  @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

  $22 billion contributed by Bitstamp notional volumes. On extended margin. The book surged to a record $21.6 billion, representing an aggressive 127% increase Yoy. Yikes. Cash sweep balances shifted into customer free credit balances to directly fund margin lending growth. 2/

  Could Lighter overtake Hyperliquid if all the stars align? Let's say clarity act passes, Robinhood keeps Lighter as its perp engine, 28m users (Americans and EU++) start trading perps on crypto and stocks, what does $lit actually earn from that? After writing this article, debunking a few takes and getting quite deep into the situation, it's more complex than it seems. Best case I could build is $500m - 1b a year vs ~$90M today with assumptions of: - $10b/day volume × 365 = $3.65t/year × 0.5-1bp = $180 - 365M. - $25b/day × 365 = $9.1t/year × 0.5-1bp = $455 - 910m. Hence "$500m-1b best case" (everything is forecast and assumptions so very rough). So it indeed looks juicy, but let's get back to reality. Lighter doesn't charge retail anything, that's their model, they earn from premium accounts (the pros and MMs), around 1bp (DefiLlama fees ÷ volume), while Hyperliquid takes 2-3bps in fees on the same volume. Lighter is the club with free entry for the mass, but the bar makes its money from the VIP tables. Packed club, but the bill only rings on one table, ~1bp realized take vs 2-3bps for hyperliquid that charges everyone at the door. Second problem, and honestly the one that keeps me up on this trade, why would Robinhood let $1B a year walk out the door to another company? They already own Bitstamp, they already own a CFTC-licensed derivatives entity, spent a decade proving they'd rather internalize order flow economics than share them, PFOF is literally their invention, they have the distribution and users. The moment US perps get legal and the prize becomes real, the build vs buy question will be properly analyzed. Vlad advising Lighter and the Ventures stake are nice, but nice wont stop a broker from vertical integration when 9 to 10 figs are on the table. Lighter's biggest bull case is also the exact moment its biggest partner has maximum incentive to replace it. And before the .hl crew celebrate, clarity cuts both ways. Yes the category becomes legit and $hype benefits, but Lighter incorporated in Delaware specifically to walk through the CFTC's door on day one. Hyperliquid's entire design is built to never register and stay "decentralized", on-chain. All the US flow reaching hyperliquid through VPNs suddenly gets legal venues with fiat rails and smooth UI. Will people use it and switch platform? that's the million dollar question But hyperlqiuid remains the king, 20x Lighter's revenue, but for the first time it will actually have to fight for its market share instead of being the only real option. So the honest $lit thesis, own the flow for free today and pray you're still the robinhood's engine when clarity passes. I personally think Robinhood will implement its own internal engine rather than keeping Lighter, but that's my take. It's a patience trade with a betrayal risk attached, but could be one of the most asymmetric there is 🥂

  bitcoin:native BTC/USD aVWAPs update - Bitstamp. See previous post. At that moment, we could not have a bottom confirmation yet. Price was at the point where it was seeing the first reaction from the 2026 VWAP. In the meantime, price made another low below 60K, followed by an aggressive move up. It looks similar to what happened in 2022. It is just an interesting similarity, which still does not guarantee the bottom as long as price does not reclaim 83K as support.

  🚨 🇪🇺 The EU’s MiCA deadline is just 2 weeks away. • Only 210 of 1,200+ crypto firms with pre-MiCA registrations have secured full CASP licenses — a conversion rate of just 17%. • Kraken, Coinbase, Bitstamp, OKX, Crypto. com & Bitpanda are licensed. • $USDC & EURC are MiCA-compliant. ❌ $USDT remains outside EU-regulated markets. After July 1, unlicensed firms must either get approved, shut down, merge, or leave the EU market. 🚨

  @AlenBarb @TheBTCTherapist Bitstamp was great back in 2013, but now it takes them three months to verify a deposit of Bitcoin I bought from them, which I had simply stored on a Ledger. Ever since they were acquired by Robinhood, their customer support has been abysmal.

  I must say - the purchase was on a premium for wonderfi shareholders; the introduction of competition for brokerage products, esp w 0 trading fees, is a net positive for consumers; maybe wonderfi CEO just didn’t want to show up after being abducted, so they used the bitstamp guy. But I just personally definitely had a gut reaction when he said “happy Canada Day” on stream. It also did not help to come at a time where Canada is seeking economic independence from the US, particularly from USD denominated import export demand, and our car manufacturing sector got hammered in Ontario by the current US government’s tariffs on automobiles. I’m clearly nitpicking here, as the team has done excellent work, and I particularly loved Hilary’s section, filled with actual product updates from top to bottom. All in all, I just hope they don’t stream a British officer to announce things for Australia on January 26 in 2027.

  $Robinhood is pushing crypto to UK users through Bitstamp.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 What did actually happen? 1. Acquisition: Robinhood closed a $200M deal to buy Bitstamp in June 2025. Bitstamp is the world's longest-running crypto exchange, founded in 2011. 2. UK Rollout: Robinhood UK customers can now explore crypto assets directly in the Robinhood app — prices, charts, watchlists. 3. How it works: All actual trading, transfers, and staking still happen on `Bitstamp UK Limited`, not inside the Robinhood UK app. Robinhood UK itself doesn't provide crypto services. 4. The catch right now: You can't use funds from your Robinhood account to buy crypto on Bitstamp yet. The accounts are separate. And Robinhood UK app still doesn't support direct crypto trading. Why Bitstamp? Bitstamp gives Robinhood instant global infrastructure: - 50+ licenses including UK/EU/US - Institutional business and deep liquidity - Spot exchange, staking, lending, crypto-as-a-service - Branded now as "Bitstamp by Robinhood" Robinhood's goal: expand outside the US and get into institutional crypto. CEO Vlad Tenev said "Our work is just beginning". What's next? Robinhood is integrating Bitstamp into Robinhood Legend with Smart Exchange Routing. They also plan to migrate Bitstamp by Robinhood assets to Robinhood directly, with no transfer fees. From Feb 1, 2027 Bitstamp by Robinhood will be view/sell/withdraw only. So for UK users today, you can track crypto in the Robinhood app, but to actually trade you still go through Bitstamp UK. #Robinhood

  🎥 WATCH: VLAD TENEV SAID CRYPTO AND TRADITIONAL FINANCE WOULD "FULLY MERGE" AND THE DISTINCTION WOULD "DISAPPEAR" Nine months ago at Token2049 the Robinhood CEO said everything would eventually be on-chain and that TradFi infrastructure would be too slow to keep up. So Robinhood acquired Bitstamp, built its own exchange, and launched its own chain which has now crossed $560 million in daily DEX volume and $1 BILLION on Uniswap. "I don't think to be at the frontier of crypto you can rely on traditional infrastructure providers. They'll get there eventually, but it'll take a very long time."
