  @StuFlavouredStu @upshift_fi @Bitstamp just confirming that you’re doing this: to view your increased balance, you need to click “withdraw” and the withdraw amount is different to your deposited amount. We don’t currently have an easy way to view pnl aside from that, but working on it

  @Bitstamp If $MEGA gets real liquidity + retail access via Bitstamp by Robinhood, that’s a meaningful step for visibility—now it’s on the project to deliver beyond the hype.

  @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.

  MT GOX MOVES 10,422 BITCOIN WORTH $739 MILLION TO UNMARKED ADDRESS IN LARGEST SINGLE TRANSFER IN MONTHS The Mt. Gox rehabilitation estate moved 10,422.65 bitcoin worth approximately $739 million from cold storage to two new addresses at 04:47 UTC on Tuesday, recorded in Bitcoin block 952,072, marking the estate’s largest single on-chain transfer in months and arriving with creditors watching closely ahead of an October 31, 2026 final repayment deadline. Of the total, 10,306.35 BTC worth approximately $730.8 million was sent to a previously unseen address beginning with 14FEEM, with no prior transaction history. A smaller 116.3 BTC was routed simultaneously to a known Mt. Gox hot wallet. A second transaction at approximately 06:46 UTC moved another 116.3 BTC to a separate address, along with a small test amount to a Bitstamp cold wallet. Blockchain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence data showed all transferred bitcoin remained marked as unspent, with no funds reaching exchange order books in the hours following the transfer. Mt. Gox still holds approximately 34,504 BTC valued at roughly $2.43 billion, the largest unresolved holding tied to any failed cryptocurrency exchange. Trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi extended the repayment deadline twice, with a Tokyo court approving the most recent extension in October 2025 pushing the cutoff to October 31, 2026 due to incomplete creditor procedures. The rehabilitation process began distributing coins to approximately 19,500 creditors in mid-2024 through partner exchanges including Kraken and Bitstamp. Creditors who held claims since the 2014 collapse acquired their coins at prices far below current market levels, meaning any eventual distribution creates potential selling pressure. Tuesday’s transfer is the estate’s largest since internal consolidation movements in late 2025, none of which preceded confirmed selling. On-chain data confirmed no exchange inflows attributable to the Mt. Gox wallets in the hours after Tuesday’s transfer, consistent with prior administrative consolidations. The movement arrived during a sharp Bitcoin sell-off already driven by record ETF outflows, Strategy’s first disclosed Bitcoin sale since 2022, and stalled U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations.

  @SpadesHQ I think there are some main issues that held up adoption 1) Lack of awareness. Most people just don't know it exists. And certainly a lot of people not aware of the better experience it has. 2) Lack of central exchange support for issued assets. Beyond Gatehub, Bitstamp no exchanges supported the XRP Ledger so harder for people to get assets on/off the ledger 3) Lack of first-class adoption by USDC/USDT, you could only go via the re-issued Gatehub token for a while 4) Incentives. Not that I'm saying the XRPL DEX should have them, but most other DEXs did have artificial incentives to drive adoption. 5) "Its not Ethereum". It is just different to what a lot of people are first introduced to. Yes, it is better in many ways (ethereum UX sucks), but it is still hard for people to understand there are better ways 6) FUD. A lot of negative association to Ripple by OGs. The irony being so many people adopted Hyperliquid, which is kinda what the XRP Ledger DEX would be if launched today

  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.

  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.

  Bitcoin is showing a dangerous signal! If 80K fails to hold, the short term may see a sharp drop first. From today’s Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC is now hovering around the $80,400–$80,800 range. On the surface, it looks like high-level sideways movement, but the structure on the right side is already very clear: the previous two attempts to break through 82K–82.5K both failed to hold, followed by consecutive pullbacks. This shows one thing: selling pressure above is heavy, and the bulls are starting to lose momentum on the push higher. My current judgment is very direct: in the short term, I’m looking for a pullback first, not chasing longs. Next, focus only on two levels: First, $80,000. This is the most important defense line for the bulls right now. As long as 80K can still hold, Bitcoin still has a chance to continue building strength and attack 81.5K–82K again. Second, $79,500–$78,800. If 80K breaks, the short term will likely continue to wash downward and test this support zone. This is the real area that decides whether the bulls can continue to stay in control. The most dangerous thing right now is not that it has dropped, but that it keeps failing to break higher at a high level. Many people see BTC still above 80K and think it will definitely continue to push toward 85K. But people who truly read the market do not only look at where price is standing. They look at: Is there continuation after the breakout attempt? Is there support on the pullback? Right now, the answer is very clear: selling pressure above 82K is obvious, and 80K is getting closer to being tested again. So my prediction is: short-term bearish, first watch the risk of 80K breaking. If 80K breaks, I will look toward 79.5K, even 78.8K. If 80K holds strongly and BTC reclaims 81.5K with volume, then it will have a chance to challenge 82K–82.5K again. One-sentence summary: now is not the position to blindly chase higher, but to watch whether the 80K defense line can hold. If it holds, there is still a chance to rebound; if it breaks, the short term will likely first wash down to 79.5K–78.8K. What do you think about this move? Do you think Bitcoin is washing and accumulating above 80K, or preparing to drop back to 78K to find support again? Type your direction in the comments: bullish, type 1; bearish, type 2. In my next post, I will directly break down: can 80K be entered near here? Where are the real entry and stop-loss levels? Follow me if you want to see the next key levels. Don’t wait until the market has already moved, only to realize you were one step too late again. （Personal opinion only, not investment advice.）

  @Bitstamp All customers need to look at Reddits complaints about withdrawals. Bitstamp needs to be sued for jerking people around. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE OF ANY EXCHANGE.

  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.
