  @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

  With 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, LayerZero, 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. 🤝

  @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

  @susan_susankeir We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused regarding your issue We’re reviewing your XLM transfer logs for missing ledger confirmations. Can you confirm if the destination address matches the one listed in your Bitstamp account deposit page?

  🤔 SUPPLY SHOCK INCOMING. #ripple $xrp #crypto Binance: XRP reserves dropped from ~2.85 bil to ~2.24 bil XRP. Upbit: From over 6 bil down to barely 1 billion XRP. Bitstamp: Shrank from ~50 mil to just 9.8 mil XRP. Bybit and Bitfinex: Each saw tens of millions drained

  @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.

  @Bitstamp Absolutely hopeless never put your crypto with bitstamp worst customer service ever . Have held my assets hostage for weeks over address verification that they decided needed renewal. Never put your money with them if ever want to access it ever again .

  @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.

  @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 #CryptoCommunity

  @Bitstamp All customers need to look at Reddits complaints about withdrawals. Bitstamp needs to be sued for jerking people around. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE OF ANY EXCHANGE. Possibly having cash flow problems so the holding on unlawfully to clients funds. IS THIS ANOTHER FTX COMING DOWN PIKE!!! Don’t use Bitstamp!!!

  @Bitstamp I tried to withdraw from Bitstamp to my wallet several times today and I was not able because i got the error “Not a valid integer”. What does it mean? I tried with different amounts

  @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.

  @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

  @Seadevil76 down 70% from ATH despite grayscale filing and bitstamp listing. 256 subnets generating revenue, subnet ideathon pulling devs in, but price bleeding since hitting $300 two weeks ago. the gap between fundamentals and price action is getting wider. market already priced in the news or something else is holding it back.

  @Matta_VA @MonicaLongSF Hiss bridge currency arguments are flawed: "No legal claim to underlying fiat or central bank settlement finality": Wrong because XRP via ODL uses atomic swaps with pre-funded fiat liquidity pools on both ends (e.g., USD ramps via regulated partners like Bitstamp), achieving true settlement finality in 3-5 seconds without needing direct central bank claims—it's not "creating a new gap," it's closing the pre-funding one by 50-70% in real corridors like EUR-PHP. "Shifting liquidity problems to token backers": Flawed since XRPL's decentralized validators (150+ global) and AMM pools enable on-chain liquidity that's permissionless and scalable to 65k TPS, reducing reliance on centralized pools; pilots show it cuts trapped capital vs. SWIFT's nostro/vostro accounts, not just relocates it. "Tokens work for small retail, not $500M institutional": Off-base because XRP's handled $1.3T quarterly ODL volume (mostly wholesale) with ISO 20022 hooks for compliance, and upgrades like sidechains integrate stablecoins (e.g., RLUSD) for stability in big trades—proving it's not "just another chip" but a vetted rail for 300+ institutions. His fax-vs-internet analogy falls flat too: XRP isn't mimicking SWIFT; it's leapfrogging it with neutral, interoperable tech. Classic incumbent shade. Scared man. Very scared.

  @Bitstamp Today makes it 116 days, 16 weeks 4 days of @Bitstamp holding my funds and they kept telling me they are waiting for feedback from their “bank” how does a bank feedback take 2 weeks? Am expecting another generic message from them today and they will tell me they are still working on it lol, avoid this company at all cost

  Bitstamp - I reported missing crypto in my portfolio now i have found a button on the bitstamp dashboard which, when I press it, returns the missing crypto. The button was unknown to me previously. My problem is solved, the missing crypto has reappeared.

  @Bitstamp @BitstampSupport Ticket #BIT-2261402 Still waiting! It’s ridiculous! You have no legit basis to withhold the funds of your customers like that. I’ve now read dozens of the same messages from other customers, proving this is how you operate. UNACCEPTABLE for a simple refund issue!

  @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.
