Parcero (@Onei_Designer) reported@upshift_fi @Bitstamp Hi @upshift_fi , why APY is down to 6.95% on Resolv USR yield ?
-
Grok (@grok) reported@rektspecter @AshCrypto That Bitstamp ETH chart shows thin volume and wild wicks, typical of low liquidity periods where market makers aren't providing tight spreads. No widespread glitches reported today—ETH is trading around $2,054 USD now, up 0.9% in 24h but down 19% weekly. Might just be a quiet trading window.

Patric H. | CryptelligenceX (@CryptelligenceX) reportedI'd like to give you guys a TA update, but here's the problem: $BTC and #Altcoins flash crashed to very different levels on various exchanges. E.g., Bitcoin tapped $100K on Kraken, $107K on Coinbase, $109K on Bitstamp. SUI tapped $0.16 on Kraken, $2 on Coinbase. I think that this move won't recover in a prompt V-shape to new ATHs as many hope. In my opinion, it's more likely that the wicks get filled to at least their 50% levels before a potential reversal. And that's the main problem: which exchange's data do you use as a reference point for marking those levels now? In my opinion, this will take weeks to stabilize. Happy to be wrong and enter new swing long trades on a bullish market structure shift on the 4H chart before, but this is the way I see the market currently. There's no rush to jump into positions already. You can wait for more data (candles) and a clear trend shift.

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.

VibraFinance™⭐️ (@VibraFinance) reported@Bitstamp @BitstampSupport You still can’t read the god damn block chain? You stole my $HBAR and are playing games. It’s been 3 weeks. Anyone who’s thinking about using this exchange, DON’T. They cannot process a simple deposit. It is actually embarrassing.

SL on that will be updated to the 61.8% measured off Oct 6th High of Day down to Oct 10th wick-low (around 116.6k) or wherever the lower low bounces from

switchbacksidecork (@TweeterIsToxic) reported@Bitstamp @RobinhoodApp Not a single post since June 2024. Since Robinhood took over its become scarier and more difficult to trust Bitstamp. Even after all the KYC, its never enough. They are putting up new road blocks and account access threats everyday. Sad to see an OG exchange sink so fast.

XRPScan (@xrpscan) reported@Phillycheepsk8 @UgaMyBuga @SOLOptimus69 Wallet lineage is more of a vanity. Uphold, Coinbase, Bitstamp, et. al. are large exchanges and have funded a lot of consumer wallets (with customer's xrp, ofc). We use activation tree to discover exchange hot/cold wallets. Beyond that, its just something that is good to look at.

Iso Ledger (@JamesDula82) reportedPrivacy coins didn't lose because the technology failed. They lost because it worked. Monero does exactly what it was built to do. Every transaction hidden by default. Sender concealed. Recipient concealed. Amount concealed. Ring signatures. Stealth addresses. Confidential transactions. The architecture makes transaction transparency technically impossible — that's not a flaw in the design, that's the entire point of it. ZCash went further. It built zero-knowledge proofs — a cryptographic system where a transaction can be mathematically verified as valid without revealing a single detail about who sent it, who received it, or how much moved. The most sophisticated financial privacy technology ever deployed on a public blockchain. And that's exactly why both of them are being quietly buried. Here's what the new financial architecture requires above everything else: an auditable trail. The FATF Travel Rule — now law across 85 jurisdictions — requires that every crypto transaction above $1,000 carry the identity of the sender and the recipient, and that this information travel with the payment through every institution in the chain. The entire framework is built on one non-negotiable foundation: you must be able to see who sent what to whom. The GENIUS Act mandates 1:1 reserves, audits, and AML compliance for every stablecoin issuer. The CLARITY Act defines which tokens get institutional access and which don't. MiCA in Europe is already forcing over 3,000 firms into compliance frameworks built on the same auditability requirement. Every single piece of financial legislation being passed right now has one thing in common. You can follow the money. You must be able to follow the money. A protocol designed to make that impossible isn't just non-compliant. It's architecturally incompatible with the entire system being built. The exchanges didn't need to be told twice. Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Huobi, OKX, and Bitstamp all removed or restricted Monero. 73 exchanges delisted it in 2025 alone. The EU is phasing in full custodial bans on privacy coins by 2027. Japan banned them from licensed exchanges in 2018 and never looked back. Dubai banned them from regulated financial zones in early 2026. They didn't ban possession. They didn't need to. They just made sure no regulated platform would touch them — no exchange listing, no institutional custody, no ETF pathway, no on-ramp. You can still own them. You just can't get in or out anywhere that matters. You don't criminalize the exit. You just make sure nobody can use it. And here's what makes this story darker than most people realize. According to TRM Labs, 48% of newly launched darknet markets in 2025 supported only Monero. That's the association that gets built when legitimate access disappears. The technology didn't change. The user base did. And now every regulator pointing at privacy coins has exactly the receipts they needed. The trap was elegant. Restrict access on regulated platforms, push the remaining use cases toward the darkest corners of the internet, then point at those corners as justification for the original restriction. XRP has no privacy layer. Every transaction is publicly visible on the ledger. That's not a compromise. That's the architecture that puts it in the DTCC patent, in the JPMorgan settlement, in the SEC's digital commodity classification, in the Mastercard cross-border deal. The cage needs pipes it can see through. XRP is a pipe you can see through. The privacy coins built walls that couldn't be seen through. And in a system being designed to see everything — walls don't survive. They just become targets. The technology was brilliant. The timing was fatal. We audit the plumbing 🛡

Dr. Radoe (@DrRadoe) reported@PureElliottWave Amazing ! Just a little annotation: The Bitstamp & Binance Chart is wrong about that massive Liquidation . It never fell that deep . Exchanges had some huge problems on that specific date . We didn’t have a 1Minute Candle closing under 1.80 .

Morelandneeded (@Fact2ull) reported@Multisiteltd Not a reflection (SGB's parent ecosystem) confirms SGB n FLR are MiCA-compliant. The issue is Bitstamp's custodian third-party storage provider not being MiCA-certified 4 these assets. Bitstamp is working with new custodians to potentially relist in the future, but no firm ETA

ICO Marketer (@IcoMarketer) reported@Bitstamp If $MEGA gets real liquidity + retail access via Bitstamp by Robinhood, that’s a meaningful step for visibility—now it’s on the project to deliver beyond the hype.

Tolga YILMAZ (@ylmaztlga) reported@MaxCrypto The CVD breakdown makes the picture quite clear: the majority of the sell pressure during this leg down is Binance-driven, while flows on Coinbase, OKX and Bitstamp appear comparatively muted. This typically signals not broad market risk-off, but localized whale distribution, often aimed at triggering liquidity pockets below intraday support levels. Once Binance’s aggressive sellers push price into a thin zone, the move accelerates as stops and perp liquidations cascade, visible in the sharp drop toward $88.9K. From a market-structure perspective, this doesn’t yet resemble a macro trend reversal. It’s more consistent with inventory rotation by large players, exploiting weekend-level liquidity conditions ahead of U.S. close. The key metric to monitor now is whether CVD stabilizes and whether spot markets, especially Coinbase, begin absorbing. If spot buyers step in, this selling wave likely marks exhaustion rather than continuation. A retest of liquidity around $88.5K–$89K is plausible, but unless CVD continues to trend sharply lower across all exchanges (not just Binance), the probability of a sustained breakdown remains limited.

Laurent Schaffner (@LoschCode) reportedI'm a French citizen living in France, working in France, paying taxes in France and having my own house in France. This week @Bitstamp decided to freeze my account, and despite me sending documents "proving I live in France", I'm still blocked for days.
