  @sminston_with I liked this video. One pointer, though. You said that the bottom in 2015 was because of the block size war. That is an error. The blocksize war culminated in Aug 2017. The final dip in Jan 2015 was partly due to a hack at Bitstamp

  sol is trading within a $0.19 range across 16 pairs and 12 different exchanges right now, binance, coinbase, kraken, bitstamp, barely any gap between them. that's not random, that's what deep liquidity looks like, arbitrage traders close gap like that in secs. this is actually funny though, some exchanges match that price exactly but still score 'bb' on reliability, price isn't issue here, rather the liquidity behind each exchange.

  For years CEXs were the gatekeeper. On July 1, Europe put a gatekeeper above the gatekeeper. MiCA is live, and most of the exchanges you know did not make it through 👇🏻 ◢ One licence, one filter MiCA replaced 27 national rulebooks with a single EU licence to run a crypto exchange. Win it in one member state and you passport across all 27. Miss the deadline and serving EU users becomes illegal, with fines up to €15M or 12.5% of turnover. There was no extension and no soft landing. One date, one filter, 450 million users on the other side of it. ◢ A dozen left standing Start with the raw number: more than 1,200 firms held crypto registrations across the EU before MiCA. Around 210 converted to a full CASP licence. Of those, only about 14 can actually operate a trading platform. The rest are cleared to custody assets and little else. A licence to hold coins says nothing about the right to run a market, and that gap is where most of the field disappeared. ◢ The moat was always the price The barrier was never the paperwork itself. It was what the paperwork costs. Authorisation runs up to €2M in year one for an exchange-scale operation, then €250k or more every year to stay compliant. For a global exchange that is a rounding error. For a smaller one it is the end. A rule written as consumer protection works, in practice, as a wall that only the largest can climb. The field thins, and the survivors get bigger. ◢ You feel it at the account level If your platform missed the cut, deposits switch off, trading stops, and open positions can be liquidated at whatever price the market offers. Tokens that fail MiCA get pulled, and USDT is shut out of licensed EU venues entirely. Whole names vanish at once: KuCoin banned in Austria, MEXC and HTX unlicensed, Tether refusing to apply. What is left is the incumbents. Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Crypto, Bitstamp, Bitpanda. The ones who could pay to stay. ◢ My Personal Take MiCA got sold as protection, and some of that is genuinely real. Custody rules and capital requirements do shield users. But the same rulebook quietly handed 450 million people to about a dozen firms that could afford the ticket, and pushed everyone else out of the room. The exchange spent years deciding which tokens deserved a market. Now a regulator decides which exchanges deserve to exist. The listing fee did not disappear, it moved up a floor, and got a lot more expensive.

  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. 🤝

  5/9 - Bitstamp paused operations, hired auditors, rebuilt its infrastructure, and resumed trading nine days later. No customer was ever asked to take a haircut. The company kept operating and never lost a banking partner. That decision is the entire story.

  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.

  @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.

  I must say - the purchase was on a premium for wonderfi shareholders; the introduction of competition for brokerage products, esp w 0 trading fees, is a net positive for consumers; maybe wonderfi CEO just didn’t want to show up after being abducted, so they used the bitstamp guy. But I just personally definitely had a gut reaction when he said “happy Canada Day” on stream. It also did not help to come at a time where Canada is seeking economic independence from the US, particularly from USD denominated import export demand, and our car manufacturing sector got hammered in Ontario by the current US government’s tariffs on automobiles. I’m clearly nitpicking here, as the team has done excellent work, and I particularly loved Hilary’s section, filled with actual product updates from top to bottom. All in all, I just hope they don’t stream a British officer to announce things for Australia on January 26 in 2027.

  MT GOX MOVES 10,422 BITCOIN WORTH $739 MILLION TO UNMARKED ADDRESS IN LARGEST SINGLE TRANSFER IN MONTHS The Mt. Gox rehabilitation estate moved 10,422.65 bitcoin worth approximately $739 million from cold storage to two new addresses at 04:47 UTC on Tuesday, recorded in Bitcoin block 952,072, marking the estate’s largest single on-chain transfer in months and arriving with creditors watching closely ahead of an October 31, 2026 final repayment deadline. Of the total, 10,306.35 BTC worth approximately $730.8 million was sent to a previously unseen address beginning with 14FEEM, with no prior transaction history. A smaller 116.3 BTC was routed simultaneously to a known Mt. Gox hot wallet. A second transaction at approximately 06:46 UTC moved another 116.3 BTC to a separate address, along with a small test amount to a Bitstamp cold wallet. Blockchain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence data showed all transferred bitcoin remained marked as unspent, with no funds reaching exchange order books in the hours following the transfer. Mt. Gox still holds approximately 34,504 BTC valued at roughly $2.43 billion, the largest unresolved holding tied to any failed cryptocurrency exchange. Trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi extended the repayment deadline twice, with a Tokyo court approving the most recent extension in October 2025 pushing the cutoff to October 31, 2026 due to incomplete creditor procedures. The rehabilitation process began distributing coins to approximately 19,500 creditors in mid-2024 through partner exchanges including Kraken and Bitstamp. Creditors who held claims since the 2014 collapse acquired their coins at prices far below current market levels, meaning any eventual distribution creates potential selling pressure. Tuesday’s transfer is the estate’s largest since internal consolidation movements in late 2025, none of which preceded confirmed selling. On-chain data confirmed no exchange inflows attributable to the Mt. Gox wallets in the hours after Tuesday’s transfer, consistent with prior administrative consolidations. The movement arrived during a sharp Bitcoin sell-off already driven by record ETF outflows, Strategy’s first disclosed Bitcoin sale since 2022, and stalled U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations.
