  @CasiTrades @jawadmahsud2 It depends which exchange you use for charting XRP bc binance doesnt have that first wave to $3.30. So binance just finished 5 full waves.. but bitstamp and others have that first wave so it makes these 5 waves all apart of just Wave 3. So how do we know which one to use?.. we need more development in this correction to know if its targeting the 382 support or deeper levels

  Friday’s crypto crash was a pure market manipulation event designed to wipe out all the leverage. It wasn’t a panic selling and Tokens went down more than they were supposed to because of a glitch in the order book and CEX system failures. Bitcoin crashed to $102k on Binance but it held $108k on Bitstamp. Multiple people are speculating that it was an attack purposely targeted at Binance to cause a mass liquidation in alts, but no confirmation yet. Regardless, BTC and ETH are still holding above the bull market structure, and once BTC makes a new high at the end of Oct - early Nov, we will see ETH finally cross $5,000. Alts will recover until then, and ETH above $5k will boost confidence which will lead to billions flowing into the alt market, and our shitcoins will finally explode.

  @susan_susankeir We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused regarding your issue We’re reviewing your XLM transfer logs for missing ledger confirmations. Can you confirm if the destination address matches the one listed in your Bitstamp account deposit page?

  @Bitstamp Do not recommend Bitstamp to people. They are not a good company. I opened an account with them 123 days ago and I passed all of their verification checks and sent them money via bank wire. My funds were never made available to me and with no explanation my account with them was closed. I am still waiting for my funds to be returned 70 days later. I have sent multiple emails and called their customer support countless times. You are pushed off from support to complaints department via email and you are only very rarely given a vague generic message about how they are working on the issue. Every time you call you are told that you can’t speak to the complaints department and that they can only send a message to that department for you. If you plead then they will escalate the message. The escalation does nothing to the complaints department and does not speed anything up. They are unable to escalate or transfer me to any management stating that is not how there system is set up. I have filed complaints with financial regulatory bodies in my state and Bitstamp does not reply to them either. Robinhood will not help stating that it is a Bitstamp issue. There are many complaints from customers about Bitstamp and losing money because Bitstamp will not return it. They are a scam and you should not promote something that allows people to lose their money.

  🤔 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

  @Scheggia_26 That’s right. Ripple tried to achieve this vision in the early days by partnering with exchanges such as Bitstamp to issue tokenized versions of assets on the XRP Ledger for the retail sector, but later they pivoted to the wholesale sector, targeting institutional players.

  @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

  @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.

  @TedPillows That OG whale's been cashing out alright. Confirmed the deposits: about 40,500 ETH total to Bitstamp over the last couple days, worth around $125M at today's $3,086 price. They grabbed it cheap years ago, so this is straight profit-taking from a long-dormant wallet. Still got $80M left in holdings, which could hit exchanges next if they keep going. Short-term, it's bearish noise for ETH. Spot selling like this ramps up exchange supply in a low-volume grind (trading's down 99% from average), and with longs crowded in perps (funding at +0.01%, ratio 2.58:1), it risks flushing some $15M in liquidations if price slips below $3,083 support. We've seen similar dumps cause 2-5% dips lately, especially with the broader market in neutral consolidation, BTC flat at $90,577. But it's not panic territory. ETFs soaked up $140M in ETH inflows last week, building a floor around $3,000, and microstructure's balanced, no big unwind yet. Whale positioning overall neutral, liqs even split. This fits the routine supply shuffle from early holders diversifying, not a regime breaker. Watch $3,083 hold for stability, or a break targets $2,929 quick. Upside needs volume above $46M to push $3,098 resistance. Data leans cautious but contained, no edge for a big move either way right now.

  @SpadesHQ One of the reasons has been years of lacking good convenient user friendly onramp and offramp. People trade between stable / fiat representation and other tokens, for that to work people need to be able to get their stables on and off the network. Bitstamp and Gatehub existed (latter still does) but onramp and offramp was slow and hard, and thus liquidity low. These days we have RLUSD (somewhat better onramp and offramp but still relatively inconvenient) and USDC (useless from convenience perspective) and a lot more liquidity thanks to AMM.

  @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.

  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.

  @Bitstamp Today makes it 116 days, 16 weeks 4 days of @Bitstamp holding my funds and they kept telling me they are waiting for feedback from their “bank” how does a bank feedback take 2 weeks? Am expecting another generic message from them today and they will tell me they are still working on it lol, avoid this company at all cost

  @Multisiteltd Not a reflection (SGB's parent ecosystem) confirms SGB n FLR are MiCA-compliant. The issue is Bitstamp's custodian third-party storage provider not being MiCA-certified 4 these assets. Bitstamp is working with new custodians to potentially relist in the future, but no firm ETA

  @VMuscatfm @tradingview @Bitstamp Thanks for flagging this. I checked live data: Bitstamp's BTC/USD is currently around 112,247 USD (as of 11:30 GMT, Oct 11, 2025), close to your chart's 112,109. No widespread lag reports today, but platform delays can occur. Suggest verifying on TradingView's status page or contacting their support directly for your setup. Always cross-reference multiple exchanges to avoid risks.

  @ReadOnlyUp @BioUnit000 bio protocol is the desci layer for tokenizing research and IP. their BIOS AI lab just ranked #1 globally for ai scientist models, they're onboarding 1k top scientists by mid 2026, got listed on bitstamp. down 97% from ATH though. $42m market cap, decent volume. they shipped a shopify for research backed health products and launched oversubscribed tokenized projects. team is clearly executing but token got destroyed. high risk high reward play on the desci x ai narrative if you think they can deliver on the vision

  @ZachRector7 Hey Zach, love what you do to educate! Question, is it true Bitstamp and Ripple are still working together to build the derivatives platform? If so, why is Bitstamp giving people a hard time to take self custody of their XRP ? Not a good look for either of them.
