Cryptohopper Review 2026

Cryptohopper runs your bot in the cloud and trades on your exchange account through an API key. Its terms say no crypto can be deposited or withdrawn through a Cryptohopper account, so your coins stay at the exchange. The company says the bot handles more than nine million transactions a month; that is its own figure.

It was founded in 2017 by two Dutch brothers, Ruud and Pim Feltkamp. The operating company is Cryptohopper B.V., registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 70270481 at Hamerstraat 3D in Edam. Its terms are governed by Dutch law, with disputes going to the court of Amsterdam.

Every plan includes trading signals, paper trading, backtesting and the strategy designer. Prices exclude VAT where it applies. A 3-day Explorer trial starts on sign-up, and the terms give a 14-day right to withdraw from a subscription; the pricing page describes this as a refund within two weeks of purchase.

The main bot follows a strategy you build from indicators or buy from the marketplace. Strategy checks run every 10, 5 or 2 minutes depending on the plan. Hero adds AI strategies and an AI designer; the bot still trades only the coins and limits you set.

Cryptohopper published a data breach notice in June 2022. It said attackers used SQL injection against its website API on the night of the 9th to the 10th and obtained names, usernames, emails, encrypted passwords and account dates. It said API keys were not obtained. It cleared all sessions and tokens, told users to change passwords and API keys, and informed the Dutch data protection authority.

We found no documented case of Cryptohopper keys being used for unauthorized trades. Its terms do not describe how API keys are stored, and the homepage makes only general security claims.

The homepage shows an app screenshot with figures such as +300.57% and +8888.88% and does not say what they represent. It also counts more than a million traders using Cryptohopper. Neither is independently verified. Marketplace strategies are sold by third parties, and their backtests can be fitted to the past, so paper trade any purchase before going live.

Cryptohopper suits crypto traders who want a hosted bot they can backtest and paper trade before risking money, and US users who need it to work with Coinbase, Kraken or Binance.US. It suits less well anyone who wants a free plan, or who only needs a simple grid bot, which Pionex offers at no subscription cost.

Cryptohopper is a credible, long-running bot from an identifiable European company, with clear pricing and a refund right. Its 2022 breach did not include API keys by its own account. We would score it higher without the unexplained return figures in its marketing and with a free tier. Use the paper trading account first, and skip the AI tier until a cheaper plan has proved your strategy.
