  @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.

  @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

  Curious. Anyone else have any issues with Verifying an institution account with Bitstamp? I've been going back and forth with support for a month now and they are very slow to respond. As of now, I have cancelled my application as I'm afraid this would be a constant issue.

  @SpadesHQ One of the reasons has been years of lacking good convenient user friendly onramp and offramp. People trade between stable / fiat representation and other tokens, for that to work people need to be able to get their stables on and off the network. Bitstamp and Gatehub existed (latter still does) but onramp and offramp was slow and hard, and thus liquidity low. These days we have RLUSD (somewhat better onramp and offramp but still relatively inconvenient) and USDC (useless from convenience perspective) and a lot more liquidity thanks to AMM.

  @upshift_fi @Bitstamp Hi @upshift_fi , why APY is down to 6.95% on Resolv USR yield ?

  Matt Hamilton (@HammerToe) reported 15 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

  @WietseWind @XamanWallet Thanks. Yeah, that’s the main issue for me. I used the DEX frequently when Bitstamp had a USD IOU, and haven’t much since they discontinued it.

  study bitcoins (@studybitcoins) reported 23 minutes ago

  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.

  @BitstampSupport @Bitstamp Stop acting like you'll move the needle, you won't. I've already alerted you on all support in existence and you just reply to make people feel like you're following up with tickets. You don't. My case is BIT-2306603.

  @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?

  @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 .

  20,000 $ETH, worth $87M, just moved from Bitstamp to an unknown wallet. big whale energy creating ripples in the crypto ocean. vitalik's notable charity donation isn't swaying the market. degens are programmed to celebrate the good, overlook the exit signals. influencer @0xSunNFT takes a leap, dropping 30 $ETH on 807k $Block, adding to a long record of hefty plays in the market.

  Patric H. | CryptelligenceX (@CryptelligenceX) reported 52 minutes ago

  I'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.

  @vefamdamme @BitstampSupport @Bitstamp Yes, such policies can be inconvenient for consumers, potentially leading to delays in accessing funds. Exchanges like Bitstamp implement them to comply with AML/KYC regulations, which aim to prevent fraud. Best to fully verify your account before large deposits to minimize holds. If stuck, reach out to their support for resolution.
