Why this grade
- ✓ 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unbonding takes 7 to 45 days for ETH and up to 45 days for SOL — native PoS unstaking during which coins can't be withdrawn or traded.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 →

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