  @solidintel_x Luxembourg again. Coinbase, Bitstamp, now Ripple. EU’s Delaware is working overtime.

  5) Bitstamp price hit $76,003, down $1,370 (-1.77%). An intraday rejection below $77K triggered a "mechanical breakdown": stop-loss activation below $77K, trend-following algorithms switching to short, leveraged long liquidations, and panic amplified by negative news.

  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.

  Ironically, the more 'compliant' the exchange, the more I worry about the problems they'll cause me. Bitstamp bombarded me with extra SoF documents and wallet address verifications. Want to switch to Coinbase but worried it'll be the same or worse. How common are proof-of-wealth / source-of-funds requests on Coinbase these days? Coinbase already closed my account once. Since creating a new one I worry to actually use it. Btw Binance, Bybit, and OKX (before it moved to OKX EU).... not a single issue since 2017. CS is great, no extra documentation requests, just KYC doc updates. But Binance has been shady with their listings, pumps & dumps etc. Not really a fan anymore. Also for fiat in/out, banks probably prefer Coinbase... Is Kraken any better? Their fiat deposit limits are relatively low and they won't raise them for me. Not a great sign. Thoughts?

  Daily Market Report #756 It’s black Friday. Red sea again, deeper than yesterday. So much news that it is hard to even know where to start. My daily buy on BTC and ETH triggered again at these prices. I said it yesterday, and it keeps being true: You always get a chance to get in deeper. I held my DCA above $70K, stacked everything below, and the market just keeps handing out lower entries. I am not happy the market is bleeding, but I am happy I stayed disciplined for it. Bitcoin weekly RSI dropped to 19, the lowest since the December 2022 bear market bottom. The last time Bitcoin was this oversold on the weekly was the literal bottom of the last bear market. The Zcash story is the one that stings most this morning. ZEC crashed 33% overnight to $398. Zooko disclosed a critical counterfeiting vulnerability in the Orchard pool that could have allowed unlimited undetectable ZEC minting. They shipped an emergency fix, but the damage to confidence is done. A privacy coin is only worth anything if the privacy actually works, and a counterfeiting bug is the worst possible kind of flaw for that thesis. Monero is down 8% to $331 in sympathy, but with no bug of its own. This is exactly why the Monero camp says boring and battle-tested beats clever and new. Gold $4,448. Silver $72.79. Oil $93, still hovering near $100 all week. US oil reserves are at the lowest level since 2004. Iran says there is no tangible progress in peace talks. Israel is continuing Lebanon operations despite the ceasefire. North Korea unveiled a nuclear fuel facility. South Africa’s court ruled Bitcoin is money and capital, a real legal milestone buried under the bloodbath. Bitcoin $63,425, down 1%. Dominance 55.9%. Crypto ETFs saw $4.4B leave over 13 sessions. BTC ETFs saw another $397M out. Mt. Gox moved another 116 BTC to Bitstamp. The Strategy story has gone from a crack to a real wound. Saylor is now sitting on an $11.5B unrealized loss. The STRC preferred share slipped to $0.96, below par, which is exactly the pressure point that tool I mentioned yesterday was built to track. Below $60K, the dividend machine starts forcing the math. Crypto Rover closed a $1M+ BTC short at $61K and is calling a capitulation bottom. The forced sellers and the bottom-callers are screaming at each other, which is what the actual bottom sounds like. Ethereum $1,740, down 3.1%. ETH dominance 9.2%. BitMine filed a 9.5% preferred stock offering to buy more ETH, doubling down into the worst tape, while their existing stack sits deep underwater. The ETH treasury trade is now under real stress and being judged harshly. Solana $67.77, down 4.3%. TVL still bleeding, down 6.1% on the week. SOL holders have had the longest, most punishing stretch of any major. XRP $1.14, down 4.7%. Ripple’s RLUSD went multichain via Wormhole across 40+ ecosystems, and XRP still lost $1.15. Real product, no price relief. BNB $601, down 1.9%. Holding $600 by a thread. Hyperliquid $62.84, down 14.1%. The relative strength that held all month finally broke. Could Hyperliquid also get catched on hacks.  Hayes dumped his entire HYPE position, and the chart followed, down 15%+ alongside NEAR. The Grayscale HYPG staking ETF launched today into a 14% drop. I faded HYPE the entire way up and felt sick about it, and now the day it finally cracks hard is the day Hayes calls the whole top. NEAR Intents topped $20B volume with TVL at an all-time high, even as the token fell 19%. The product kept growing while the price got destroyed. That tells you this is market-wide deleveraging, not a Hyperliquid or NEAR problem. Chainlink $7.86, down 4.4%. Under $8 now. Citi says $8.2T tokenized by 2030, CCIP a key standard, JPMorgan and Citi launching a tokenized deposit network next year, and the token is at $7.86. Sui co-founder announced confidential transfers coming to Sui, shielding amounts while making unauthorized minting impossible by design, which is a direct shot at exactly the flaw that just hit Zcash. The privacy race continues, but the bar just got raised. ADA dropped below $0.16 for the first time since 2020 as Hoskinson announced a break and then said more Cardano projects are about to die. A founder publicly saying his own ecosystem’s projects are dying while the token hits a five-year low is about as bleak as it gets. The casino burns alongside everything else. Tether launched a gold-backed Visa card. Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard are near a joint stablecoin platform. JPMorgan, Citi, and major US banks plan a tokenized deposit network next year. Anthropic is calling for a global pause in AI development, warning models are approaching the ability to self-improve without human intervention. The company building the frontier model is publicly saying the technology is getting close to recursive self-improvement and asking the world to slow down. Whatever you think of the motive, that is not a normal corporate statement. OpenAI and Anthropic also signed an anti-bioweapon letter. The AI labs are warning about existential risk with one hand and filing to IPO at peak euphoria with the other. Three mega AI IPOs, market highs before September, then take profit. When the most hyped private companies on earth rush to sell to the public at the exact moment their own leaders warn about the dangers, you are watching distribution at the top dressed up as a milestone. That is how bottoms are built, even when it feels like the floor is gone. What are you watching going into the weekend?

  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.

  @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

  Robinhood Chain since the past week I have been looking into the chain matrices and I was disappointed. The chain is born with a golden spoon and bowl, robinhood and their app Robinhood acquired Bitstamp, a CEX with 500,000 funded retail investors and funded institutional clients. This allowed the company to enter the EU, UK, and US crypto market. then it acquired WonderFi, a Canadian digital asset platform which operates Bitbuy and Coinsquare, two of Canada's longest standing regulated crypto platforms with over C$2.1 billion in assets under management. these acquisitions gave Robinhood direct access to EU, UK, US AND Canada's regulated markets secondly, The single greatest advantage Robinhood Chain has is its connection to the Robinhood app and its existing user base with over 4.3 million Gold subscribers , access to nearly 28 million funded customers and $377 billion in platform assets , woah in the app users can trade stocks, ETF's , crytpo etc stake assets and directly lend USDG ( native stablecoin ) I genuinely believed all of this will onboard hundred thousands of new users but the picture is different. 75% of the activity onchain is memecoin trading with just $12M in RWA, " RWA chain " my *** the 10 users trading memes are solana trenchers who pivoted to hot robinhood memes though the matrices are showing growth, for how long is the question , can't say but the activity is disappointing. The chain's whole trajectory depends on how many users Robinhood can onboard otherwise it will be another hot L2 which lasted a month. lets see what happens
