  💸 Robinhood adds crypto trading to its main UK app Robinhood has started rolling out crypto trading for eligible UK users. You can now buy and sell more than 50 digital assets directly in the main investing app - alongside stocks, options, ISAs, and other products. Crypto trading runs through Bitstamp, the exchange Robinhood acquired last year for $200 million. At launch, Robinhood is offering zero trading fees, no account maintenance fees, and no custody fees. There is a 0.1% FX fee (rising to 0.3% for certain weekend conversions). Robinhood has also introduced an AI feature in the UK (Cortex Digests for Crypto) that analyzes news, market data, and technical indicators to explain - in plain English - what’s driving price moves in individual cryptocurrencies. The service is rolling out this week to eligible customers via Bitstamp UK Ltd.

  @Mellow_ highly unlikely: Bitget, Bybit and Upbit possible: Bitstamp, Probit, Outbit, Bitcom Bitget and Bybit are too big to shut down like that Upbit is the strongest South Korean exchange, so that they won't shut down something like that

  Robinhood has launched a trading service for over 50 types of digital assets, including Bitcoin, through Bitstamp in the UK, and only charges foreign exchange fees without any separate transaction fees. Key competitive advantages include a transparent pricing system and the provision of AI-based market analysis services, and after completing registration with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the service scope has been expanded to include traditional finance and digital assets. However, digital assets are not covered by deposit insurance, and expanded profits and stock price increases are expected through entry into markets outside the United States.

  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-

  @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?

  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?

  Matt Hamilton (@HammerToe) reported 21 minutes ago

  @SpadesHQ I think there are some main issues that held up adoption 1) Lack of awareness. Most people just don't know it exists. And certainly a lot of people not aware of the better experience it has. 2) Lack of central exchange support for issued assets. Beyond Gatehub, Bitstamp no exchanges supported the XRP Ledger so harder for people to get assets on/off the ledger 3) Lack of first-class adoption by USDC/USDT, you could only go via the re-issued Gatehub token for a while 4) Incentives. Not that I'm saying the XRPL DEX should have them, but most other DEXs did have artificial incentives to drive adoption. 5) "Its not Ethereum". It is just different to what a lot of people are first introduced to. Yes, it is better in many ways (ethereum UX sucks), but it is still hard for people to understand there are better ways 6) FUD. A lot of negative association to Ripple by OGs. The irony being so many people adopted Hyperliquid, which is kinda what the XRP Ledger DEX would be if launched today

  Ares Trader (@T18431Ares) reported 31 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

  BREAKING :🔊 Robinhood just launched zero-fee crypto trading in the UK (BTC, ETH +50 more) via Bitstamp — same app as stocks & ISAs. Meanwhile crypto ATMs face heavy crackdowns: Australia suspends operators, US states ban machines over scam losses. The other is shutting down the high-risk cash-to-crypto rails.

  Robinhood Chain since the past week I have been looking into the chain matrices and I was disappointed. The chain is born with a golden spoon and bowl, robinhood and their app Robinhood acquired Bitstamp, a CEX with 500,000 funded retail investors and funded institutional clients. This allowed the company to enter the EU, UK, and US crypto market. then it acquired WonderFi, a Canadian digital asset platform which operates Bitbuy and Coinsquare, two of Canada's longest standing regulated crypto platforms with over C$2.1 billion in assets under management. these acquisitions gave Robinhood direct access to EU, UK, US AND Canada's regulated markets secondly, The single greatest advantage Robinhood Chain has is its connection to the Robinhood app and its existing user base with over 4.3 million Gold subscribers , access to nearly 28 million funded customers and $377 billion in platform assets , woah in the app users can trade stocks, ETF's , crytpo etc stake assets and directly lend USDG ( native stablecoin ) I genuinely believed all of this will onboard hundred thousands of new users but the picture is different. 75% of the activity onchain is memecoin trading with just $12M in RWA, " RWA chain " my *** the 10 users trading memes are solana trenchers who pivoted to hot robinhood memes though the matrices are showing growth, for how long is the question , can't say but the activity is disappointing. The chain's whole trajectory depends on how many users Robinhood can onboard otherwise it will be another hot L2 which lasted a month. lets see what happens

  Crypto has Trillions in assets but still doesn't have a financial data standard. That's a pretty insane infrastructure gap. @KryptosConnect is building the layer to fix it. One API connecting 5,500+ sources across blockchains, exchanges and wallets. - $300M+ tracked daily - 120,000+ connected accounts - Official tax infrastructure partner to @binance UK, @Phemex_official, and Bitstamp by Robinhood. The goal: one clean financial data layer for the entire digital asset economy. 🎦Launch Stream at 12:30 PM UTC and goes live on CyreneAI at 1:30 PM UTC

  Equity Ledger (@equityledger) reported 55 minutes ago

  $HOOD Two segment anomalies justify a paragraph each. Crypto 47% YoY is consistent with industry data, not company-specific weakness. Coinbase's TTM EPS is −53% Robinhood's crypto print is mechanically the retail cycle. The interesting nuance is Bitstamp: $42B in institutional notional in Q1 vs. $24B in retail-app notional. Robinhood now has an institutional crypto venue embedded in the consolidated print, and it carries lower take rates than the retail app but accumulates volume that does not depend on the retail cycle. Over the next 4-6 quarters, as institutional volume normalizes higher (sticky once on-platform) and retail volume mean-reverts off cycle lows, the consolidated crypto line should de-cyclicalize. That is a slow, multi-quarter pattern, not a one-quarter print event. Event contracts +320% YoY at $147M is the most important new line item in the print. This is the lineal successor to crypto in the Robinhood revenue stack. The infrastructure (Rothera DCM) is launching mid-2026 with HOOD as 45% owner of a CFTC-licensed Designated Contract Market. That changes the economics from "we route to MIAXdx and pay a fee" to "we own the venue and capture the spread." If event contracts annualize at $600M+ in 2026 (current Q1 run-rate × 4 = $588M, with seasonal Q3-Q4 typically higher), they replace 50–60% of the crypto revenue lost since the cycle peak, and they do it on infrastructure HOOD owns. The market currently treats this line as a curiosity. In two prints it will be one of the top two narrative drivers.

  Bitcoin is showing a dangerous signal! If 80K fails to hold, the short term may see a sharp drop first. From today’s Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC is now hovering around the $80,400–$80,800 range. On the surface, it looks like high-level sideways movement, but the structure on the right side is already very clear: the previous two attempts to break through 82K–82.5K both failed to hold, followed by consecutive pullbacks. This shows one thing: selling pressure above is heavy, and the bulls are starting to lose momentum on the push higher. My current judgment is very direct: in the short term, I’m looking for a pullback first, not chasing longs. Next, focus only on two levels: First, $80,000. This is the most important defense line for the bulls right now. As long as 80K can still hold, Bitcoin still has a chance to continue building strength and attack 81.5K–82K again. Second, $79,500–$78,800. If 80K breaks, the short term will likely continue to wash downward and test this support zone. This is the real area that decides whether the bulls can continue to stay in control. The most dangerous thing right now is not that it has dropped, but that it keeps failing to break higher at a high level. Many people see BTC still above 80K and think it will definitely continue to push toward 85K. But people who truly read the market do not only look at where price is standing. They look at: Is there continuation after the breakout attempt? Is there support on the pullback? Right now, the answer is very clear: selling pressure above 82K is obvious, and 80K is getting closer to being tested again. So my prediction is: short-term bearish, first watch the risk of 80K breaking. If 80K breaks, I will look toward 79.5K, even 78.8K. If 80K holds strongly and BTC reclaims 81.5K with volume, then it will have a chance to challenge 82K–82.5K again. One-sentence summary: now is not the position to blindly chase higher, but to watch whether the 80K defense line can hold. If it holds, there is still a chance to rebound; if it breaks, the short term will likely first wash down to 79.5K–78.8K. What do you think about this move? Do you think Bitcoin is washing and accumulating above 80K, or preparing to drop back to 78K to find support again? Type your direction in the comments: bullish, type 1; bearish, type 2. In my next post, I will directly break down: can 80K be entered near here? Where are the real entry and stop-loss levels? Follow me if you want to see the next key levels. Don’t wait until the market has already moved, only to realize you were one step too late again. （Personal opinion only, not investment advice.）
