  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?

  @Bitstamp @BitstampSupport Hi — I requested account closure and data deletion over a week ago via support ticket #2259522 and haven’t received confirmation. Could someone please help finalize this? Thank you.

  @Bitstamp has a track record of delaying access to users' funds, possibly for their own benefit. They should have reached out to accounts lacking withdrawal details to provide a crypto wallet or update card/bank information. Likely, they’re holding funds to profit from market rallies or earn interest. $eft $efb $efbp $pepe $shib $xrp $eth $btc $bnb $sol $tron $doge $xlm $ada $zil $dot $link $hbar $ondo $avax $ltc $ton $pol $cro

  ₿ Bitcoin slides to $110,902 on Bitstamp, down -636 (-0.57%). Profit-taking weighs on BTC’s recent gains. #Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto

  @vladtenevmajor my issue (and I presume others') I can't take part in the 2% crypto bonus on transfers to my @RobinhoodApp account because they're not offered. Yet, seeing the same tokens available on @Bitstamp leads me to ask, "any plans of merging so we can consolidate assets?"

  @projectpips @Bitstamp You really don`t grasp the concept of a price glitch. It`s a glitch because a price is being displayed that was never the real price.

  @Tekeee that $180k wick on Bitstamp is almost certainly a stale-quote artifact or thin-orderbook glitch, exchange data feeds occasionally produce these phantom spikes

  🤔 SUPPLY SHOCK INCOMING. #ripple $xrp #crypto Binance: XRP reserves dropped from ~2.85 bil to ~2.24 bil XRP. Upbit: From over 6 bil down to barely 1 billion XRP. Bitstamp: Shrank from ~50 mil to just 9.8 mil XRP. Bybit and Bitfinex: Each saw tens of millions drained

  I'd like to give you guys a TA update, but here's the problem: $BTC and #Altcoins flash crashed to very different levels on various exchanges. E.g., Bitcoin tapped $100K on Kraken, $107K on Coinbase, $109K on Bitstamp. SUI tapped $0.16 on Kraken, $2 on Coinbase. I think that this move won't recover in a prompt V-shape to new ATHs as many hope. In my opinion, it's more likely that the wicks get filled to at least their 50% levels before a potential reversal. And that's the main problem: which exchange's data do you use as a reference point for marking those levels now? In my opinion, this will take weeks to stabilize. Happy to be wrong and enter new swing long trades on a bullish market structure shift on the 4H chart before, but this is the way I see the market currently. There's no rush to jump into positions already. You can wait for more data (candles) and a clear trend shift.

  @Bitstamp @BitstampSupport Ticket #BIT-2261402 Still waiting! It’s ridiculous! You have no legit basis to withhold the funds of your customers like that. I’ve now read dozens of the same messages from other customers, proving this is how you operate. UNACCEPTABLE for a simple refund issue!

  @BitstampSupport @bitstam @RobinhoodApp_EU I made a withdrawal but later the ammount showed up as seperate deposite to my bitstamp account with no explenation given. You charged fees twice and support does not answer. It has been 24 days since my request.

  @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.

  Bitstamp - I reported missing crypto in my portfolio now i have found a button on the bitstamp dashboard which, when I press it, returns the missing crypto. The button was unknown to me previously. My problem is solved, the missing crypto has reappeared.

  @Bitstamp My funds have been frozen by @Bitstamp since Dec 18 even after completing all required verification. No resolution. No timeline. This is causing real financial hardship. Can anyone help bring visibility to this? #Bitstamp #Crypto

  Joe Blackman, RH ACGM® (@JosephBlackma1) reported 40 minutes ago

  @NatalieHarr21 we're sorry to hear about the ongoing issue with your Bitstamp account. As Robinhood acquired Bitstamp, our teams are aligned on support. Please DM with your case/reference number so we can escalate and assist directly. We'll get this reviewed ASAP.

  Binance is still best CEX from user perspective. Listing choice aside. But truly… - super quick customer support - fast crypto and importantly EUR withdrawals - many chains supported - never asked for additional proof of wealth reports (Bitstamp tortured me for weeks recently) - no weird account closures - low fees Etc etc It’s still the north star for UX for crypto companies.

  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.

  @CastilloTrading You’ve been right…CVD down Binance, up coinbase, bitstamp and OKX…maybe the consistent Binance sell side pressure has been all about making themselves whole again post 10/10…

  @Bitstamp is holding my assets hostage. •Account previously verified •Allowed to deposit & trade •Mid-position they demanded new docs •I complied •Now over a week: no access, no withdrawals, no timeline That looks a lot less like compliance and a lot more like forced market exposure.

  @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.
