  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.

  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.

  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.

  Every exchange collapse gets called "the bottom is in." But data says only the last one in the chain ever is, and knowing the difference is the whole edge. A crypto bear isn't one single event. It's a chain of blow-ups that fires over months, and the bottom only prints on the final one, when the last leveraged player dies and there's nothing left to force-sell. The collapse everyone remembers is almost always the first domino & not the last. 2014–15: The Gox cycle → Nov 2013: ATH $1,163 → Feb 7 2014: Mt. Gox halts withdrawals → Feb 28 2014: Mt. Gox files bankruptcy, 850k BTC gone. Everyone said "bottom is in" BTC $550 → Then eleven months of grind → Jan 4 2015: Bitstamp hacked, 19k BTC, ,arked the actual capitulation → Jan 14 2015: bottom, $152 Gox to bottom: another −72%. the famous collapse was the opener. Bitstamp closed it. 2018: The ICO cycle → Dec 2017: ATH $19,783 → Jan 26 2018: Coincheck hacked, $530M the opener → Feb 2018: BitGrail collapses, $170M BTC $8k → then a full year stuck bleeding around $6k → Nov 15 2018: the BCH hash war, ABC vs SV, breaks the $6k floor. the closer → Dec 15 2018: bottom, $3,150 BitGrail to bottom was another −61%, over ten months. 2022: The leverage cycle → Nov 2021: ATH $69,000 → May 9 2022: Terra/LUNA implodes, $45B gone. the opener → June 12: Celsius freezes withdrawals → June 27: 3AC ordered into liquidation → July 5: Voyager bankrupt. July 13: Celsius bankrupt → Nov 8–11: FTX collapses. the closer → Nov 21 2022: bottom, $15,480 FTX to bottom was just −26%, in 10 days. This is the one case where the famous name was the last domino, which is exactly why it marked the low. So the tell was never the size of the name. It's where it sits in the chain. Terra was bigger than FTX and it marked the top of the crash, not the bottom. Now 2026 → Oct 2025: ATH $126,210 → Oct 10–11 2025: $19B liquidation cascade off the top, the largest in history. this is the opener → Nov 2025: down to $80k now $64k, off by 49% → July 1 2026: AscendEX closes → July 23: BitMEX announces closure → July 26: BitMart winds down Here's what "bottom is in" wrong here. AscendEX, BitMEX and BitMart aren't blow-ups. They're wind downs. Still solvent, withdrawals open, nobody force selling a single coin. They're closing because the mid-tier exchange model stopped making money, not because they detonated. A business shutting on bad math is not a domino. For until now we've had the opener, the Oct 10 Binance cascade but we haven't had the closer yet. No major leveraged entity has detonated into a forced selling panic the way Gox, BitGrail and FTX did. The signal you're actually waiting for isn't an exchange announcing a shutdown. It's an exchange or a fund detonating. The last domino is waiting to happen soon.

  @Ledger shipped Canton Coin support for individuals, and @Bitstamp listed CC for spot. Retail rails, finally.

  I keep seeing posts comparing Robinhood to Coinbase and Base. The problem is they're often comparing completely different things. Robinhood's $102B valuation. Robinhood's 27.7M funded customers. Robinhood's stock trading volume. Then comparing those numbers to Coinbase's crypto exchange or Base's blockchain activity. That's not a like-for-like comparison. Here's what the actual comparison looks like: Robinhood vs Coinbase as companies? Robinhood wins. ~$102B market cap vs ~ $42B. Robinhood vs Coinbase as crypto exchanges? Coinbase wins. ~$202B quarterly crypto volume vs ~ $66B for Robinhood + Bitstamp. Robinhood Chain vs Base? Depends on what you're measuring. Robinhood has won attention. Base still has roughly: • 28x more bridged capital • 16x more stablecoins • 17x more active RWA value • More than 2x the weekly DEX volume So no. Base is not cooked. And Robinhood is not a joke. Both things can be true. But the bigger story isn't who wins today's Twitter argument. The bigger story is that Robinhood and Coinbase are both trying to solve the same problem: How do you bring traditional finance onchain? Robinhood is moving from brokerage into crypto. Coinbase is moving from crypto into full-service finance. If either succeeds, crypto doesn't just get new users. It gets access to an entirely new pool of capital. That's the story I'm watching.

  @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.

  Robinhood Is Bringing Crypto Into the Mainstream UK Investment App .@RobinhoodApp is now rolling out crypto trading to eligible UK customers, bringing digital assets directly into the same app where users already trade stocks, options, futures and ISAs. Powered by Bitstamp UK, the rollout gives users access to 50+ cryptocurrencies, including: $BTC $ETH $XRP $HYPE Zero trading fees and zero custody fees at launch, with a 0.1% FX fee for UK customers. Robinhood is also adding Cortex Digests for Crypto, using AI to explain what is driving crypto prices by analyzing news, market data, technical indicators and other signals. This is a major milestone for Robinhood's broader strategy. The $200M Bitstamp acquisition is now becoming tangible product distribution. Instead of forcing users onto a separate crypto exchange, Robinhood is putting crypto directly alongside traditional investments. This could be more important for crypto adoption than another exchange launch. Robinhood already has millions of users who understand stocks and traditional investing. Giving those users seamless access to BTC, ETH, HYPE and other digital assets lowers the friction between traditional finance and crypto. The company isn't simply adding crypto to its app. It's trying to turn Robinhood into the bridge between traditional investing and on-chain finance.

  sol is trading within a $0.19 range across 16 pairs and 12 different exchanges right now, binance, coinbase, kraken, bitstamp, barely any gap between them. that's not random, that's what deep liquidity looks like, arbitrage traders close gap like that in secs. this is actually funny though, some exchanges match that price exactly but still score 'bb' on reliability, price isn't issue here, rather the liquidity behind each exchange.
