  @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.

  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.

  @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.

  Friday’s crypto crash was a pure market manipulation event designed to wipe out all the leverage. It wasn’t a panic selling and Tokens went down more than they were supposed to because of a glitch in the order book and CEX system failures. Bitcoin crashed to $102k on Binance but it held $108k on Bitstamp. Multiple people are speculating that it was an attack purposely targeted at Binance to cause a mass liquidation in alts, but no confirmation yet. Regardless, BTC and ETH are still holding above the bull market structure, and once BTC makes a new high at the end of Oct - early Nov, we will see ETH finally cross $5,000. Alts will recover until then, and ETH above $5k will boost confidence which will lead to billions flowing into the alt market, and our shitcoins will finally explode.

  @Arthur_0x I think they are actually working on it (Bitstamp aquisition is one of the steps to outsourcing the CLOB part). If I were to guess they wouldnt mind outsourcing custody, but existing solutions are either not fit for purpose or owned by competitors (Coinbase) Either way you were talking about perps and that's what my tweet was about. Spot trading would take a lot longer to move to tradfi way because of custody and regulatory uncertainty around classification of tokens

  MT GOX MOVES 10,422 BITCOIN WORTH $739 MILLION TO UNMARKED ADDRESS IN LARGEST SINGLE TRANSFER IN MONTHS The Mt. Gox rehabilitation estate moved 10,422.65 bitcoin worth approximately $739 million from cold storage to two new addresses at 04:47 UTC on Tuesday, recorded in Bitcoin block 952,072, marking the estate’s largest single on-chain transfer in months and arriving with creditors watching closely ahead of an October 31, 2026 final repayment deadline. Of the total, 10,306.35 BTC worth approximately $730.8 million was sent to a previously unseen address beginning with 14FEEM, with no prior transaction history. A smaller 116.3 BTC was routed simultaneously to a known Mt. Gox hot wallet. A second transaction at approximately 06:46 UTC moved another 116.3 BTC to a separate address, along with a small test amount to a Bitstamp cold wallet. Blockchain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence data showed all transferred bitcoin remained marked as unspent, with no funds reaching exchange order books in the hours following the transfer. Mt. Gox still holds approximately 34,504 BTC valued at roughly $2.43 billion, the largest unresolved holding tied to any failed cryptocurrency exchange. Trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi extended the repayment deadline twice, with a Tokyo court approving the most recent extension in October 2025 pushing the cutoff to October 31, 2026 due to incomplete creditor procedures. The rehabilitation process began distributing coins to approximately 19,500 creditors in mid-2024 through partner exchanges including Kraken and Bitstamp. Creditors who held claims since the 2014 collapse acquired their coins at prices far below current market levels, meaning any eventual distribution creates potential selling pressure. Tuesday’s transfer is the estate’s largest since internal consolidation movements in late 2025, none of which preceded confirmed selling. On-chain data confirmed no exchange inflows attributable to the Mt. Gox wallets in the hours after Tuesday’s transfer, consistent with prior administrative consolidations. The movement arrived during a sharp Bitcoin sell-off already driven by record ETF outflows, Strategy’s first disclosed Bitcoin sale since 2022, and stalled U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations.

  @sminston_with I liked this video. One pointer, though. You said that the bottom in 2015 was because of the block size war. That is an error. The blocksize war culminated in Aug 2017. The final dip in Jan 2015 was partly due to a hack at Bitstamp

  Looking forward to the exchange announcement for @RaylsLabs this week. My guess is either @Bitstamp or @cryptocom. Bitstamp would signal regulatory alignment and institutional trust. Crypto(.)com would open the door to massive retail access. $RLS momentum primed 🔥

  @Bitstamp @BitstampUK @BitstampSupport what is going on with your platform? I was asked for KYC information, no problem, provided. Then asked for information relating to a recent deposit. No problem provided. Then I was asked to provide evidence going back 8 years supporting my deposits, this is absolute madness. My account is blocked. I can’t withdraw my own funds. I have only ever paid in fiat from 1 account, and repaid to that 1 account. There is no reason to block my account. What you are doing is breaching regulations. I have called every day for 4 days, now all my tickets are gone as well. Nobody answering anything.

  Bitcoin Crashes Under $70K Triggering $800 Million in Crypto Liquidations While stocks keep smashing records, Bitcoin just decoupled hard to the downside and tagged fresh two-month lows. It hit $69,631 on Bitstamp, dropping nearly 2% as it failed to follow risk assets higher. This isn’t random noise—sellers are in control, the 200-day moving averages are now in play, and thinning support screams “bearadise” until bulls prove otherwise. The US-Iran tension is just the excuse; the real story is broken momentum. Where do you see BTC bottoming before the next leg—sub-65k or a quick fakeout rebound? #Bitcoin #BTC

  @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.

  BTC Failed to Reclaim 73K? This Is NOT a Safe Dip-Buying Zone — The Real Risk May Be Just Beginning. Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC has now dropped from the 82.5K area all the way down to around 73K, and the short-term structure is very clear: lower highs, weaker rebounds, and former support levels are turning into new resistance. The most dangerous part is not just the size of the drop. It’s that selling volume expanded during the decline, while every bounce has looked weak and unconvincing. BTC has already lost 78K, 76K, 75K, and 74K one after another. Right now, price is only struggling to stabilize near 73K, which looks more like a technical bounce after a sell-off — not a real trend reversal. Here are the 3 key levels I’m watching next: 1. 72.5K–72.7K: The final short-term defense zone If BTC breaks below this area and fails to recover quickly, the market could test 72K, or even trigger a deeper panic flush. 2. 73.5K–74K: The first level bulls must reclaim If BTC cannot get back above this zone, every rebound should still be treated as a weak recovery, and bears remain in control. 3. 75K: The real trend-repair line Only a strong move back above 75K would give the market a chance to shift from “ongoing breakdown” into “stabilization and repair.” My view is simple: BTC is still bearish for now. 73K is not a safe bottom-fishing zone — it is a danger zone. If 72.5K fails, another wave of accelerated selling could hit fast. Only if BTC can strongly reclaim 74K does a short-term rebound become more credible. Don’t rush to catch a falling knife. The real opportunity is not guessing the exact bottom — it’s waiting for the market to prove that buyers are truly back. Do you think BTC breaks 72K first, or rebounds back above 74K first? Drop your view below — and follow me for the next key BTC update. Not financial advice.

  @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.

  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.
