Who Are the Bitvavo Founders?

Bitvavo was founded in 2018 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, by three university friends, one of which is CEO Mark Nuvelstijn. At the time, buying, selling and storing digital assets was a challenging, complex and time-consuming process, including challenging fiat on-ramping, inconvenient payment methods, and high and unclear trading fees. To solve these barriers, the founders decided to build their own platform to buy, sell and store crypto which quickly got traction amongst a wider audience. Their goal, since day one, was simple: to make the best crypto trading exchange in Europe.

In 2023 Bitvavo asserted the highest cumulative euro Spot volumes, exceeding €34bn according to data from crypto research firm Kaiko. “We are proud of being the go-to market for EUR spot volumes. In December, Bitvavo secured the largest market share, comprising 50.5% of the total trading volumes. This reflects our position at the forefront of digital asset trading”, said Mark Nuvelstijn, CEO of Bitvavo.
