  Bitstamp by Robinhood scored 90.26 and topped CoinDesk's May exchange benchmark after the AA bar moved from 80 to 85. Only six exchanges cleared it, down from eight in November. Been watching "institutional grade" become a moving scoreboard. My bag sees trust with patch notes.

  $BTC Roadmap: This is how PA will evolve. Leg down to 61310 (Bitstamp), then up. The Three White Soldiers pattern created a protected low on D. If price does not bounce off 61310, we will see a drastic low. Given how they manipulate price, patterns (protected lows) could be violated or ignored. $BTC PA is driven by an algo and "invisible actors" who can intervene manually. PA has been pre-programmed months ago. Only news is injected on the fly. #BTC #bitcoin #crypto

  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

  @Bitstamp @BitstampUK @BitstampSupport what is going on with your platform? I was asked for KYC information, no problem, provided. Then asked for information relating to a recent deposit. No problem provided. Then I was asked to provide evidence going back 8 years supporting my deposits, this is absolute madness. My account is blocked. I can’t withdraw my own funds. I have only ever paid in fiat from 1 account, and repaid to that 1 account. There is no reason to block my account. What you are doing is breaching regulations. I have called every day for 4 days, now all my tickets are gone as well. Nobody answering anything.

  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

  Tolga YILMAZ (@ylmaztlga) reported 27 minutes ago

  @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.

  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.

  BTC Lost $73K — Is $70K the Next Stop? In my previous BTC breakdown, I said $72.8K–$73.2K was the key level bulls needed to defend. Now that zone has failed. Looking at the latest Bitstamp daily chart, BTC is trading around $71.8K after getting rejected again from the $81K–$82K resistance zone. This confirms the short-term structure has weakened further. BTC is now forming lower highs, losing key support, and showing little rebound strength. This is no longer just a normal pullback inside a strong uptrend. The market is now entering a more serious downside-risk phase. Here are the 3 levels I’m watching now: 1. $71.5K–$72K — Immediate reaction zone BTC is sitting right on this area. If buyers step in, a short-term bounce toward $73K–$74K is possible. 2. $73K–$75K — Reclaim zone This is now the key upside test. Old support has turned into resistance. If BTC cannot reclaim this zone, sellers remain in control. 3. $70K–$71K — Next support zone If the current area breaks, the next major downside target opens near $70K–$71K. A clean break below $70K could trigger a much deeper correction. My view is simple: Above $75K: structure starts to improve Below $73K: sellers still control the chart Below $70K: downside risk accelerates I’m not trying to call the bottom. I’m watching the levels that confirm the next move. Does BTC bounce here — or is the real flush still ahead? Follow me for more real-time BTC chart breakdowns. Not financial advice.

  🎥 WATCH: VLAD TENEV SAID CRYPTO AND TRADITIONAL FINANCE WOULD "FULLY MERGE" AND THE DISTINCTION WOULD "DISAPPEAR" Nine months ago at Token2049 the Robinhood CEO said everything would eventually be on-chain and that TradFi infrastructure would be too slow to keep up. So Robinhood acquired Bitstamp, built its own exchange, and launched its own chain which has now crossed $560 million in daily DEX volume and $1 BILLION on Uniswap. "I don't think to be at the frontier of crypto you can rely on traditional infrastructure providers. They'll get there eventually, but it'll take a very long time."

  @sminston_with I liked this video. One pointer, though. You said that the bottom in 2015 was because of the block size war. That is an error. The blocksize war culminated in Aug 2017. The final dip in Jan 2015 was partly due to a hack at Bitstamp

  Could Lighter overtake Hyperliquid if all the stars align? Let's say clarity act passes, Robinhood keeps Lighter as its perp engine, 28m users (Americans and EU++) start trading perps on crypto and stocks, what does $lit actually earn from that? After writing this article, debunking a few takes and getting quite deep into the situation, it's more complex than it seems. Best case I could build is $500m - 1b a year vs ~$90M today with assumptions of: - $10b/day volume × 365 = $3.65t/year × 0.5-1bp = $180 - 365M. - $25b/day × 365 = $9.1t/year × 0.5-1bp = $455 - 910m. Hence "$500m-1b best case" (everything is forecast and assumptions so very rough). So it indeed looks juicy, but let's get back to reality. Lighter doesn't charge retail anything, that's their model, they earn from premium accounts (the pros and MMs), around 1bp (DefiLlama fees ÷ volume), while Hyperliquid takes 2-3bps in fees on the same volume. Lighter is the club with free entry for the mass, but the bar makes its money from the VIP tables. Packed club, but the bill only rings on one table, ~1bp realized take vs 2-3bps for hyperliquid that charges everyone at the door. Second problem, and honestly the one that keeps me up on this trade, why would Robinhood let $1B a year walk out the door to another company? They already own Bitstamp, they already own a CFTC-licensed derivatives entity, spent a decade proving they'd rather internalize order flow economics than share them, PFOF is literally their invention, they have the distribution and users. The moment US perps get legal and the prize becomes real, the build vs buy question will be properly analyzed. Vlad advising Lighter and the Ventures stake are nice, but nice wont stop a broker from vertical integration when 9 to 10 figs are on the table. Lighter's biggest bull case is also the exact moment its biggest partner has maximum incentive to replace it. And before the .hl crew celebrate, clarity cuts both ways. Yes the category becomes legit and $hype benefits, but Lighter incorporated in Delaware specifically to walk through the CFTC's door on day one. Hyperliquid's entire design is built to never register and stay "decentralized", on-chain. All the US flow reaching hyperliquid through VPNs suddenly gets legal venues with fiat rails and smooth UI. Will people use it and switch platform? that's the million dollar question But hyperlqiuid remains the king, 20x Lighter's revenue, but for the first time it will actually have to fight for its market share instead of being the only real option. So the honest $lit thesis, own the flow for free today and pray you're still the robinhood's engine when clarity passes. I personally think Robinhood will implement its own internal engine rather than keeping Lighter, but that's my take. It's a patience trade with a betrayal risk attached, but could be one of the most asymmetric there is 🥂

  @Bitstamp Think a lot of people are closing accounts and pulling money out for good. U may see a crash bigger than ever if this 💩 isn’t fixed immediately. Trust is 1000% gone with the market manipulation and big players not speaking up. Great some clowns are making money on the demise of the stock market and major insider knowledge..but it’s close to being a beyond repairable problem.

  For years CEXs were the gatekeeper. On July 1, Europe put a gatekeeper above the gatekeeper. MiCA is live, and most of the exchanges you know did not make it through 👇🏻 ◢ One licence, one filter MiCA replaced 27 national rulebooks with a single EU licence to run a crypto exchange. Win it in one member state and you passport across all 27. Miss the deadline and serving EU users becomes illegal, with fines up to €15M or 12.5% of turnover. There was no extension and no soft landing. One date, one filter, 450 million users on the other side of it. ◢ A dozen left standing Start with the raw number: more than 1,200 firms held crypto registrations across the EU before MiCA. Around 210 converted to a full CASP licence. Of those, only about 14 can actually operate a trading platform. The rest are cleared to custody assets and little else. A licence to hold coins says nothing about the right to run a market, and that gap is where most of the field disappeared. ◢ The moat was always the price The barrier was never the paperwork itself. It was what the paperwork costs. Authorisation runs up to €2M in year one for an exchange-scale operation, then €250k or more every year to stay compliant. For a global exchange that is a rounding error. For a smaller one it is the end. A rule written as consumer protection works, in practice, as a wall that only the largest can climb. The field thins, and the survivors get bigger. ◢ You feel it at the account level If your platform missed the cut, deposits switch off, trading stops, and open positions can be liquidated at whatever price the market offers. Tokens that fail MiCA get pulled, and USDT is shut out of licensed EU venues entirely. Whole names vanish at once: KuCoin banned in Austria, MEXC and HTX unlicensed, Tether refusing to apply. What is left is the incumbents. Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Crypto, Bitstamp, Bitpanda. The ones who could pay to stay. ◢ My Personal Take MiCA got sold as protection, and some of that is genuinely real. Custody rules and capital requirements do shield users. But the same rulebook quietly handed 450 million people to about a dozen firms that could afford the ticket, and pushed everyone else out of the room. The exchange spent years deciding which tokens deserved a market. Now a regulator decides which exchanges deserve to exist. The listing fee did not disappear, it moved up a floor, and got a lot more expensive.

  Daily Market Report #756 It’s black Friday. Red sea again, deeper than yesterday. So much news that it is hard to even know where to start. My daily buy on BTC and ETH triggered again at these prices. I said it yesterday, and it keeps being true: You always get a chance to get in deeper. I held my DCA above $70K, stacked everything below, and the market just keeps handing out lower entries. I am not happy the market is bleeding, but I am happy I stayed disciplined for it. Bitcoin weekly RSI dropped to 19, the lowest since the December 2022 bear market bottom. The last time Bitcoin was this oversold on the weekly was the literal bottom of the last bear market. The Zcash story is the one that stings most this morning. ZEC crashed 33% overnight to $398. Zooko disclosed a critical counterfeiting vulnerability in the Orchard pool that could have allowed unlimited undetectable ZEC minting. They shipped an emergency fix, but the damage to confidence is done. A privacy coin is only worth anything if the privacy actually works, and a counterfeiting bug is the worst possible kind of flaw for that thesis. Monero is down 8% to $331 in sympathy, but with no bug of its own. This is exactly why the Monero camp says boring and battle-tested beats clever and new. Gold $4,448. Silver $72.79. Oil $93, still hovering near $100 all week. US oil reserves are at the lowest level since 2004. Iran says there is no tangible progress in peace talks. Israel is continuing Lebanon operations despite the ceasefire. North Korea unveiled a nuclear fuel facility. South Africa’s court ruled Bitcoin is money and capital, a real legal milestone buried under the bloodbath. Bitcoin $63,425, down 1%. Dominance 55.9%. Crypto ETFs saw $4.4B leave over 13 sessions. BTC ETFs saw another $397M out. Mt. Gox moved another 116 BTC to Bitstamp. The Strategy story has gone from a crack to a real wound. Saylor is now sitting on an $11.5B unrealized loss. The STRC preferred share slipped to $0.96, below par, which is exactly the pressure point that tool I mentioned yesterday was built to track. Below $60K, the dividend machine starts forcing the math. Crypto Rover closed a $1M+ BTC short at $61K and is calling a capitulation bottom. The forced sellers and the bottom-callers are screaming at each other, which is what the actual bottom sounds like. Ethereum $1,740, down 3.1%. ETH dominance 9.2%. BitMine filed a 9.5% preferred stock offering to buy more ETH, doubling down into the worst tape, while their existing stack sits deep underwater. The ETH treasury trade is now under real stress and being judged harshly. Solana $67.77, down 4.3%. TVL still bleeding, down 6.1% on the week. SOL holders have had the longest, most punishing stretch of any major. XRP $1.14, down 4.7%. Ripple’s RLUSD went multichain via Wormhole across 40+ ecosystems, and XRP still lost $1.15. Real product, no price relief. BNB $601, down 1.9%. Holding $600 by a thread. Hyperliquid $62.84, down 14.1%. The relative strength that held all month finally broke. Could Hyperliquid also get catched on hacks.  Hayes dumped his entire HYPE position, and the chart followed, down 15%+ alongside NEAR. The Grayscale HYPG staking ETF launched today into a 14% drop. I faded HYPE the entire way up and felt sick about it, and now the day it finally cracks hard is the day Hayes calls the whole top. NEAR Intents topped $20B volume with TVL at an all-time high, even as the token fell 19%. The product kept growing while the price got destroyed. That tells you this is market-wide deleveraging, not a Hyperliquid or NEAR problem. Chainlink $7.86, down 4.4%. Under $8 now. Citi says $8.2T tokenized by 2030, CCIP a key standard, JPMorgan and Citi launching a tokenized deposit network next year, and the token is at $7.86. Sui co-founder announced confidential transfers coming to Sui, shielding amounts while making unauthorized minting impossible by design, which is a direct shot at exactly the flaw that just hit Zcash. The privacy race continues, but the bar just got raised. ADA dropped below $0.16 for the first time since 2020 as Hoskinson announced a break and then said more Cardano projects are about to die. A founder publicly saying his own ecosystem’s projects are dying while the token hits a five-year low is about as bleak as it gets. The casino burns alongside everything else. Tether launched a gold-backed Visa card. Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard are near a joint stablecoin platform. JPMorgan, Citi, and major US banks plan a tokenized deposit network next year. Anthropic is calling for a global pause in AI development, warning models are approaching the ability to self-improve without human intervention. The company building the frontier model is publicly saying the technology is getting close to recursive self-improvement and asking the world to slow down. Whatever you think of the motive, that is not a normal corporate statement. OpenAI and Anthropic also signed an anti-bioweapon letter. The AI labs are warning about existential risk with one hand and filing to IPO at peak euphoria with the other. Three mega AI IPOs, market highs before September, then take profit. When the most hyped private companies on earth rush to sell to the public at the exact moment their own leaders warn about the dangers, you are watching distribution at the top dressed up as a milestone. That is how bottoms are built, even when it feels like the floor is gone. What are you watching going into the weekend?

  Four “features” I want to see Robinhood ($HOOD) implement @vladtenev @RobinhoodApp International Markets: Open up Europe, Japan, UK, and Canada to US users. Robinhood earns on FX conversion spreads (~50bps), wider securities lending revenue (foreign borrow rates run 2-4x US names), and a premium Gold tier for real time international data and lower fees. Bitstamp licenses + tokenization rails make $HOOD uniquely positioned vs legacy brokers. Forex Trading: Direct currency pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/JPY etc.) with 24/5 access. Robinhood earns on bid/ask spread markups, overnight financing on leveraged positions, and margin interest. Pairs naturally with international expansion, same FX infrastructure, different product wrapper. High margin and recurring revenue. Again can offer lower fees for gold members. Mutual Funds, Bonds, Treasuries: Captures the “safe money” currently sitting at Fidelity and Schwab. Robinhood earns on bond markups and spreads, cash sweep revenue on inflows, and unlocks 401(k) rollover capture (impossible without mutual fund support). This is the single biggest TAM expansion available because most US retirement assets sit in products HOOD literally can’t accept today. Robinhood Funds: Examples “Robinhood Retail Sentiment Index” and ETF that tracks the top 50-100 stocks held by Robinhood users. “Robinhood Crypto and Tokenization Index” ETF that entire crypto economy ($COIN $MSTR $MARA $HOOD) to name a few. Robinhood would make margin on expense ratios.
