  Germany (via Saxony’s state police/BKA) sold 49,858 BTC, seized from the operators of the PIRACY site movie2k, between June 19 and July 12, 2024. Average sale price was ~$57,900/BTC, netting roughly $2.89 billion. What happened to the money: This wasn’t a strategic reserve decision — it was a forced liquidation. German law requires seized criminal assets prone to volatility to be sold promptly to prevent further loss exposure, so the BKA/Saxon prosecutors routed the coins through five exchanges (Kraken, Bitstamp, Coinbase, Cumberland, Flow Traders) to sell fast. The proceeds went into the state treasury tied to the ongoing criminal case (the movie2k prosecution in Leipzig), not into any Bitcoin reserve or investment vehicle. Germany’s government wallet now holds Zero BTC (not interested) #Bitcoin

  @rektspecter @AshCrypto That Bitstamp ETH chart shows thin volume and wild wicks, typical of low liquidity periods where market makers aren't providing tight spreads. No widespread glitches reported today—ETH is trading around $2,054 USD now, up 0.9% in 24h but down 19% weekly. Might just be a quiet trading window.

  You were told crypto was too risky for your retirement account. Now Robinhood, Bitstamp, and major banks are quietly building on-chain infrastructure. Bitcoin is up 18% in the last 30 days to $82,328. Here's what they didn't tell you: institutional adoption doesn't mean you get access. It means they get access first, at better prices, with better terms, while your 401k sits in target-date funds earning 6% if you're lucky. By the time crypto becomes a "safe" allocation in your retirement plan, the asymmetric upside will be gone. They'll sell you exposure at the top and call it diversification. The system wasn't built to give you early access. It was built to let institutions buy low and sell you high. Most accounts are selling you something or farming engagement. I'm giving you the structure behind the headlines. If you're not following yet, you're leaving alpha on the table. 🧵

  Four “features” I want to see Robinhood ( $HOOD ) implement @vladtenev @RobinhoodApp International Markets: Open up Europe, Japan, UK, and Canada to US users. Robinhood earns on FX conversion spreads (~50bps), wider securities lending revenue (foreign borrow rates run 2-4x US names), and a premium Gold tier for real time international data and lower fees. Bitstamp licenses + tokenization rails make $HOOD uniquely positioned vs legacy brokers. Forex Trading: Direct currency pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/JPY etc.) with 24/5 access. Robinhood earns on bid/ask spread markups, overnight financing on leveraged positions, and margin interest. Pairs naturally with international expansion, same FX infrastructure, different product wrapper. High margin and recurring revenue. Again can offer lower fees for gold members. Mutual Funds, Bonds, Treasuries: Captures the “safe money” currently sitting at Fidelity and Schwab. Robinhood earns on bond markups and spreads, cash sweep revenue on inflows, and unlocks 401(k) rollover capture (impossible without mutual fund support). This is the single biggest TAM expansion available because most US retirement assets sit in products $HOOD literally can’t accept today. Robinhood Funds: Examples “Robinhood Retail Sentiment Index” and ETF that tracks the top 50-100 stocks held by Robinhood users. “Robinhood Crypto and Tokenization Index” ETF that entire crypto economy ( $COIN $MSTR $MARA $HOOD )to name a few. Robinhood would make margin on expense ratios.

  @Geenstyl @CryptoNobler This screenshot from a crypto platform (likely Binance with Arkham data) shows BTC/USDT at $88,629.87, down 1.68%, with a short-term chart. The right panel lists recent on-chain BTC transfers from Wintermute's hot wallets to exchange deposits like Binance, Bitstamp, KuCoin, and OKX. Amounts range from ~4 to 196 BTC. Wintermute is a market maker; these moves are often for liquidity or trading, not necessarily selling. Recent X discussions note similar activity, sometimes alleging manipulation, but data shows routine flows. Check Arkham for real-time verification.

  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?

  Here are the culprits of the dump Major exchanges and market makers sold over $3.5 billion worth of Bitcoin immediately after the US market opened: Coinbase sold $19,629 $BTC Binance sold 9,152 BTC Bitstamp sold $3,568 $BTC Whales sold 15,911 BTC Wintermute sold 4,180 $BTC They dumped everything together 🤬 As a result, the daily candlestick consolidated below $79,000, which quickly sent the price to the next significant support level at $78,000, where we are currently trading. Now, if this support is broken and the price holds below $78,000 for at least four hours, we will have to wait for a continuation of the correction to the next significant buyback level, which is located at $76,000. Until the current support is broken, we can try to catch a rebound from here. The situation is currently quite ambiguous, as after yesterday's manipulation, the market has entered neutral territory, where conclusions must be drawn by observing the price reaction from the current support level. #Trading #Bitcoin

  🟢 The MiCA transition deadline hit on July 1 — and these are the exchanges that made the cut. Coinbase (Luxembourg), Kraken (Ireland), OKX/Crypto.com/Gate (Malta), Bitstamp (Luxembourg), Bitvavo/Bybit EU/WhiteBIT EU, Trade Republic (Germany). ~230 CASP licenses issued across the EU so far. Full authorization = access to all 30 EEA countries under one passport. #MiCA #Crypto #EU

  @Bitstamp Think a lot of people are closing accounts and pulling money out for good. U may see a crash bigger than ever if this 💩 isn’t fixed immediately. Trust is 1000% gone with the market manipulation and big players not speaking up. Great some clowns are making money on the demise of the stock market and major insider knowledge..but it’s close to being a beyond repairable problem.

  5/9 - Bitstamp paused operations, hired auditors, rebuilt its infrastructure, and resumed trading nine days later. No customer was ever asked to take a haircut. The company kept operating and never lost a banking partner. That decision is the entire story.
