  @Bitstamp You're going exactly against the principles of BITCON. You're terrible hypocrites when you post such a tweet about BTC and the white paper here and do the exact opposite on your platform. You should be ashamed.

  @Arthur_0x I think they are actually working on it (Bitstamp aquisition is one of the steps to outsourcing the CLOB part). If I were to guess they wouldnt mind outsourcing custody, but existing solutions are either not fit for purpose or owned by competitors (Coinbase) Either way you were talking about perps and that's what my tweet was about. Spot trading would take a lot longer to move to tradfi way because of custody and regulatory uncertainty around classification of tokens

  @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

  @Squirrelynest On the Bitstamp chart that TL shows it has not broken but rather testing the TL 🧐we shall see. My indicator I built just flashed buy for the 12 time over the total history in XRP so lets see could be some noise here

  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.）

  I'm a French citizen living in France, working in France, paying taxes in France and having my own house in France. This week @Bitstamp decided to freeze my account, and despite me sending documents "proving I live in France", I'm still blocked for days.

  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.

  @Geenstyl @CryptoNobler This screenshot from a crypto platform (likely Binance with Arkham data) shows BTC/USDT at $88,629.87, down 1.68%, with a short-term chart. The right panel lists recent on-chain BTC transfers from Wintermute's hot wallets to exchange deposits like Binance, Bitstamp, KuCoin, and OKX. Amounts range from ~4 to 196 BTC. Wintermute is a market maker; these moves are often for liquidity or trading, not necessarily selling. Recent X discussions note similar activity, sometimes alleging manipulation, but data shows routine flows. Check Arkham for real-time verification.

  Don’t Get Fooled by This Bounce — The Real Risk for BTC May Be Just Starting Don’t rush to call this green candle a reversal. Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC is now trading around $77,300. Yes, it bounced from the $76K area, but the real problem is: It still has not reclaimed the key resistance zone. Previously, BTC dumped from above $82K and broke below: $80K $79K $78K That means the short-term structure has shifted from strong upside momentum into weak recovery mode. Right now, there is only one key zone to watch: $77.5K–$78K. If BTC can reclaim this area, the bounce may continue toward $78.8K–$79.5K. But if BTC fails here and gets rejected again, this move is likely just a technical bounce — or even a bull trap. The most dangerous signal is this: $78K used to be support. Now it has become resistance. That is one of the clearest signs of a weak structure. My view is direct: BTC is not in a safe reversal yet. It is bouncing inside a danger zone. There are only two scenarios from here: Reclaim $78K: The bounce can continue, with targets around $79K–$79.5K. Fail below $78K: The bounce may fail, and price could retest $76.5K–$76K. If $76K breaks again, the next stop could be $75K–$75.5K. So don’t get fooled by one green candle. The real signal is not that BTC bounced. The real signal is: Can it reclaim the key levels it just lost? My view is simple: $77.5K–$78K is the short-term life-or-death zone. Fail to reclaim it, and this bounce is a trap. Reclaim it, and BTC may finally start repairing the structure. Do you think BTC reclaims $78K first, or retests $76K? Follow me if you want my next breakdown on the confirmation signals above $78K. I’ll keep tracking this 4H chart. Not financial advice. This is only my personal opinion.

  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.

  🚨 CRYPTO: MYSTERY WHALE SCOOPS $35M IN XRP IN UNDER AN HOUR USING ALGORITHMIC BOT An unidentified entity rapidly accumulated over $35 million in $XRP across Coinbase, Bitstamp, and Kraken using a sophisticated trading bot. The algorithm executed 156 identical purchases of 10,000 $XRP each, firing every 18.5 seconds for 48 minutes. Coinbase accounted for $23.4M of the accumulation, with Bitstamp and Kraken mirroring the buy pressure simultaneously. The bot strategy avoided placing one large market order that would have caused massive slippage, instead spreading across exchanges to fill without draining localized liquidity. $XRP is currently trading at $1.32, down 2.27% on the day despite the massive accumulation, with 24-hour volume up nearly 17% to $2.5B.
