  Robinhood Is Bringing Crypto Into the Mainstream UK Investment App .@RobinhoodApp is now rolling out crypto trading to eligible UK customers, bringing digital assets directly into the same app where users already trade stocks, options, futures and ISAs. Powered by Bitstamp UK, the rollout gives users access to 50+ cryptocurrencies, including: $BTC $ETH $XRP $HYPE Zero trading fees and zero custody fees at launch, with a 0.1% FX fee for UK customers. Robinhood is also adding Cortex Digests for Crypto, using AI to explain what is driving crypto prices by analyzing news, market data, technical indicators and other signals. This is a major milestone for Robinhood's broader strategy. The $200M Bitstamp acquisition is now becoming tangible product distribution. Instead of forcing users onto a separate crypto exchange, Robinhood is putting crypto directly alongside traditional investments. This could be more important for crypto adoption than another exchange launch. Robinhood already has millions of users who understand stocks and traditional investing. Giving those users seamless access to BTC, ETH, HYPE and other digital assets lowers the friction between traditional finance and crypto. The company isn't simply adding crypto to its app. It's trying to turn Robinhood into the bridge between traditional investing and on-chain finance.

  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?

  EURC just crossed €400 million in circulation. End of 2024 it was around €80 million. Over the past year alone, it's more than doubled. The entire euro stablecoin market was worth about €650 million combined as of June. EURC alone is now past €400 million of that. Visa and Mastercard both settle through it. Listed on five major exchanges: Bitpanda, Bitstamp, Bybit, Coinbase, Kraken. Licensed in France under MiCA since 2024. Euro M2 money supply sits at €16 trillion. Euro stablecoins are still a rounding error of that.

  @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.

  Jaider Hurtado (@BasedJaider) reported 23 minutes ago

  Bitstamp added WLD and JTO this week. Both have been trading on-chain for over two years. A listing tells you a token cleared a compliance desk. It tells you nothing about when the price moved. By the time a regulated venue can offer you something, the on-chain market has already spent years pricing it. Same asset, different spot in the queue. One line buried in the same announcement: unavailable in New York. Access comes with a jurisdiction attached. Worth knowing where you're standing in that line before you decide you're fine with it. Mentioning a token isn't a recommendation. Most launches lose value. High risk. Source: Bitstamp by Robinhood announcement. Save this for the next listing someone calls early.

  Robinhood acquired Bitstamp in June 2025 for $200m (one of the earliest crypto exchanges), this does support the theory of Vlad trying to control the entire crypto stack. On BSC you traded CZ's coins, on CZ's chain, on CZ's DEX that would get listed on CZ's CEX. Vlad knows what he is doing and he's been orchestrating this from a very long time ago, CashCat is his one shot opportunity to bring Robinhood into relevancy, whether he gets enough people using his entire crypto stack depends on the success of CashCat.

  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.

  @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.

  Why @HyperliquidX Should Acquire Gemini: The Regulated HIP-3/4 Deployer in the US Hyperliquid is engaging with the CFTC/SEC to enable U.S.-regulated companies to offer perpetual futures that trade and settle on its public blockchain. I think Hyperliquid should take that ambition one step further: Acquire a regulated U.S. platform like Gemini and turn it into the de facto regulated HIP-3 and HIP-4 venue in the U.S. Gemini went public in September 2025 at a $3.3B valuation. Today, it trades at roughly $450M, down more than 85% from its IPO valuation. The core business is clearly struggling. Gemini is too small to compete effectively with the major U.S. exchanges for spot or derivatives flow. It has no meaningful liquidity moat and limited crypto-native distribution. The company has already started diversifying toward its credit card and prediction markets businesses. More telling is that Gemini is in outright shrinking mode. It has wound down its UK, EU, and Australia operations, cut headcount roughly 40% from peak to about 402 employees, and guided to lower compensation and technology spend for the year. Assets on platform fell from $18.2B to $8.4B year over year and spot volume dropped 66%. This is a company retreating to its core and cutting burn. But what looks like a challenged standalone business could be a strategic asset at a fire-sale price. For roughly $450M, Hyperliquid could acquire Gemini's entire U.S. regulatory stack, which I think could be worth ~$200M on its own: - NYDFS Trust Charter: custody + New York exchange authority (2015) - DCM: Gemini Titan, CFTC-regulated derivatives venue (Dec. 2025) - DCO: Gemini Olympus, CFTC clearing license (Apr. 2026) - FCM: in progress, completing the CFTC derivatives stack - MTLs: money-transmitter licenses across nearly all U.S. states - Broker-dealer: rails for regulated equities For context, @krakenfx's parent paid up to $550M for Bitnomial, effectively acquiring a regulatory and derivatives infrastructure asset with little operating business attached. Gemini's entire market cap is now below that. Yes, Hyperliquid would inherit a business currently losing roughly $30–40M per quarter operationally. But it would also acquire a meaningful operating footprint: - 580K monthly transacting users (Q2'26) - 1.72M lifetime transacting users - $8.4B of assets on platform - $3.8B quarterly spot volume - $3.1B institutional / -= $0.7B retail - $45.5M quarterly revenue, or ~$180M annualized - 106K active card users - ~$485M quarterly card spend and ~$220M of receivables - A regulated prediction-markets business with 27K+ traders and 225M+ contracts since launch At a $450M valuation, that's roughly $290 per funded customer. For comparison, @Robinhoodapp paid roughly $400 per funded customer for Bitstamp, despite acquiring about half the revenue and no comparable U.S. federal license stack. Kraken paid roughly $790 per funded user for NinjaTrader. And Gemini's users already hold an average of roughly $14.5K of assets on platform. In other words, you could argue that the regulatory stack alone goes a long way toward underwriting the purchase price, while the users, assets, revenue, card business, and prediction markets come on top. The most interesting part is that Hyperliquid could potentially finance the acquisition without touching a single burned HYPE token. The community reserve holds roughly 389M HYPE. Spending ~7.9M HYPE at $70 would represent approximately $550M — just 2.0% of the reserve, under 1% of max supply, and roughly 3% of HYPE's ~$18.5B circulating market cap — enough to acquire Gemini outright at a ~20% premium to its current market cap. Hyperliquid could then redirect a portion of protocol buybacks toward rebuilding the reserve. At the current fee run rate, the reserve could potentially be replenished within 12–18 months. The strategic logic is bigger than simply buying an exchange. Hyperliquid would be buying the regulatory bridge between HIP-3/4 and the U.S. market. Gemini could become one of Hyperliquid's HIP-3 and HIP-4 markets, the regulated U.S. deployer, handling KYC, custody, fiat rails, brokerage, clearing, and compliance while the L1 provides the underlying market infrastructure, liquidity, and onchain settlement. Mechanically, this transaction is far simpler than most public-company M&A. Gemini's dual-class structure gives Class B shares ten votes each, and the Winklevoss twins hold all of them, roughly 94.7% of total voting power. It is a Nasdaq-designated controlled company. There is no proxy fight, no activist interloper, no drawn-out process. Board approval and a majority of voting power both run through two people. The entire negotiation is whether Cameron and Tyler want to convert a controlling stake in a declining exchange into a meaningful HYPE position and the distinction of bringing Hyperliquid onshore. On structure, the buyer wouldn't be the protocol or the foundation directly. NYDFS probabl wants a US entity with named officers, not an offshore foundation. The path is a Delaware HoldCo, funded by the Hyper Foundation but legally distinct, that acquires Gemini and keeps the regulated subsidiaries intact. The L1 stays a separate permissionless layer that never touches a US customer. Polymarket already ran this playbook. Offshore, non-KYC, with a CFTC settlement on its record, it bought QCEX (a licensed DCM/DCO) for $112M in July 2025, ring-fenced it as a US entity, and relaunched onshore in December. Hyperliquid starts from a better position: no enforcement history, US users geofenced, and active dialogue with both agencies. Hyperliquid generates substantial cash flow and sits on an enormous treasury. It should be much more aggressive about deploying both strategically. let's stop the buy back and burns and play offense.

  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. 🍌

  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.

  Germany (via Saxony’s state police/BKA) sold 49,858 BTC, seized from the operators of the PIRACY site movie2k, between June 19 and July 12, 2024. Average sale price was ~$57,900/BTC, netting roughly $2.89 billion. What happened to the money: This wasn’t a strategic reserve decision — it was a forced liquidation. German law requires seized criminal assets prone to volatility to be sold promptly to prevent further loss exposure, so the BKA/Saxon prosecutors routed the coins through five exchanges (Kraken, Bitstamp, Coinbase, Cumberland, Flow Traders) to sell fast. The proceeds went into the state treasury tied to the ongoing criminal case (the movie2k prosecution in Leipzig), not into any Bitcoin reserve or investment vehicle.

  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.
