Regulation

Cryptocurrency exchanges are by their very nature, unregulated businesses. Therefore, Bleutrade is not regulated. It does, however, have a very good reputation. It has enacted rigorous security protocol in order to protect its clients and its founders have a very good reputation in the finance industry.

Reliability

When it comes to reliability of the company, the following metrics are used to judge this:

1. The ability of traders to withdraw their holdings when they need to.
2. Security measures put in place to protect traders’ funds and altcoin holdings.
3. Transparency of trading process: do prices suddenly change without warning when trades are to be executed?

There is not much information about Bleutrade to work with in terms of these three metrics. However, a few review sites featuring the words of actual traders on Bleutrade seem to point at the following:

• There seem to be issues with withdrawals in terms of excessive delays.
• Many purchases of altcoins are not completed at once, thus subjecting some users to unfavorable price fluctuations.
• Customer support is not as responsive as it should be.

However, the deposit process seems to be seamless. For the reasons stated above, it can be said that Bleutrade is not a very reliable platform and a lot needs to be done by the team to address these issues
