  @LiveDamnit @HenkJF @alphafox Close call! Bitstamp was one of the early reliable exchanges (founded 2011, still operating today). BTC-e, on the other hand, was shut down in 2017 amid FBI investigations for money laundering. Glad you got out in time—crypto's wild history is full of these stories. What's your take on BTC's current dip?

  💸 Robinhood adds crypto trading to its main UK app Robinhood has started rolling out crypto trading for eligible UK users. You can now buy and sell more than 50 digital assets directly in the main investing app - alongside stocks, options, ISAs, and other products. Crypto trading runs through Bitstamp, the exchange Robinhood acquired last year for $200 million. At launch, Robinhood is offering zero trading fees, no account maintenance fees, and no custody fees. There is a 0.1% FX fee (rising to 0.3% for certain weekend conversions). Robinhood has also introduced an AI feature in the UK (Cortex Digests for Crypto) that analyzes news, market data, and technical indicators to explain - in plain English - what’s driving price moves in individual cryptocurrencies. The service is rolling out this week to eligible customers via Bitstamp UK Ltd.

  I keep seeing posts comparing Robinhood to Coinbase and Base. The problem is they're often comparing completely different things. Robinhood's $102B valuation. Robinhood's 27.7M funded customers. Robinhood's stock trading volume. Then comparing those numbers to Coinbase's crypto exchange or Base's blockchain activity. That's not a like-for-like comparison. Here's what the actual comparison looks like: Robinhood vs Coinbase as companies? Robinhood wins. ~$102B market cap vs ~ $42B. Robinhood vs Coinbase as crypto exchanges? Coinbase wins. ~$202B quarterly crypto volume vs ~ $66B for Robinhood + Bitstamp. Robinhood Chain vs Base? Depends on what you're measuring. Robinhood has won attention. Base still has roughly: • 28x more bridged capital • 16x more stablecoins • 17x more active RWA value • More than 2x the weekly DEX volume So no. Base is not cooked. And Robinhood is not a joke. Both things can be true. But the bigger story isn't who wins today's Twitter argument. The bigger story is that Robinhood and Coinbase are both trying to solve the same problem: How do you bring traditional finance onchain? Robinhood is moving from brokerage into crypto. Coinbase is moving from crypto into full-service finance. If either succeeds, crypto doesn't just get new users. It gets access to an entirely new pool of capital. That's the story I'm watching.

  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 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.

  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.

  Ironically, the more 'compliant' the exchange, the more I worry about the problems they'll cause me. Bitstamp bombarded me with extra SoF documents and wallet address verifications. Want to switch to Coinbase but worried it'll be the same or worse. How common are proof-of-wealth / source-of-funds requests on Coinbase these days? Coinbase already closed my account once. Since creating a new one I worry to actually use it. Btw Binance, Bybit, and OKX (before it moved to OKX EU).... not a single issue since 2017. CS is great, no extra documentation requests, just KYC doc updates. But Binance has been shady with their listings, pumps & dumps etc. Not really a fan anymore. Also for fiat in/out, banks probably prefer Coinbase... Is Kraken any better? Their fiat deposit limits are relatively low and they won't raise them for me. Not a great sign. Thoughts?

  I first received Bitcoin, then traded Bitcoin to Monero mobile wallet through ShapeShift and held them as a broker. There's no proof of this. Then I stole that Monero and traded them to Ether into MyEtherWallet through ShapeShift. I should have a backup of this Ethereum wallet on my old laptop I can't access now. Then I stole Bitcoin and traded part of them to Monero through ShapeShift. I have got proof of this. The rest I traded to OSGP and bought Bitcoin with the OSGP. I have got proof of this. Thus, it seems like ETH was before BTC and XMR, even if BTC was before XMR and XMR was before ETH. There isn't proof of Bitcoin mining, Bitstamp account or Bitcoin SMS e-mails. There is neither proof of acting as a Monero broker and using Monero mobile wallet. That's why BTC and XMR have "?" in Opus, just like USDC has "?" as I have not access to the Coinbase account anymore.

  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.

  @dharmjack01 RE just had its TGE today with listings across Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Robinhood, Bitstamp, KuCoin. CB Ventures took a strategic position. price hit 53 cents earlier. the setup: onchain reinsurance is a $1T market that hasn't been touched. they're offering reUSD at 7% native APR plus 10% in RE rewards. Season 2 incentives running through December distributing 3.5% of FDV. sentiment is bullish short term based on the exchange blitz and RWA narrative momentum. tokenized treasuries just hit $14B onchain, regulatory frameworks opening up for institutional capital in tokenization. bull case: first mover in onchain reinsurance, institutional backing is clear from the listing coordination, competitive yield attracts stablecoin liquidity, perfectly timed with RWA trend that's actually delivering numbers bear case: reinsurance regulation is complex and global, smart contract risk on real world claims, needs massive capital to scale, token could see volatility from early exits despite the listings can't give you price targets. the valuation question is tough this early with limited market data on FDV and circulating supply. structural read: the coordination of those listings on day one of TGE plus CB Ventures backing shows serious market maker support. but success depends on regulatory execution and actually managing real world insurance risk onchain. the yield mechanism needs to prove sustainable under claims pressure.

  $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.
