    @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

    @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

    @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.

    @Ian_Warwick @Bitstamp Did it work now for you? I am experiencing the same problem. When reading Reddit, seems like many people face this problem! Really weird and unprofessional from @Bitstamp though…

    Binance is still best CEX from user perspective. Listing choice aside. But truly… - super quick customer support - fast crypto and importantly EUR withdrawals - many chains supported - never asked for additional proof of wealth reports (Bitstamp tortured me for weeks recently) - no weird account closures - low fees Etc etc It’s still the north star for UX for crypto companies.

    @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.

    @RobinhoodApp Why has @Bitstamp, unlike other exchanges that resolve such cases in 2 days, not returned @altugozturk’s recoverable $ETH for 5 years, and how do you view the customer experience this creates?

  • Xppleone
    Xpple One (@Xppleone) reported

    @Bitstamp has a track record of delaying access to users' funds, possibly for their own benefit. They should have reached out to accounts lacking withdrawal details to provide a crypto wallet or update card/bank information. Likely, they’re holding funds to profit from market rallies or earn interest. $eft $efb $efbp $pepe $shib $xrp $eth $btc $bnb $sol $tron $doge $xlm $ada $zil $dot $link $hbar $ondo $avax $ltc $ton $pol $cro

  • BSCNews
    BSCN (@BSCNews) reported

    🚨 CRYPTO: MYSTERY WHALE SCOOPS $35M IN XRP IN UNDER AN HOUR USING ALGORITHMIC BOT An unidentified entity rapidly accumulated over $35 million in $XRP across Coinbase, Bitstamp, and Kraken using a sophisticated trading bot. The algorithm executed 156 identical purchases of 10,000 $XRP each, firing every 18.5 seconds for 48 minutes. Coinbase accounted for $23.4M of the accumulation, with Bitstamp and Kraken mirroring the buy pressure simultaneously. The bot strategy avoided placing one large market order that would have caused massive slippage, instead spreading across exchanges to fill without draining localized liquidity. $XRP is currently trading at $1.32, down 2.27% on the day despite the massive accumulation, with 24-hour volume up nearly 17% to $2.5B.

    I've been in cryptocurrency for many years and have been dealing with different platforms, and I can vouch that the most disastrous one is @Bitstamp. Don't even touch and visit their website, that's my one cent advice. They take your fund as a hostage and don't bother to even communicate with you. @TheFCA

    Amazing service by @Bitstamp… Deposit was made on December 1st. I submitted all the requested documents and the next day received confirmation that everything was approved and my funds were available. In reality, I still can’t access them.

    @JohannKerbrat My funds have been frozen by @Bitstamp since Dec 18 even after completing all required verification. No resolution. No timeline. This is causing real financial hardship. Can anyone help bring visibility to this? #Bitstamp #Crypto

    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.

    14 days without access to my own funds on @Bitstamp. Deposit marked successful, yet no explanation, no ETA, no resolution. This should not happen on a regulated exchange.

    @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 .

  • CryptelligenceX
    Patric H. | CryptelligenceX (@CryptelligenceX) reported

    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.

    @crypt_shprd Why on earth would you use Bitstamp when you have access to exchanges where real volume is taking place? Serious question.
