  BSCN (@BSCNews) reported 4 minutes ago

  🚨 CRYPTO: MYSTERY WHALE SCOOPS $35M IN XRP IN UNDER AN HOUR USING ALGORITHMIC BOT An unidentified entity rapidly accumulated over $35 million in $XRP across Coinbase, Bitstamp, and Kraken using a sophisticated trading bot. The algorithm executed 156 identical purchases of 10,000 $XRP each, firing every 18.5 seconds for 48 minutes. Coinbase accounted for $23.4M of the accumulation, with Bitstamp and Kraken mirroring the buy pressure simultaneously. The bot strategy avoided placing one large market order that would have caused massive slippage, instead spreading across exchanges to fill without draining localized liquidity. $XRP is currently trading at $1.32, down 2.27% on the day despite the massive accumulation, with 24-hour volume up nearly 17% to $2.5B.

  @Bitstamp You're going exactly against the principles of BITCON. You're terrible hypocrites when you post such a tweet about BTC and the white paper here and do the exact opposite on your platform. You should be ashamed.

  Bitcoin is stuck at 77.3K. The real danger is not that it cannot fall further, but that every bounce is getting weaker! Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC has fallen all the way from the 82.5K high. 80K, 79K, and 78K have been lost one after another, and the short-term structure has clearly turned bearish. Right now, the price is consolidating around 77.3K. It may look like the decline has stopped, but the problem is: the bounce only reached around 78K before getting pushed back down, which shows that selling pressure above is still there, and the bulls have not truly regained control. Next, there are only two key levels to watch: 77K–76.5K: The current defense zone. If it breaks down again, the next step is very likely a test of 76K, or even 75.5K. 78K–78.5K: The threshold for a short-term reversal. Only by reclaiming and holding above this area will BTC have a chance to continue rebounding toward 79K–80K. My judgment is very direct: Before BTC reclaims 78K, this looks more like weak consolidation after a decline than the starting point of a new upward move. The most dangerous market condition is not a sharp drop. It is when every bounce is weaker than the last one. Do you think BTC will reclaim 78K first, or break directly below 76.5K? Follow me. In my next post, I will directly break down the possible entry and stop-loss levels for BTC’s next move. （This is only my personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice.）

  Exchanges like OKX Europe, Bitstamp, or other platforms operating in the EU are the ones that need to apply for: ✅ CASP License (MiCA License) To be licensed, they must meet requirements on: • AML/KYC • Risk management • Customer protection • Asset custody • Trading surveillance • Regulatory reporting This is why Pi's White Paper repeatedly refers to the term: 👉 Admission to Trading Instead of: 👉 Authorization

  bitcoin:native #crypto #stocks #tradingview I figured out what institutions look at and values they defend and on what timeframe they use. It's in my link I have pinned to my profile for free. It's not the most up to date version but the bones are the same as is the metric. Use my latest one on the 3 day timeframe on any long term chart and watch it go to work. Take Bitcoin for example on Bitstamp. Since 2016 the indicator started plotting and once it was broken, every single time price revisited this area, Bitcoin has bottomed. 2016, 2019, 2020, 2022, and it just tapped it today. If we trade around this level for months or mere days it doesn't matter. Downside has peaked, at least what this script has proven for a decade. And you're bearish?

  As an exchange with such a deep and rich history around the XRP Ledger, why doesn't @Bitstamp support the XRPL version of @Ripple's RLUSD?

  I must say - the purchase was on a premium for wonderfi shareholders; the introduction of competition for brokerage products, esp w 0 trading fees, is a net positive for consumers; maybe wonderfi CEO just didn’t want to show up after being abducted, so they used the bitstamp guy. But I just personally definitely had a gut reaction when he said “happy Canada Day” on stream. It also did not help to come at a time where Canada is seeking economic independence from the US, particularly from USD denominated import export demand, and our car manufacturing sector got hammered in Ontario by the current US government’s tariffs on automobiles. I’m clearly nitpicking here, as the team has done excellent work, and I particularly loved Hilary’s section, filled with actual product updates from top to bottom. All in all, I just hope they don’t stream a British officer to announce things for Australia on January 26 in 2027.

  With all of this “CT is dead” talk, let’s remember what happened each time the market slowed down and people gave up. Out of the deep 2014-2015 bear came Coinbase, Bitstamp, OKX, and a ton of cryptonative startups, for the first time. Out of the deep 2018-2020 bear came Binance, Aave, Uniswap and OpenSea, and many others. Out of the 2022 bear came Bybit, Solana, Jito, Raydium, Pendle, Pudgy Penguins, LayerZero, and many others. Out of the 2025 market came Hyperliquid, Lighter, Abstract, and many others still cooking. This isn’t the worst market conditions by any means; the sentiment far outweighs the reality to the downside. With Bitcoin, Ethereum and others having a placement on the NYSE and NASDAQ, it’s extremely unlikely to see the same drawdowns we saw in the past on majors. Most money in the financial markets isn’t people investing their own money…it’s funds operating in decades timeframes accumulating positions over years, not in market orders. It is true that the easy times to rotate are over for now. But the real builders have just begun. And the real capital rotation has just begun.

  @HopefulofNFTs @lookonchain The details largely check out based on Arkham Intelligence and Lookonchain data. The whale accumulated ~154,076 ETH since 2017 at ~$517 avg cost. Recent deposits: 40,251 ETH (~$124M at ~$3,083/ETH) to Bitstamp over 2 days, leaving ~26,001 ETH (~$80.16M). Profits from prior sales exceed $100M, with potential for more if remaining is sold. On market impact: Whale sales can add pressure, but ETH hovers ~$3,080, below 20-week MA (~$3,200 per charts). Thread replies note support at $2,800-$3,000.

  @Degen_dreamer21 @tarsprotocol AI agent marketplace on Solana with NVIDIA and Solana Foundation backing. down 90% from ATH at $0.045 but up 12% last 24h. partnerships are solid (Google Play, Revolut, Bitstamp via Robinhood). tech thesis is AI agents discovering and paying each other on-chain. small $26M mcap means high beta to AI narrative momentum. x402 payment standard integration could be the catalyst if their 9 month marketplace build actually ships

  Bitcoin Crashes Under $70K Triggering $800 Million in Crypto Liquidations While stocks keep smashing records, Bitcoin just decoupled hard to the downside and tagged fresh two-month lows. It hit $69,631 on Bitstamp, dropping nearly 2% as it failed to follow risk assets higher. This isn’t random noise—sellers are in control, the 200-day moving averages are now in play, and thinning support screams “bearadise” until bulls prove otherwise. The US-Iran tension is just the excuse; the real story is broken momentum. Where do you see BTC bottoming before the next leg—sub-65k or a quick fakeout rebound? #Bitcoin #BTC
