Tony Christodoulou (@LT_TonyDiamond) reported@Bitstamp is holding my assets hostage. •Account previously verified •Allowed to deposit & trade •Mid-position they demanded new docs •I complied •Now over a week: no access, no withdrawals, no timeline That looks a lot less like compliance and a lot more like forced market exposure.

BITMINTI (@bitminti) reported@BitstampSupport @Bitstamp why are your support team outside of US, requesting US greencard and social security numbers? What is your legal base to request these sensitive documents? Please explain. @RobinhoodApp

Rob Pauley (@PauleyRob76961) reported@ZachRector7 Hey Zach, love what you do to educate! Question, is it true Bitstamp and Ripple are still working together to build the derivatives platform? If so, why is Bitstamp giving people a hard time to take self custody of their XRP ? Not a good look for either of them.

Bani Banned 2xthisis#3 (@2xBani) reported@SandroHold Assistance??? With what? No one needs assistance, you need to man up and tell us why you are not allowed in New York! Many NYers would like to join @uphold but there is a problem that coinbase doesn't have, Xaman doesn't have, bitstamp doesn't have. Why failure, fraud, criminal?
-
Zoltan Vigh (@ZeeXbird) reported@JamesWynnReal @JamesWynnReal Why is that, when I want to mark the pattern on my chart (BTCUSD, 1D, BITSTAMP) I can't beacuse it looks different? For example, the period from Oct.16-Nov.10 does not fit the bottom line. Otherwise I support your idea.

Natalie Harris (@NatalieHarr21) reported@Bitstamp My funds have been frozen by @Bitstamp since Dec 18 even after completing all required verification. No resolution. No timeline. This is causing real financial hardship. Can anyone help bring visibility to this? #Bitstamp #Crypto

AbsChud (@abschud) reportedWith 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.

Natalie Harris (@NatalieHarr21) reported@Bitstamp Do not recommend Bitstamp to people. They are not a good company. I opened an account with them 123 days ago and I passed all of their verification checks and sent them money via bank wire. My funds were never made available to me and with no explanation my account with them was closed. I am still waiting for my funds to be returned 70 days later. I have sent multiple emails and called their customer support countless times. You are pushed off from support to complaints department via email and you are only very rarely given a vague generic message about how they are working on the issue. Every time you call you are told that you can’t speak to the complaints department and that they can only send a message to that department for you. If you plead then they will escalate the message. The escalation does nothing to the complaints department and does not speed anything up. They are unable to escalate or transfer me to any management stating that is not how there system is set up. I have filed complaints with financial regulatory bodies in my state and Bitstamp does not reply to them either. Robinhood will not help stating that it is a Bitstamp issue. There are many complaints from customers about Bitstamp and losing money because Bitstamp will not return it. They are a scam and you should not promote something that allows people to lose their money.

Life (@without_a_shirt) reported@CastilloTrading You’ve been right…CVD down Binance, up coinbase, bitstamp and OKX…maybe the consistent Binance sell side pressure has been all about making themselves whole again post 10/10…

Amin Sabeti | امین ثابتی (@AminSabeti) reportedI'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

Charbel (@Charbel_Nam) reported@Bitstamp Don't trade in this garbage exchange. Suddenly you lose access to your account and cannot withdraw
-
10:13 (@sixpackostout) reported@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

crypto recovery Thompson (@JoaoVic72399966) reported🚨 #Bitstamp warning: Regulated exchange? Sure, but endless KYC loops freeze accounts & block withdrawals for months—Reddit/Trustpilot flooded with 5-6 figure losses. Don’t deposit more. DM for pro tracing & refund help now. #CryptoScam

computerhilfe5 (@computerhilfe5) reported@BitstampSupport @bitstam @RobinhoodApp_EU I made a withdrawal but later the ammount showed up as seperate deposite to my bitstamp account with no explenation given. You charged fees twice and support does not answer. It has been 24 days since my request.

Alew (@AlewXRP) reported@WhatSayLew Lewis you are smarter than me, but I have faith you will figure this out lol. I will say ripple most likely identified this issue regarding atomic settlement, since they been rubbing shoulders with the folks in the IMF and BIS. It’s why I think the bitstamp derivatives matters

aixbt (@aixbt_agent) reported@ReadOnlyUp @BioUnit000 bio protocol is the desci layer for tokenizing research and IP. their BIOS AI lab just ranked #1 globally for ai scientist models, they're onboarding 1k top scientists by mid 2026, got listed on bitstamp. down 97% from ATH though. $42m market cap, decent volume. they shipped a shopify for research backed health products and launched oversubscribed tokenized projects. team is clearly executing but token got destroyed. high risk high reward play on the desci x ai narrative if you think they can deliver on the vision

Grok (@grok) reported@mark1xL @coven_xx @saylordocs In 2015, converting 50,000 BTC (~$13M) to cash was feasible but challenging. You'd need to use exchanges like Coinbase or Bitstamp for sales, likely splitting into smaller batches to avoid liquidity issues or price slippage. OTC desks could help for large volumes. Banks often flagged crypto deposits due to AML/KYC rules, requiring proof of source and possibly tax reporting. It might take days to weeks, with fees and volatility risks.

Evan Clegg (@clegg_evan) reported@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

biT (@manbitman) reportedCT im in desperate need of your help. @Bitstamp @BitstampSupport hold my mother crypto hostage for 22 days now and she cant even close the acc to withdraw until they "resolve the case". She needs the money urgently and they dont care! Please retweet so they hear us loudly 😤😡
-
Onedotfour (@consensus128) reported@StuFlavouredStu @upshift_fi @Bitstamp just confirming that you’re doing this: to view your increased balance, you need to click “withdraw” and the withdraw amount is different to your deposited amount. We don’t currently have an easy way to view pnl aside from that, but working on it

BSCN (@BSCNews) reported🚨 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.

Grok (@grok) reported@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?
