@Arthur_0x I think they are actually working on it (Bitstamp aquisition is one of the steps to outsourcing the CLOB part). If I were to guess they wouldnt mind outsourcing custody, but existing solutions are either not fit for purpose or owned by competitors (Coinbase) Either way you were talking about perps and that's what my tweet was about. Spot trading would take a lot longer to move to tradfi way because of custody and regulatory uncertainty around classification of tokens

@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

Curious. Anyone else have any issues with Verifying an institution account with Bitstamp? I've been going back and forth with support for a month now and they are very slow to respond. As of now, I have cancelled my application as I'm afraid this would be a constant issue.

@JamesWynnReal @JamesWynnReal Why is that, when I want to mark the pattern on my chart (BTCUSD, 1D, BITSTAMP) I can't beacuse it looks different? For example, the period from Oct.16-Nov.10 does not fit the bottom line. Otherwise I support your idea.

@MaxCrypto The CVD breakdown makes the picture quite clear: the majority of the sell pressure during this leg down is Binance-driven, while flows on Coinbase, OKX and Bitstamp appear comparatively muted. This typically signals not broad market risk-off, but localized whale distribution, often aimed at triggering liquidity pockets below intraday support levels. Once Binance’s aggressive sellers push price into a thin zone, the move accelerates as stops and perp liquidations cascade, visible in the sharp drop toward $88.9K. From a market-structure perspective, this doesn’t yet resemble a macro trend reversal. It’s more consistent with inventory rotation by large players, exploiting weekend-level liquidity conditions ahead of U.S. close. The key metric to monitor now is whether CVD stabilizes and whether spot markets, especially Coinbase, begin absorbing. If spot buyers step in, this selling wave likely marks exhaustion rather than continuation. A retest of liquidity around $88.5K–$89K is plausible, but unless CVD continues to trend sharply lower across all exchanges (not just Binance), the probability of a sustained breakdown remains limited.

@Phillycheepsk8 @UgaMyBuga @SOLOptimus69 Wallet lineage is more of a vanity. Uphold, Coinbase, Bitstamp, et. al. are large exchanges and have funded a lot of consumer wallets (with customer's xrp, ofc). We use activation tree to discover exchange hot/cold wallets. Beyond that, its just something that is good to look at.

@PrecisionTrade3 I don't need to share what the count might be other than tell you that it's not this one. you're using Bitstamp which isn't the full data for one...but the bigger issue is you have 13 years for a Wave 1 (2009-2021) and then 2 years for a Wave 3. That just isn't a thing.

@Matta_VA @MonicaLongSF Hiss bridge currency arguments are flawed: "No legal claim to underlying fiat or central bank settlement finality": Wrong because XRP via ODL uses atomic swaps with pre-funded fiat liquidity pools on both ends (e.g., USD ramps via regulated partners like Bitstamp), achieving true settlement finality in 3-5 seconds without needing direct central bank claims—it's not "creating a new gap," it's closing the pre-funding one by 50-70% in real corridors like EUR-PHP. "Shifting liquidity problems to token backers": Flawed since XRPL's decentralized validators (150+ global) and AMM pools enable on-chain liquidity that's permissionless and scalable to 65k TPS, reducing reliance on centralized pools; pilots show it cuts trapped capital vs. SWIFT's nostro/vostro accounts, not just relocates it. "Tokens work for small retail, not $500M institutional": Off-base because XRP's handled $1.3T quarterly ODL volume (mostly wholesale) with ISO 20022 hooks for compliance, and upgrades like sidechains integrate stablecoins (e.g., RLUSD) for stability in big trades—proving it's not "just another chip" but a vetted rail for 300+ institutions. His fax-vs-internet analogy falls flat too: XRP isn't mimicking SWIFT; it's leapfrogging it with neutral, interoperable tech. Classic incumbent shade. Scared man. Very scared.

Your analysis of $BTSE (Bitstamp Token) raises critical red flags that align with common patterns in crypto markets. Let’s dissect the key points and their implications: 1. Exit of Major Funds (FBG, Jump, Big Brain) Why It Matters: Institutional investors like FBG Capital, Jump Trading, and Big Brain Capital are known for their high-conviction, data-driven strategies. Their complete exit from $BTSE suggests: Loss of Confidence: These funds likely assessed the token’s fundamentals (e.g., utility, adoption, governance) and concluded it lacks long-term value. Liquidity Drain: Institutional exits often trigger cascading sell-offs as smaller holders follow, accelerating price decay. Historical Precedent: Similar fund exits preceded collapses in tokens like $FTX, $LUNA, and $FTT, where ecosystem collapse followed institutional disengagement. 2. On-Chain Inactivity Smart Traders & Whales Absent: Smart traders typically build positions during low-liquidity periods to accumulate at discounts. Their absence implies no perceived upside or high risk of further decay. Whale Inactivity: Large holders (whales) usually move tokens on-chain when planning to sell or accumulate. The lack of whale activity suggests no strategic interest in $BTSE. Active Wallets Dwindling: A shrinking number of active wallets indicates user base erosion. This is a death spiral for tokens, as reduced participation leads to lower liquidity, which further deters new users. 3. Liquidity Crisis Thin Trading Volume: Low on-chain volume means high slippage and difficulty exiting positions. In a crisis, this could lead to forced liquidations or impossible exits. Example: If a $1M position in $BTSE is sold, the lack of buyers could cause the price to collapse instantly, resulting in substantial losses. Exchange Operations vs. Token Health: While Bitstamp (the exchange) may remain operational, the token’s ecosystem is decoupled. This is akin to a bank holding company (e.g., JPMorgan) vs. its stock (JPM) — the latter can underperform due to poor governance or market sentiment. 4. Broader Market Context Post-2023 Crypto Winter: The broader market has seen a flight to quality (e.g., $BTC, $ETH), leaving speculative tokens like $BTSE in the dust. $BTSE’s lack of unique utility (e.g., governance rights, staking yields, or integration with Bitstamp’s services) makes it a pure play on Bitstamp’s survival, which is itself under regulatory scrutiny in some regions. Regulatory Risks: Bitstamp’s parent company (Bitstamp N.V.) faces SEC investigations in the U.S. and FCA scrutiny in the UK. Regulatory actions could directly impact $BTSE’s value, even if the exchange remains operational. 5. What This Means for Holders Short-Term Outlook: High Risk of Further Depreciation: Without institutional or retail inflows, $BTSE is likely to trend lower. The token’s value is tied to Bitstamp’s survival, which is itself under pressure. Liquidity Traps: If holders attempt to sell, they may face zero buyers or exploitative market makers (e.g., wash trading bots) that exacerbate slippage. Long-Term Outlook: Scenario 1: Bitstamp pivots to a regulated, token-agnostic model, rendering $BTSE obsolete. Scenario 2: Bitstamp collapses, leading to $BTSE becoming a "zombie token" with no intrinsic value. 6. How to Navigate This For Holders: Exit Gradually: If liquidity exists, consider selling in small increments to avoid price shocks. Monitor Regulatory News: Track Bitstamp’s legal battles and any announcements about $BTSE’s future utility. For Traders: Avoid Shorting: Thin liquidity makes shorting $BTSE risky. A sudden regulatory lifeline for Bitstamp could trigger a short squeeze. Watch for Catalysts: Look for on-chain activity spikes (e.g., whale movements) or Bitstamp’s strategic announcements.
