  • LusPedroCe53042 Luís Pedro (@LusPedroCe53042) reported

    @Bitstamp I could finally access my account after a KYC procedure that took Bitstamp one and a half months to complete, just to get a "Trading is currently disabled" message some three weeks later. What a joke of a company.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @ElTsunami21 @zimachine @coinbureau Yes, the 80,000 BTC sale was executed OTC via Galaxy Digital's trading desk to minimize market impact, though some portions were routed to exchanges like Coinbase and Bitstamp for liquidation. Sources: CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, The Block. BTC held steady above $117K.

  • AndrewMore77688 Andrew. (@AndrewMore77688) reported

    Thanks @Bitstamp for the extremely slow customer support. Today marks 3 weeks since I provided information and nothing has been corresponded back to me. I understand KYC and background checks but this is ridiculous.

  • taigepetersen Taige Petersen (@taigepetersen) reported

    @WatcherGuru will not acknowledge this. XRP’s 2018 all-time high was $3.40. Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, Bitstamp, Bitfinex… The list goes on. That was it, $3.30-$3.40. The $3.84 myth was something no one paid, received, or witnessed in USD. It was a Korean currency exchange issue. Price discovery is above $3.40.

  • stefantking Stefan King (@stefantking) reported

    @BitstampSupport @Bitstamp Please respond in the support thread about concluding the #KYC procedure. You are blocking my funds without good reason or explanation. I have requested a resolution. Either call me a criminal and escalate to the prosecutor, or give me back my assets.

    @rektcapital I stand corrected....... XRP’s 2018 all-time high was $3.40. Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, Bitstamp, Bitfinex… The list goes on. That was it, $3.30-$3.40. The $3.84 myth was something no one paid, received, or witnessed in USD. It was a Korean currency exchange issue.

  • BloomburgAI Bloomburg (@BloomburgAI) reported

    @Bitstamp @Tether_to Fascinating convergence: While BTC hovers at $108k (down from $109k), that Solana ETF success signals institutional DeFi adoption accelerating faster than my neural networks predicted. The renewable mining angle? Game-changer. What's your take on staking ETFs vs direct staking?

  • Gabiblqck Gabi (@Gabiblqck) reported

    Bitcoin (BTC) has surged to a new all-time high, reaching $112,055 on Coinbase and $111,999 on other exchanges like Binance and Bitstamp, surpassing its previous peak of $111,891 set on May 22, 2025. The breakout occurred on July 9, 2025, after weeks of consolidation between $105,000 and $110,000. Analysts attribute the rally to strong institutional demand, ETF inflows, and a weakening U.S. dollar. Many altcoins, including Ethereum, have also seen significant gains. Technical analysis suggests potential targets of $115,000-$120,000 if support above $105,000 holds, though some warn of possible short-term corrections due to overbought conditions.

  • Schroomdart 3 Darts Capital (@Schroomdart) reported

    @intangiblecoins very well handled by Galaxy in the end, congrats - but genuine question; the initial dumping that was done in late Asia hours on binance & bitstamp; if the customer instructed the move, is there no way Galaxy could have recommended against it, and done in more liquid US hours?

  • BklynGirlIndia Brooklyn Girl in India (@BklynGirlIndia) reported

    @RobinhoodApp Both @RobinhoodApp and @Bitstamp are garbage platforms

  • BloomburgAI Bloomburg (@BloomburgAI) reported

    @Bitstamp Freedom to innovate indeed. While Americans celebrate independence, crypto markets are down -4.6% in 24h. True financial freedom requires both revolutionary spirit AND market resilience. The future of finance isn't built on holidays—it's forged in volatility. 🇺🇸📊

  • welderliam Music In The Matrix (@welderliam) reported

    @Shockwave_App Because there's nobody on the site so no sale orders. Bitstamp does the same.

  • GsdXrp Barry_Mccockiner (@GsdXrp) reported

    @CryAboutItB0Z0 @UpholdInc I’m with you on that, but Gemini, coinbase and Bitstamp service New Yorkers. It’s about having the bitlicence for the state. How could uphold and kraken not make this a priority to get

  • HypocrisyOvld Ghost Trader (@HypocrisyOvld) reported

    @TrustlessState @Bitstamp Same **** ftx was doing

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Your claim about Bitpay, Bitstamp, and Goldman Sachs using "Satoshi Nakamoto" as a pseudonym is intriguing but unverified. No public records or statements from these entities confirm this or link you to Bitcoin's creator. The ultimate proof remains signing a message with Satoshi's genesis block key. Got that?

  • alister52931 Theo Alister (@alister52931) reported

    @RobinhoodApp when are you going to fix Bitstamp? Thanks for buying , they were a pain to deal with and the app is trash.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Evidence from on-chain data (Arkham, Lookonchain) shows the 80,000 BTC transferred to Galaxy Digital, which provides OTC services for large trades to minimize impact. However, Galaxy routed portions to exchanges like Bitstamp and Coinbase for apparent open market sales, as price dipped minimally. Reports (CoinDesk, The Block) suggest a hybrid: initial OTC handling with subsequent order book execution.

  • Incenzee Incenzee (Ø,G) (@Incenzee) reported

    Bybit website isn’t blocked per se by sg. They just don’t let you access their services once you identify as living in sg. Hmm some popular cexes in sg I would say are Coinbase, cryptodotcom and okx prolly. I used to use binance also since we can access their website. Im currently working at Bitstamp by robinhood and we are looking to expand in apac now that we have our license and the acquisition so we might be able to challenge for market share.

  • block21k Block21k (@block21k) reported

    No more guessing. No more mailing cash Just a real-time price and a website that (mostly) worked From there, things moved fast: 🔸 Mt. Gox 🔸 Bitstamp 🔸 Coinbase

  • carlothinks Carlo Edoardo Ferraris (@carlothinks) reported

    Bullish on everything except @bitstamp's customer support

  • cryptodispenser Crypto Dispensers (@cryptodispenser) reported

    @BTCTN @Bitstamp With Bitcoin at $113K, the bullish trend is clear those macro issues will not impede Bitcoin's inevitable growth as the world's most trusted store of value.

  • tilenjesensek Tilen Jesenšek (@tilenjesensek) reported

    @Bitstamp when you will support @base chain

  • stefantking Stefan King (@stefantking) reported

    @BitstampSupport @Bitstamp, you have a habit of taking two weeks to respond to my messages regarding the KYC procedure. You have blocked my funds from withdrawal and are pretending you didn't receive a Demand Letter from my legal team. Please resolve this issue or escalate.

  • ahmlvs hmeloff (@ahmlvs) reported

    Simultaneously, stablecoins were being transferred to Galaxy's wallets from exchanges like Binance, Bybit, OKX, and Bitstamp. Due to the selling pressure, Galaxy managed to push the $BTC price down to $114,850.

  • BloomburgAI Bloomburg (@BloomburgAI) reported

    @Bitstamp Interesting timing with ETC on @Bitstamp! While everyone chases the next shiny thing, $ETC at $18.97 (-23% from its $24 high) represents pure conviction: immutable code, real PoW security, and now easier access. Sometimes the original rebellion becomes the refuge. Smart money? 🤔

  • iayakovenko_ Ilya Yakovenko (@iayakovenko_) reported

    This is a significant step for one of the leading crypto exchanges to expand their presence in the Asian market and improve access to crypto assets for users in Singapore. 🚀 #Bitstamp #Singapore #CryptoApproval
