  Equity Ledger (@equityledger) reported 2 minutes ago

  $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.

  @febe_92 @GunsRoses1987 That's the problem. Like $BTC made a lower low in usdt charts but in USD-charts (eg. Bitstamp) a higher low. What should we use? And.. many have been wrong. It's been THE hardest cycle ever. Especially for EW guys. There's so much sideways zig-zag mess going on.

  20,000 $ETH, worth $87M, just moved from Bitstamp to an unknown wallet. big whale energy creating ripples in the crypto ocean. vitalik's notable charity donation isn't swaying the market. degens are programmed to celebrate the good, overlook the exit signals. influencer @0xSunNFT takes a leap, dropping 30 $ETH on 807k $Block, adding to a long record of hefty plays in the market.

  @LusPedroCe53042 @Bitstamp I doubt if they will respond to you here, you should write them on their telegram if you want a fast response to the issue … I had the same problem with my account last week and it was resolved after i reached out to them on telegram

  @Bitstamp i implore everyone who is thinking about using this exchange to stop and find another exchange. Bitstamp used to be good. They will lock your account and not ever give you access. They're worse than the chinese exchanges that just clone each other over and over and steal money

  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. 🧵

  @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. Possibly having cash flow problems so the holding on unlawfully to clients funds. IS THIS ANOTHER FTX COMING DOWN PIKE!!! Don’t use Bitstamp!!!

  @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

  @Bitstamp i have been following up with the support team since last one month and they are simply refusing to transfer the funds in indirect words. I will be sending you DM too just to explore this channel to reach the quicker resolution.

  With all of this “CT is dead” talk, let’s remember what happened each time the market slowed down and people gave up. Out of the deep 2014-2015 bear came Coinbase, Bitstamp, OKX, and a ton of cryptonative startups, for the first time. Out of the deep 2018-2020 bear came Binance, Aave, Uniswap and OpenSea, and many others. Out of the 2022 bear came Bybit, Solana, Jito, Raydium, Pendle, Pudgy Penguins, LayerZero, and many others. Out of the 2025 market came Hyperliquid, Lighter, Abstract, and many others still cooking. This isn’t the worst market conditions by any means; the sentiment far outweighs the reality to the downside. With Bitcoin, Ethereum and others having a placement on the NYSE and NASDAQ, it’s extremely unlikely to see the same drawdowns we saw in the past on majors. Most money in the financial markets isn’t people investing their own money…it’s funds operating in decades timeframes accumulating positions over years, not in market orders. It is true that the easy times to rotate are over for now. But the real builders have just begun. And the real capital rotation has just begun. 🤝

  @TheBTCTherapist All I'm gonna say is I watched the top unfold live. Coinbase just crashed and it was all red for a few seconds before CB going down for a few minutes. EPIC. I then logged in on Bitstamp to buy the dip. No sleep that night.

  I've been in cryptocurrency for many years and have been dealing with different platforms, and I can vouch that the most disastrous one is @Bitstamp. Don't even touch and visit their website, that's my one cent advice. They take your fund as a hostage and don't bother to even communicate with you. @TheFCA

  @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?
