. Bitstamp is one of the older venues still running, so accounts opened in the early years reconstruct in full rather than from a recent cut-off.
Can Chain Glance trade or withdraw from my Bitstamp account?
No. Chain Glance only reads. Create the key with read permission and leave trading and withdrawal switched off. If a key with wider permissions is pasted in, Chain Glance still only ever reads from it.
