Guys what do you think why QAU is not available on Bitstamp, since Merlak is on the team?
I would think the opposite, Quantum Project provides liquidity to Bitstamp and Merlak is the Co-Founder of both, so it totally makes sense to have it traded on Bitstamp.
That said, remember that Ethereum just recently got available on Bitstamp... and Ethereum is a very strong cryptocurrency for a quite a long time (in crypto time).
I think it might be that since Bitstamp is regulated (the 1st exchange to be regulated btw, which is quite amazing) adding new cryptocurrencies to it takes more time.
Also Bitstamp is currently dealing only with BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP, USD & EUR. Not any erc-20 token yet.
It makes sense that they'll make tokens available for trading in the future now that the exchange support ETH, but we don't really know if and when.
Damian Merlak twitted on it "There are so many currencies that have to come first. It is hard to predict the timeline."
