  EUROPE JUST ANNOUNCED ITS CRYPTO REGISTER GREW TO 294 LICENSED FIRMS. TWO MONTHS AGO, EUROPE HAD 3,167 CRYPTO FIRMS. The MiCA licensing deadline on July 1 didn't grow the European crypto industry. It shrank it by more than 90%, and the count climbing back toward 300 is regulators counting the survivors. That's the Game: consolidation dressed as growth. Three US-listed names are the biggest winners of what got cleared out. Coinbase now holds one license covering all 27 EU states and roughly 450 million people. Robinhood inherited the same access through its ownership of Bitstamp, one of Europe's oldest exchanges. Circle is the only major stablecoin issuer licensed for both its dollar and euro tokens. Binance holds no valid MiCA license. Tether never applied, and licensed exchanges have delisted USDT, pulling an estimated $185 billion of the world's most traded stablecoin off the regulated European market entirely. We read "294 licensed firms" as a healthy, maturing industry. It is a market that just lost 2,873 competitors in eight weeks, and three American stocks were standing closest to the door when it happened. Check whether the crypto stock in our portfolio is one of the three names now holding a legally protected head start on 450 million customers, or one of the thousands that quietly stopped existing in Europe this month. 🍌

  BTC has broken below 75K! This is no longer an ordinary pullback. Short-term bears are accelerating their sell-off. Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC has fallen all the way from the 82.5K high, and the structure on the right side now looks extremely weak: 80K broken. 78K broken. 76K broken. Now even 75K has failed to hold, with the price struggling around 74.8K. The most dangerous signal is not how much it has fallen, but that every rebound is getting weaker, and former support levels are continuously turning into new resistance levels. During this sell-off, the large bearish candles on heavy volume are very obvious, indicating that this is not simply a washout in the short term, but that the market is actively releasing risk. Next, there are only two key zones to watch: First, 74.3K–74.5K. This is the nearest defense line at the moment. As long as it can still hold, BTC may first see a technical rebound, targeting 75.5K–76K. Second, 75.5K–76K. This is the level the bulls must reclaim. If BTC cannot get back above it, any rebound will look more like an opportunity to escape rather than a reversal signal. My view is very direct: BTC remains bearish in the short term. If 74.3K fails again, the next step could very likely be a direct test of 74K, or even the 73.5K area. Only by reclaiming 76K can the selling pressure from this decline possibly ease. The easiest mistake to make right now is rushing to buy the dip after seeing one small green candle. In a downtrend, a rebound does not equal a reversal. Do you think BTC will rebound back to 76K first, or continue falling toward 73.5K? Comment “Rebound” or “Keep Falling.” Follow me. I will continue tracking BTC’s next key turning point.

  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, 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.

  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 with $BTC low at $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 with $BTC low at $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 with $BTC at $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 which are still solvent, withdrawals are open, & nobody's force selling a single coin. They're closing because the mid-tier exchange model stopped making money, not because they detonated or went insolvent. A business shutting on bad math is not a domino here. 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. So exchange announcing a shutdown isn't a bottom signal. But an exchange or a fund detonating definitely will be. The last domino is waiting to happen soon.

  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. 🧵

  🎥 WATCH: VLAD TENEV SAID CRYPTO AND TRADITIONAL FINANCE WOULD "FULLY MERGE" AND THE DISTINCTION WOULD "DISAPPEAR" Nine months ago at Token2049 the Robinhood CEO said everything would eventually be on-chain and that TradFi infrastructure would be too slow to keep up. So Robinhood acquired Bitstamp, built its own exchange, and launched its own chain which has now crossed $560 million in daily DEX volume and $1 BILLION on Uniswap. "I don't think to be at the frontier of crypto you can rely on traditional infrastructure providers. They'll get there eventually, but it'll take a very long time."

  🚨 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.

  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.

  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.
