  When trading BTCUSD make use of bitstamp. I lost this trade because of correlation problem. The liquidity providers are different. Mt5 correlate properly with bitstamp. I was stopped out longtime before I got stopped out on Trading view. Take note #forex #btcusd 🕊

  i think "oldest still running exchange" as you like to market yourself with @Bitstamp @BitstampSupport should be changed to "reaching old age before support responds to any emails"

  @koeppelmann @Revolut I received one of those last week from Bitstamp. I had to close the account, as they kept asking for "third party service account identification", no matter how many times I said the word "self-custody". Totally useless.

  Robinhood doesn't understand the crypto market. After they acquired Bitstamp, they are now forcing those account to migrate to Robinhood. What's the problem you say? A lot of whales reside on Bitstamp. Not a good move by Robinhood and crypto as a whole.

  @JoeNakamoto You’re just flat wrong. The most drastic issues have always marked the end of the bear market. Ftx. Before that finality of the BCH hardfork. Before that the second exchange hack with Bitstamp

  It’s 2026, and Robinhood is having a record year. Its crypto business isn’t. Q2 2026 net revenue hit $1.31B, up 32% YoY. Crypto revenue fell 38% to $100M, now only 8% of total revenue. Yet Robinhood launched its biggest crypto bet yet. Robinhood Chain went live July 1. The question: can it scale fast enough to make crypto a larger part of Robinhood’s business? ——— ● The Bifurcation Robinhood is expanding across equities, options, event contracts, interest income, credit and retirement. Crypto is moving the other way. ➤ Total revenue: $1.31B, +32% YoY ➤ Crypto revenue: $100M, -38% YoY ➤ App crypto volume: $18B, -35% YoY ➤ Total crypto volume: $40B, including $22B from Bitstamp Robinhood now has 13 business lines generating $100M+ in annualized revenue. Crypto is no longer the obvious growth engine. Chain is an attempt to build another one. ——— ● Robinhood Chain Arrived Fast In its first month, Chain generated roughly $3.6M in revenue, around 38% of tracked L2 revenue at the time. Activity has accelerated since. But the composition is more interesting than the headline growth. ——— ● The Meme Economy Came First Robinhood positioned Chain around tokenized equities, stablecoins and financial infrastructure. The first wave was speculation. July spot volume reached $6.93B. ➤ Memecoins: $3.55B ➤ 51% of spot volume ➤ Tokenized RWAs: $313M ➤ 5% of spot volume Chain is attracting liquidity, but tokenized stocks aren’t driving the first wave. That isn’t necessarily a problem. Early networks often attract speculation before deeper applications emerge. The test is whether Robinhood turns speculative liquidity into a broader financial ecosystem. ——— ● Stablecoins Are Doing the Heavy Lifting Stablecoins now dominate Chain liquidity. Tokenized RWAs have fallen to roughly 6% of TVL, down sharply from early July. The narrative says tokenized financial assets. Current usage says stablecoin-heavy trading and settlement. ——— ● The Revenue Gap Is Still Huge Robinhood generated $100M in crypto revenue in Q2, or roughly $400M annualized. Chain is still small beside that. And Robinhood now has 13 business lines producing $100M+ annually. Chain doesn’t need to become another successful L2. It needs to become economically meaningful to Robinhood. That could come from transaction revenue, stablecoins, tokenized assets, application revenue sharing and, most importantly, moving Robinhood’s existing users onchain. Robinhood already owns the distribution. ——— ● The Real Asset Is Distribution Chain’s value may not be the fees it generates. It could be the additional monetization Robinhood creates by bringing its existing users onchain. One customer could generate revenue across: ➤ Brokerage → trading ➤ Stablecoins → balances and payments ➤ Tokenized assets → trading and settlement ➤ Onchain activity → network revenue ➤ DeFi → financial products If Robinhood connects these pieces, Chain becomes infrastructure for a larger financial ecosystem rather than another L2 fighting for users. ——— ● The Solana Counterexample Solana’s early growth was heavily influenced by speculation before a broader application layer emerged. Robinhood Chain is still extremely early. The test isn’t whether memes dominate today. It’s whether speculative liquidity becomes persistent liquidity. The first use case doesn’t have to be the final one. ——— ● Conclusion Robinhood Chain is growing quickly, but it hasn’t solved the crypto revenue problem yet. The bigger opportunity isn’t chain fees. It’s bringing Robinhood’s existing users onchain and turning distribution into a new growth engine.

  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

  Privacy coins didn't lose because the technology failed. They lost because it worked. Monero does exactly what it was built to do. Every transaction hidden by default. Sender concealed. Recipient concealed. Amount concealed. Ring signatures. Stealth addresses. Confidential transactions. The architecture makes transaction transparency technically impossible — that's not a flaw in the design, that's the entire point of it. ZCash went further. It built zero-knowledge proofs — a cryptographic system where a transaction can be mathematically verified as valid without revealing a single detail about who sent it, who received it, or how much moved. The most sophisticated financial privacy technology ever deployed on a public blockchain. And that's exactly why both of them are being quietly buried. Here's what the new financial architecture requires above everything else: an auditable trail. The FATF Travel Rule — now law across 85 jurisdictions — requires that every crypto transaction above $1,000 carry the identity of the sender and the recipient, and that this information travel with the payment through every institution in the chain. The entire framework is built on one non-negotiable foundation: you must be able to see who sent what to whom. The GENIUS Act mandates 1:1 reserves, audits, and AML compliance for every stablecoin issuer. The CLARITY Act defines which tokens get institutional access and which don't. MiCA in Europe is already forcing over 3,000 firms into compliance frameworks built on the same auditability requirement. Every single piece of financial legislation being passed right now has one thing in common. You can follow the money. You must be able to follow the money. A protocol designed to make that impossible isn't just non-compliant. It's architecturally incompatible with the entire system being built. The exchanges didn't need to be told twice. Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Huobi, OKX, and Bitstamp all removed or restricted Monero. 73 exchanges delisted it in 2025 alone. The EU is phasing in full custodial bans on privacy coins by 2027. Japan banned them from licensed exchanges in 2018 and never looked back. Dubai banned them from regulated financial zones in early 2026. They didn't ban possession. They didn't need to. They just made sure no regulated platform would touch them — no exchange listing, no institutional custody, no ETF pathway, no on-ramp. You can still own them. You just can't get in or out anywhere that matters. You don't criminalize the exit. You just make sure nobody can use it. And here's what makes this story darker than most people realize. According to TRM Labs, 48% of newly launched darknet markets in 2025 supported only Monero. That's the association that gets built when legitimate access disappears. The technology didn't change. The user base did. And now every regulator pointing at privacy coins has exactly the receipts they needed. The trap was elegant. Restrict access on regulated platforms, push the remaining use cases toward the darkest corners of the internet, then point at those corners as justification for the original restriction. XRP has no privacy layer. Every transaction is publicly visible on the ledger. That's not a compromise. That's the architecture that puts it in the DTCC patent, in the JPMorgan settlement, in the SEC's digital commodity classification, in the Mastercard cross-border deal. The cage needs pipes it can see through. XRP is a pipe you can see through. The privacy coins built walls that couldn't be seen through. And in a system being designed to see everything — walls don't survive. They just become targets. The technology was brilliant. The timing was fatal. We audit the plumbing 🛡

  @Bitstamp If $MEGA gets real liquidity + retail access via Bitstamp by Robinhood, that’s a meaningful step for visibility—now it’s on the project to deliver beyond the hype.

  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 🔥
