  EURC just crossed €400 million in circulation. End of 2024 it was around €80 million. Over the past year alone, it's more than doubled. The entire euro stablecoin market was worth about €650 million combined as of June. EURC alone is now past €400 million of that. Visa and Mastercard both settle through it. Listed on five major exchanges: Bitpanda, Bitstamp, Bybit, Coinbase, Kraken. Licensed in France under MiCA since 2024. Euro M2 money supply sits at €16 trillion. Euro stablecoins are still a rounding error of that.

  You were told crypto was too risky for your retirement account. Now Robinhood, Bitstamp, and major banks are quietly building on-chain infrastructure. Bitcoin is up 18% in the last 30 days to $82,328. Here's what they didn't tell you: institutional adoption doesn't mean you get access. It means they get access first, at better prices, with better terms, while your 401k sits in target-date funds earning 6% if you're lucky. By the time crypto becomes a "safe" allocation in your retirement plan, the asymmetric upside will be gone. They'll sell you exposure at the top and call it diversification. The system wasn't built to give you early access. It was built to let institutions buy low and sell you high. Most accounts are selling you something or farming engagement. I'm giving you the structure behind the headlines. If you're not following yet, you're leaving alpha on the table. 🧵

  MiCA is fully in force as of today, July 1. No CASP license means no legal right to serve EU clients. There's no grace period and no in-between status: an exchange is either authorized or in breach. Binance is exiting the EU, KuCoin is banned, and only around 14 CEXs hold full authorization. Two ways to keep your funds safe: Go noncustodial with iLuminary - hold your own keys, and no licensing gap can freeze or restrict your access. Use a licensed CASP - Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bitstamp, Crypto com, Bitvavo, Bybit EU and a handful of others. Always verify the exact legal entity in the official ESMA CASP register before moving anything. Don't wait to get locked out.

  $HOOD Two segment anomalies justify a paragraph each. Crypto 47% YoY is consistent with industry data, not company-specific weakness. Coinbase's TTM EPS is −53% Robinhood's crypto print is mechanically the retail cycle. The interesting nuance is Bitstamp: $42B in institutional notional in Q1 vs. $24B in retail-app notional. Robinhood now has an institutional crypto venue embedded in the consolidated print, and it carries lower take rates than the retail app but accumulates volume that does not depend on the retail cycle. Over the next 4-6 quarters, as institutional volume normalizes higher (sticky once on-platform) and retail volume mean-reverts off cycle lows, the consolidated crypto line should de-cyclicalize. That is a slow, multi-quarter pattern, not a one-quarter print event. Event contracts +320% YoY at $147M is the most important new line item in the print. This is the lineal successor to crypto in the Robinhood revenue stack. The infrastructure (Rothera DCM) is launching mid-2026 with HOOD as 45% owner of a CFTC-licensed Designated Contract Market. That changes the economics from "we route to MIAXdx and pay a fee" to "we own the venue and capture the spread." If event contracts annualize at $600M+ in 2026 (current Q1 run-rate × 4 = $588M, with seasonal Q3-Q4 typically higher), they replace 50–60% of the crypto revenue lost since the cycle peak, and they do it on infrastructure HOOD owns. The market currently treats this line as a curiosity. In two prints it will be one of the top two narrative drivers.

  @Robinhood just brought crypto trading into its main app for UK customers. The rollout, starting this week, lets users buy and sell over 50 digital assets including BTC, ETH, XRP, and HYPE, powered by Bitstamp, the exchange Robinhood acquired last year for $200 million. Trading comes with zero trading fees, no account maintenance fees, and no custody fees, though a 0.1% foreign exchange fee applies, rising to 0.3% for certain weekend conversions. Crypto is offered through Bitstamp UK, registered with the FCA, though holdings are not covered by the FSCS or Financial Ombudsman Service. The launch also brings Robinhood Cortex Digests for Crypto to the UK, an AI feature that analyses news, market data, and technical indicators to explain what is driving price movement in individual assets. Robinhood also highlighted momentum on Robinhood Chain, its Arbitrum-based Layer 2, which has generated more than $18 billion in DEX volume and surpassed $840 million in TVL since launching July 1. The move fits a broader diversification push. Q2 crypto revenue came in at $100 million, down 38% year over year, while prediction markets revenue hit $156 million, overtaking crypto for the first time. Total net revenue rose 32% to $1.31 billion, with net income up 48% to $573 million.

  base but with a hood on. everyone reviewed robinhood chain as a product launch. i think it's a trap for base airdrop money, set up months in advance. what went live on july 1: → stock tokens in 120+ countries inside robinhood wallet, trading 24/7, usable as defi collateral → uniswap live from day one as the main public dex → morpho powering robinhood earn with ~7% on USDG → USDG issued natively on the chain → perps built straight into the wallet via lighter → arcus (by dYdX team), stock trading at zero fees with a token promised to the community → gas free for the first 90 days now look at base's side of the board. they said out loud they're exploring a network token. in february they walked off the OP stack onto their own codebase and stopped paying optimism rent. and now they're about to ship B20, their own token standard baked straight into the node software. erc20 compatible, but with freeze and transfer controls built in, aimed at stablecoins, RWAs and tokenized equities. nobody rebuilds token plumbing at the protocol level for fun. robinhood chain mainnet july 1. B20 mainnet july 8. one week apart, both laying rails for the same thing. a base token would be the biggest retail wealth event of the cycle. a new class of rich onchain wallets, old ones waking up, normies crawling back the second "base printed" hits their group chats. that liquidity doesn't retire, it looks for the next trade. and post-airdrop money always walks the same ladder: dump some, rotate majors, farm, memes, then something that feels more adult. robinhood just shipped the adult option. NVDA and TSLA as collateral, 24/7, inside an app normies already have on their phones. coinbase wakes retail up. robinhood is standing right there with something to sell them. maybe the whole robinhood arc has nothing to do with base at all. maybe they just executed a year-old roadmap and the window opened around them. but wall street holds COIN and HOOD as one bet on finance moving onchain, and both companies started laying rails for the same moment at the same time. the bitstamp deal fits the same picture: licenses first, then own chain, then tokenized stocks, then defi rails. nobody collects that stack to add two more coins to an app. why would any of this actually hurt base? because eth vs sol is a religion war. evm vs evm is nothing. trenchers bridge in minutes, builders redeploy in a day. there is no switching cost, only reasons. just look at bankr and virtuals. two flagship base projects, both added robinhood chain support within days. no drama, just a new chain in the dropdown. and base picked a bad year to slow down. creator coins meta fizzled, ai agents barely got any support while they were the hottest meta in crypto. baseapp never found its pmf and feels like it exists for optics, not for onboarding anyone. the ecosystem spotlight kept landing on stuff like o1 exchange. loyalty in evm land is a bridge transaction. pure shizo, zero evidence, but the symmetry is funny: coinbase trades as COIN and incubates BASE token. robinhood trades as HOOD. ROBIN completes the pair. do with that what you want. to be fair to the other side: robinhood planned this chain for over a year, a base token still has no date and might not even happen this cycle. and robinhood chain tvl is tiny for now. positioning only pays if liquidity actually shows up. base will be fine. coinbase isn't going anywhere and neither is the money behind it. and i'm saying all this with love. base is the main reason i even stayed onchain these past couple of years. but for the first time base has an evm competitor with a cleaner story for normie capital, and its answer so far is "we're exploring". B20 goes live soon. let's see what base does with it.

  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.

  Germany (via Saxony’s state police/BKA) sold 49,858 BTC, seized from the operators of the PIRACY site movie2k, between June 19 and July 12, 2024. Average sale price was ~$57,900/BTC, netting roughly $2.89 billion. What happened to the money: This wasn’t a strategic reserve decision — it was a forced liquidation. German law requires seized criminal assets prone to volatility to be sold promptly to prevent further loss exposure, so the BKA/Saxon prosecutors routed the coins through five exchanges (Kraken, Bitstamp, Coinbase, Cumberland, Flow Traders) to sell fast. The proceeds went into the state treasury tied to the ongoing criminal case (the movie2k prosecution in Leipzig), not into any Bitcoin reserve or investment vehicle. Germany’s government wallet now holds Zero BTC (not interested) #Bitcoin

  I was early on $HOOD. Sold too early. One of those trades I’ll think about for a while. But I’ve been quietly adding back under $100 and here’s why. Q2 earnings drop July 29th, six days away. Wall Street is expecting $1.28 billion in revenue, up 45.5% year over year. Now, that’s not a trading platform having a good quarter. That’s a business that has systematically built new revenue streams that compound on top of each other, and most people haven’t caught up to what those streams actually are. Start with crypto. $160 million in Q1, up 98% year over year. But the revenue number isn’t the interesting part. The interesting part is what’s sitting behind it. Staking. Crypto wallets. Crypto transfers. The full Bitstamp institutional infrastructure. Robinhood isn’t offering a button to buy Bitcoin anymore. They’re building the entire crypto financial stack for retail and increasingly for professional investors. That’s a different business with a different ceiling. Then there’s the number that genuinely changed how I think about this company. Bernstein projects Robinhood’s prediction market revenue could reach $1.7 billion by 2028. Piper ******* and Bernstein both flagged this week that prediction market revenue could actually overtake crypto revenue as soon as Q2. A $1.7 billion revenue stream from a product that barely existed eighteen months ago. If that projection is even half right it’s a completely new business inside Robinhood that isn’t in the current multiple. Recently, Robinhood announced a partnership with WHOOP. Embedding financial wellness tools inside a wearable worn by serious athletes and high income health conscious consumers. That’s a distribution play into a demographic with real money and real financial goals, exactly the kind of customer Robinhood needs to evolve from a trading app into a genuine wealth platform. The CLARITY Act is the regulatory catalyst sitting in the background that nobody is fully pricing. Proposed legislation creating clearer frameworks for both cryptocurrency and prediction markets, Robinhood’s two fastest growing segments. KeyBanc specifically cited CLARITY Act potential when raising their target to $125. Regulatory clarity in these spaces doesn’t just remove risk. It expands the addressable market by bringing in institutional players who’ve been waiting on the sidelines. Going into July 29th I want to see two things specifically. Whether prediction market revenue has actually started displacing crypto in the mix, that’s the revenue diversification story that changes the multiple conversation entirely. And what management says about the second half of 2026 margin trajectory, because EPS is expected to dip this year before rebounding 37.6% in 2027. The business has crypto infrastructure, prediction markets, wealth management, retirement accounts, and now health and financial wellness through WHOOP. (Also there expansion into Canada, I’ll write about in a separate post). Each stream largely uncorrelated. Each growing. The gap between what this company is and what most people think it is, is the whole trade.

  BTC Failed to Reclaim 73K? This Is NOT a Safe Dip-Buying Zone — The Real Risk May Be Just Beginning. Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC has now dropped from the 82.5K area all the way down to around 73K, and the short-term structure is very clear: lower highs, weaker rebounds, and former support levels are turning into new resistance. The most dangerous part is not just the size of the drop. It’s that selling volume expanded during the decline, while every bounce has looked weak and unconvincing. BTC has already lost 78K, 76K, 75K, and 74K one after another. Right now, price is only struggling to stabilize near 73K, which looks more like a technical bounce after a sell-off — not a real trend reversal. Here are the 3 key levels I’m watching next: 1. 72.5K–72.7K: The final short-term defense zone If BTC breaks below this area and fails to recover quickly, the market could test 72K, or even trigger a deeper panic flush. 2. 73.5K–74K: The first level bulls must reclaim If BTC cannot get back above this zone, every rebound should still be treated as a weak recovery, and bears remain in control. 3. 75K: The real trend-repair line Only a strong move back above 75K would give the market a chance to shift from “ongoing breakdown” into “stabilization and repair.” My view is simple: BTC is still bearish for now. 73K is not a safe bottom-fishing zone — it is a danger zone. If 72.5K fails, another wave of accelerated selling could hit fast. Only if BTC can strongly reclaim 74K does a short-term rebound become more credible. Don’t rush to catch a falling knife. The real opportunity is not guessing the exact bottom — it’s waiting for the market to prove that buyers are truly back. Do you think BTC breaks 72K first, or rebounds back above 74K first? Drop your view below — and follow me for the next key BTC update. Not financial advice.

  Every exchange collapse gets called "the bottom is in." But data says only the last one in the chain ever is, and knowing the difference is the whole edge. A crypto bear isn't one single event. It's a chain of blow-ups that fires over months, and the bottom only prints on the final one, when the last leveraged player dies and there's nothing left to force-sell. The collapse everyone remembers is almost always the first domino & not the last. 2014–15: The Gox cycle → Nov 2013: ATH $1,163 → Feb 7 2014: Mt. Gox halts withdrawals → Feb 28 2014: Mt. Gox files bankruptcy, 850k BTC gone. Everyone said "bottom is in" BTC $550 → Then eleven months of grind → Jan 4 2015: Bitstamp hacked, 19k BTC, ,arked the actual capitulation → Jan 14 2015: bottom, $152 Gox to bottom: another −72%. the famous collapse was the opener. Bitstamp closed it. 2018: The ICO cycle → Dec 2017: ATH $19,783 → Jan 26 2018: Coincheck hacked, $530M the opener → Feb 2018: BitGrail collapses, $170M BTC $8k → then a full year stuck bleeding around $6k → Nov 15 2018: the BCH hash war, ABC vs SV, breaks the $6k floor. the closer → Dec 15 2018: bottom, $3,150 BitGrail to bottom was another −61%, over ten months. 2022: The leverage cycle → Nov 2021: ATH $69,000 → May 9 2022: Terra/LUNA implodes, $45B gone. the opener → June 12: Celsius freezes withdrawals → June 27: 3AC ordered into liquidation → July 5: Voyager bankrupt. July 13: Celsius bankrupt → Nov 8–11: FTX collapses. the closer → Nov 21 2022: bottom, $15,480 FTX to bottom was just −26%, in 10 days. This is the one case where the famous name was the last domino, which is exactly why it marked the low. So the tell was never the size of the name. It's where it sits in the chain. Terra was bigger than FTX and it marked the top of the crash, not the bottom. Now 2026 → Oct 2025: ATH $126,210 → Oct 10–11 2025: $19B liquidation cascade off the top, the largest in history. this is the opener → Nov 2025: down to $80k now $64k, off by 49% → July 1 2026: AscendEX closes → July 23: BitMEX announces closure → July 26: BitMart winds down Here's what "bottom is in" wrong here. AscendEX, BitMEX and BitMart aren't blow-ups. They're wind downs. Still solvent, withdrawals open, nobody force selling a single coin. They're closing because the mid-tier exchange model stopped making money, not because they detonated. A business shutting on bad math is not a domino. For until now we've had the opener, the Oct 10 Binance cascade but we haven't had the closer yet. No major leveraged entity has detonated into a forced selling panic the way Gox, BitGrail and FTX did. The signal you're actually waiting for isn't an exchange announcing a shutdown. It's an exchange or a fund detonating. The last domino is waiting to happen soon.
