Buy/Sell from the platform
Since 2024
Shapeshift is a unique and incredibly popular platform that allows users to trade between cryptocoins and tokens without holding their funds. It is not a wallet and users retain control of their funds. Rates are updated in real time and there are no transaction fees. Trading is quick and easy for the user.
Shapeshift has perhaps one of the simplest user interfaces available. This is one of their primary selling points. The design and logo is attractive and easy to navigate. They do not collect any personal information from users such as name, email, address etc. The information that they do have (wallet address, user name etc.) will be shared with relevant law enforcement upon request.

Shapeshift security levels are exceptionally high. They offer 2FA and a withdrawal white list option.

Also, for withdrawals, users are required to pass an enhanced verification process providing proof of the validity of their identification documents.
Summary:
CEO Erik Voorhees was in the news when ShapeShift was hacked in May 2016. He claimed that things would have been much worse if he had complied with Bitlicense regulations in New York. They have since closed the service in the state of New York since they refuse to meet Bitlicense regulations. Major investors include Earlybird ventures, Lakestar Ventures, Digital Currency Group, and Roger Ver.
