  @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!!!

  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.

  🎥 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."

  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.

  Ares Trader (@T18431Ares) reported 12 minutes ago

  Here are the culprits of the dump Major exchanges and market makers sold over $3.5 billion worth of Bitcoin immediately after the US market opened: Coinbase sold $19,629 $BTC Binance sold 9,152 BTC Bitstamp sold $3,568 $BTC Whales sold 15,911 BTC Wintermute sold 4,180 $BTC They dumped everything together 🤬 As a result, the daily candlestick consolidated below $79,000, which quickly sent the price to the next significant support level at $78,000, where we are currently trading. Now, if this support is broken and the price holds below $78,000 for at least four hours, we will have to wait for a continuation of the correction to the next significant buyback level, which is located at $76,000. Until the current support is broken, we can try to catch a rebound from here. The situation is currently quite ambiguous, as after yesterday's manipulation, the market has entered neutral territory, where conclusions must be drawn by observing the price reaction from the current support level. #Trading #Bitcoin

  Don’t Get Fooled by This Bounce — The Real Risk for BTC May Be Just Starting Don’t rush to call this green candle a reversal. Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC is now trading around $77,300. Yes, it bounced from the $76K area, but the real problem is: It still has not reclaimed the key resistance zone. Previously, BTC dumped from above $82K and broke below: $80K $79K $78K That means the short-term structure has shifted from strong upside momentum into weak recovery mode. Right now, there is only one key zone to watch: $77.5K–$78K. If BTC can reclaim this area, the bounce may continue toward $78.8K–$79.5K. But if BTC fails here and gets rejected again, this move is likely just a technical bounce — or even a bull trap. The most dangerous signal is this: $78K used to be support. Now it has become resistance. That is one of the clearest signs of a weak structure. My view is direct: BTC is not in a safe reversal yet. It is bouncing inside a danger zone. There are only two scenarios from here: Reclaim $78K: The bounce can continue, with targets around $79K–$79.5K. Fail below $78K: The bounce may fail, and price could retest $76.5K–$76K. If $76K breaks again, the next stop could be $75K–$75.5K. So don’t get fooled by one green candle. The real signal is not that BTC bounced. The real signal is: Can it reclaim the key levels it just lost? My view is simple: $77.5K–$78K is the short-term life-or-death zone. Fail to reclaim it, and this bounce is a trap. Reclaim it, and BTC may finally start repairing the structure. Do you think BTC reclaims $78K first, or retests $76K? Follow me if you want my next breakdown on the confirmation signals above $78K. I’ll keep tracking this 4H chart. Not financial advice. This is only my personal opinion.

  @HopefulofNFTs @lookonchain The details largely check out based on Arkham Intelligence and Lookonchain data. The whale accumulated ~154,076 ETH since 2017 at ~$517 avg cost. Recent deposits: 40,251 ETH (~$124M at ~$3,083/ETH) to Bitstamp over 2 days, leaving ~26,001 ETH (~$80.16M). Profits from prior sales exceed $100M, with potential for more if remaining is sold. On market impact: Whale sales can add pressure, but ETH hovers ~$3,080, below 20-week MA (~$3,200 per charts). Thread replies note support at $2,800-$3,000.

  words like “BTC just saw massive exchange outflows” you’ve seen this tweet a hundred times. the problem isn’t the data. it’s that netflow is one of the most misunderstood metrics in crypto. ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ here’s how to actually read it netflow measures one thing: the net amount of an asset moving into or out of known exchange wallets over a given period. that’s it. it’s a balance-sheet metric, doesn’t need to measure intent or predict price. at best, it’s coincident-to-lagging data. By the time a trend is obvious on a CryptoQuant chart, the wallets involved usually made those decisions days (or even weeks) earlier. this is where most people get trapped. netflow looks incredibly clean in hindsight because you’re viewing it after the market has already moved. in real time? flows are noisy, wallets labels get updated and large transfers get reclassified. more often than not, netflow confirms a move instead of calling it. ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ another misconception is that, “Sustained outflows = bullish.” not necessarily. outflows only tell you coins left exchange-labeled wallets. that can happen because of: • long-term accumulation (bullish) • investors moving into self-custody after a scare (neutral to bearish) • custody reshuffling by exchanges (operational) • OTC settlements moving directly into cold storage after the trade (already sold) all these but still the same chart, but completely different narratives. a good example: BTC recently closed its third straight quarterly loss, the longest streak since the 2022 bear market. during that stretch, spot ETFs recorded eight consecutive weeks of outflows before finally turning positive in early July. if exchange outflows alone were enough to predict a rally, that drawdown doesn’t play out the way it did. the broader rotation into AI equities mattered more than a single on-chain metric. ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ now, you want to separate real accumulation from custody noise? ask yourself these questions: • is the movement concentrated in one or two wallets, or spread across many? • did the coins move to a known custodian or an entirely new address? • does spot trading volume support what the balances are suggesting? • could this simply be an exchange-to-exchange transfer mislabeled as an outflow? context changes everything. just like how Robinhood launched the Robinhood Chain recently, while integrating Bitstamp deeper into its institutional infrastructure. pricing. settlement. lending. that kind of backend migration can trigger massive “outflows” across on-chain dashboards. nothing changed about market conviction. It was infrastructure, not sentiment. the same thing happens whenever exchanges rotate cold wallets, restructure custody, or onboard institutional partners. you can see the opposite effect with SOL. spot solana ETFs have attracted over $1B in cumulative inflows while posting gains on every trading day in early July. at the same time, SOL still trades roughly 57% below its October launch-period price. weekly active addresses also jumped about 77% in just two weeks. flow data and price don’t always move together. accumulation can happen long before the chart reflects it. ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ here’s the framework: netflow tells you where balances moved. it doesn’t tell you why they moved or what price will do next. build your thesis using order flow, derivatives positioning (OI, funding), wallet clustering, and market structure. then use netflow to validate that thesis. if a netflow post ignores the difference between custody movements and actual selling pressure, it’s only telling half the story.

  Patrick (@TemptInvest) reported 54 minutes ago

  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.

  4/ Treasury: $3.47B, and 100% of it is XLM. SDF holds 15.7B XLM as of 1 July. Down from 17.3B in December. That's a token drawdown of 8.8% in six months, roughly 255M XLM a month leaving the mandate. In dollar terms it looks flat, because XLM went from ~$0.20 to ~$0.22. Price recovery masked a real 1.53B token release. No stablecoin buffer. No BTC or ETH. No diversified reserve. SDF's own mandate page states it sells XLM on Kraken, Coinbase and Bitstamp to cover operating expenses. Runway is roughly five years at this pace. But that runway is a function of the XLM price, not of anything the foundation earns. Grade: B-
