  Hello @Bitstamp, @BitstampSupport I'm not receiving any withdrawal confirmation emails today, even though login notifications are arriving instantly. Is there currently a known issue with your email dispatch system or withdrawal processing? Thanks! #bitstamp

  Looking forward to the exchange announcement for @RaylsLabs this week. My guess is either @Bitstamp or @cryptocom. Bitstamp would signal regulatory alignment and institutional trust. Crypto(.)com would open the door to massive retail access. $RLS momentum primed 🔥

  If we break the low (Bitstamp: $BTCUSD source) I'll take profit in full into 108k target, look to short a bounce toward 115k. SL on that will be updated to the 61.8% measured off Oct 6th High of Day down to Oct 10th wick-low (around 116.6k) or wherever the lower low bounces from

  @RobKeibler I use Bitstamp for analysis. I know what you mean, the charts are completely broken.I use Bitstamp for analysis. I know what you mean, the charts are completely inaccurate. Basically, I use TradingView for everything. I look at several exchanges.

  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.

  Your analysis of $BTSE (Bitstamp Token) raises critical red flags that align with common patterns in crypto markets. Let’s dissect the key points and their implications: 1. Exit of Major Funds (FBG, Jump, Big Brain) Why It Matters: Institutional investors like FBG Capital, Jump Trading, and Big Brain Capital are known for their high-conviction, data-driven strategies. Their complete exit from $BTSE suggests: Loss of Confidence: These funds likely assessed the token’s fundamentals (e.g., utility, adoption, governance) and concluded it lacks long-term value. Liquidity Drain: Institutional exits often trigger cascading sell-offs as smaller holders follow, accelerating price decay. Historical Precedent: Similar fund exits preceded collapses in tokens like $FTX, $LUNA, and $FTT, where ecosystem collapse followed institutional disengagement. 2. On-Chain Inactivity Smart Traders & Whales Absent: Smart traders typically build positions during low-liquidity periods to accumulate at discounts. Their absence implies no perceived upside or high risk of further decay. Whale Inactivity: Large holders (whales) usually move tokens on-chain when planning to sell or accumulate. The lack of whale activity suggests no strategic interest in $BTSE. Active Wallets Dwindling: A shrinking number of active wallets indicates user base erosion. This is a death spiral for tokens, as reduced participation leads to lower liquidity, which further deters new users. 3. Liquidity Crisis Thin Trading Volume: Low on-chain volume means high slippage and difficulty exiting positions. In a crisis, this could lead to forced liquidations or impossible exits. Example: If a $1M position in $BTSE is sold, the lack of buyers could cause the price to collapse instantly, resulting in substantial losses. Exchange Operations vs. Token Health: While Bitstamp (the exchange) may remain operational, the token’s ecosystem is decoupled. This is akin to a bank holding company (e.g., JPMorgan) vs. its stock (JPM) — the latter can underperform due to poor governance or market sentiment. 4. Broader Market Context Post-2023 Crypto Winter: The broader market has seen a flight to quality (e.g., $BTC, $ETH), leaving speculative tokens like $BTSE in the dust. $BTSE’s lack of unique utility (e.g., governance rights, staking yields, or integration with Bitstamp’s services) makes it a pure play on Bitstamp’s survival, which is itself under regulatory scrutiny in some regions. Regulatory Risks: Bitstamp’s parent company (Bitstamp N.V.) faces SEC investigations in the U.S. and FCA scrutiny in the UK. Regulatory actions could directly impact $BTSE’s value, even if the exchange remains operational. 5. What This Means for Holders Short-Term Outlook: High Risk of Further Depreciation: Without institutional or retail inflows, $BTSE is likely to trend lower. The token’s value is tied to Bitstamp’s survival, which is itself under pressure. Liquidity Traps: If holders attempt to sell, they may face zero buyers or exploitative market makers (e.g., wash trading bots) that exacerbate slippage. Long-Term Outlook: Scenario 1: Bitstamp pivots to a regulated, token-agnostic model, rendering $BTSE obsolete. Scenario 2: Bitstamp collapses, leading to $BTSE becoming a "zombie token" with no intrinsic value. 6. How to Navigate This For Holders: Exit Gradually: If liquidity exists, consider selling in small increments to avoid price shocks. Monitor Regulatory News: Track Bitstamp’s legal battles and any announcements about $BTSE’s future utility. For Traders: Avoid Shorting: Thin liquidity makes shorting $BTSE risky. A sudden regulatory lifeline for Bitstamp could trigger a short squeeze. Watch for Catalysts: Look for on-chain activity spikes (e.g., whale movements) or Bitstamp’s strategic announcements.

  @Coins_Kid On October 10th xrp crashed from $2.30 on bitstamp all the way down to $1.58. When that happened it bounced in 30 minutes all the way up to $2.63. It then has been in a corrective move for over 2 and 1/2 months. That is not a wave C behavior, that is wave 2 behavior.

  @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

  @tomtovision @firefish_io Same wallet. Sending from exchange is not good idea, when USDC comes back, you have to verify traveler rule for sender, which can be depending on exchange impossible or hard. I had a long fight with Bitstamp.

  Bitstamp by Robinhood scored 90.26 and topped CoinDesk's May exchange benchmark after the AA bar moved from 80 to 85. Only six exchanges cleared it, down from eight in November. Been watching "institutional grade" become a moving scoreboard. My bag sees trust with patch notes.

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

  @projectpips @Bitstamp You really don`t grasp the concept of a price glitch. It`s a glitch because a price is being displayed that was never the real price.

  @VintilleG base ecosystem play first. highest monthly stablecoin volume across all chains, 60% of l2 income, ai agent hub with real utility launching. the data is screaming. pendle second. $10b notional volume on boros, $1.3m annualized fees, bitstamp listing just hit. yield tokenization is finding product market fit. morpho third. kraken routing 5.7m accounts through vaults, bitwise as curator, $800m in rwa collateral. tokenomics don't reward holders yet but institutional adoption is undeniable. solana fourth. $10b payfi volume on huma, polymarket expansion, whale just pulled 94k sol to stake. ecosystem keeps shipping despite everything. aave fifth. $50b total deposits, $89m treasury, gho doing $14m annualized. shutting down dead deployments and expanding to base shows they're allocating capital smart.

  @Bitstamp Wen can we get access these on Robinhood? I want the lend feature on RH too.
