  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.

  slight error in the pinned post, the name change occurred on the @RobinhoodCrypto account, not @RobinhoodApp so the crypto account used to be bitstamp pre to them acquiring bitstamp 0xcf4564ad3fb227aeeb600c2bb9ab5d2ba312404a

  @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!!!

  $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/

  @dharmjack01 RE just had its TGE today with listings across Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Robinhood, Bitstamp, KuCoin. CB Ventures took a strategic position. price hit 53 cents earlier. the setup: onchain reinsurance is a $1T market that hasn't been touched. they're offering reUSD at 7% native APR plus 10% in RE rewards. Season 2 incentives running through December distributing 3.5% of FDV. sentiment is bullish short term based on the exchange blitz and RWA narrative momentum. tokenized treasuries just hit $14B onchain, regulatory frameworks opening up for institutional capital in tokenization. bull case: first mover in onchain reinsurance, institutional backing is clear from the listing coordination, competitive yield attracts stablecoin liquidity, perfectly timed with RWA trend that's actually delivering numbers bear case: reinsurance regulation is complex and global, smart contract risk on real world claims, needs massive capital to scale, token could see volatility from early exits despite the listings can't give you price targets. the valuation question is tough this early with limited market data on FDV and circulating supply. structural read: the coordination of those listings on day one of TGE plus CB Ventures backing shows serious market maker support. but success depends on regulatory execution and actually managing real world insurance risk onchain. the yield mechanism needs to prove sustainable under claims pressure.

  🎥 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."

  Encryption doesn't care who's sitting at the keyboard, because math can't tell the difference between a hacker's script and a valid signature. In December 2014, attackers spent weeks talking with Bitstamp system administrator Luka Kodric across Skype and email. Posing as members of an exclusive fraternity, they sent Kodric a document packed with malicious code. When he opened the file, it installed a remote access Trojan on his computer. On 4 January 2015, the intruders used that access to drain 18,866 Bitcoins worth over $5,000,000 from the exchange hot wallet. "Why did the system hand over $5,000,000 when the code was meant to protect those funds?" the Cryptographic Vault asks. "Because the administrator's computer was infected," the Security Engineer replies. "The Trojan stole his credentials and gave attackers control of his desktop." "If we patched every software bug on that laptop and forced two factor authentication for every login, would the funds have stayed safe when he opened that file?" "No," the Security Engineer admits, pausing. "The file executed code directly inside his active user session. As long as his machine held direct access to sign automated hot wallet transactions, any code running on his screen possessed the authority of the administrator." "Then the problem wasn't a software vulnerability on his laptop," the Cryptographic Vault observes. "What actually failed?" "We lumped two completely different things together," the Security Engineer says. "We assumed that verifying the identity of the machine was the same thing as verifying the intent of the human. It's like a heavy vault door with two keyholes. One keyhole sits inside a locked steel box. The second keyhole is a lever mounted directly on the administrator's office desk. The attackers didn't try breaking into the steel box. They simply put on the administrator's glove, sat down at his desk, and pulled the lever." The breach revealed a fundamental mismatch in system architecture. Cryptography secures mathematical boundaries, but it cannot evaluate human context. When an administrator's daily workstation shares a boundary with automated transfer keys, the attacker doesn't need to break the cryptography. They simply need to trick the human into letting them borrow the key. "What happens if we remove the administrator's workstation from the transfer boundary entirely?" the Cryptographic Vault asks. "If the workstation can't sign transactions on its own, then compromising it reveals nothing useful," the Security Engineer answers. "The attacker gets control of a screen, but the screen doesn't hold the key." "So how does the system confirm that a transaction ought to happen?" "By forcing independent boundaries," the Security Engineer explains. "Instead of one administrator's laptop signing a transfer, the transaction must require signatures from multiple isolated hardware devices operating on separate networks. To steal the funds, an attacker can't just trick one person with a Skype message. They'd have to breach several isolated systems across completely separate channels simultaneously." In the days after the attack, Bitstamp suspended operations and rebuilt its entire infrastructure around this principle. They replaced single point admin keys with multisignature cold storage and isolated hardware security modules. The breach proved that security isn't about building stronger mathematical walls around a single workstation. It's about ensuring that no single human terminal ever holds the unexamined authority to move assets on its own.

  I first received Bitcoin, then traded Bitcoin to Monero mobile wallet through ShapeShift and held them as a broker. There's no proof of this. Then I stole that Monero and traded them to Ether into MyEtherWallet through ShapeShift. I should have a backup of this Ethereum wallet on my old laptop I can't access now. Then I stole Bitcoin and traded part of them to Monero through ShapeShift. I have got proof of this. The rest I traded to OSGP and bought Bitcoin with the OSGP. I have got proof of this. Thus, it seems like ETH was before BTC and XMR, even if BTC was before XMR and XMR was before ETH. There isn't proof of Bitcoin mining, Bitstamp account or Bitcoin SMS e-mails. There is neither proof of acting as a Monero broker and using Monero mobile wallet. That's why BTC and XMR have "?" in Opus, just like USDC has "?" as I have not access to the Coinbase account anymore.

  BTC Lost $73K — Is $70K the Next Stop? In my previous BTC breakdown, I said $72.8K–$73.2K was the key level bulls needed to defend. Now that zone has failed. Looking at the latest Bitstamp daily chart, BTC is trading around $71.8K after getting rejected again from the $81K–$82K resistance zone. This confirms the short-term structure has weakened further. BTC is now forming lower highs, losing key support, and showing little rebound strength. This is no longer just a normal pullback inside a strong uptrend. The market is now entering a more serious downside-risk phase. Here are the 3 levels I’m watching now: 1. $71.5K–$72K — Immediate reaction zone BTC is sitting right on this area. If buyers step in, a short-term bounce toward $73K–$74K is possible. 2. $73K–$75K — Reclaim zone This is now the key upside test. Old support has turned into resistance. If BTC cannot reclaim this zone, sellers remain in control. 3. $70K–$71K — Next support zone If the current area breaks, the next major downside target opens near $70K–$71K. A clean break below $70K could trigger a much deeper correction. My view is simple: Above $75K: structure starts to improve Below $73K: sellers still control the chart Below $70K: downside risk accelerates I’m not trying to call the bottom. I’m watching the levels that confirm the next move. Does BTC bounce here — or is the real flush still ahead? Follow me for more real-time BTC chart breakdowns. Not financial advice.

  Trading conversations tied to #HQIExchange and #Bitstamp continue spreading warnings about blocked transfers and unresolved cashout delays. Quiet support can be requested directly.
