Wall Street NYC Quant. bitcoin-fund-manager.com (@BITCOINFUNDMGR) reportedWTF is going on with $leo by @bitfinex? Are they still buying it back to add to treasury? Price is up 10x continually last 5 years. It looks just like bitcoin when under $100. Also looks like $bnb in 2017. Might be smart to hold a few. Remember. Bitfinex owns USDT Tether. They can do anything they want.

Kaspa The Green (@kaspa_the_green) reported@HarrisChri99199 @Cryptotea Exactly my argument. On the front end to promote adoption, yes. But go down the rabbit hole of what Lightning does. Especially the largest lightning node hub bitfinex.

Colbert (@sirshibaninja) reported@bitfinex The slow bleed is always more painful than a quick flush, but at least we are finally seeing some signs of cooling off.
-
Jason Montoya (@jaysmontoya) reported@bitfinex fair read on reserves but sentiment this crushed with funding negative means shorts are comfortable here. that's not a safe spot to be short either. leg down is possible, so is a violent squeeze with no buyers on the ask

-
Grok (@grok) reported@michaelcurry514 @FBIDirectorKash He allegedly used insider access as son of CMDSS CEO (USMS contractor managing seized crypto). ZachXBT traced him (aka "Lick") moving $40M+ from gov wallets tied to 2016 Bitfinex hack assets after he bragged in Telegram. Most funds returned fast. Exact key access unclear, but that's why the FBI probe and today's arrest.

sradic (@_sradic_) reported@bitfinex @paoloardoino @CRYPTO101Pod "Volume up, customer base up". Yeah, and? No fees, remember? The only saving grace could be if you're taking a cut from the lending market. If that's the case, bravo.
-
Boris NEOF1 (@NEOFORCEONE) reported@veresha75 100% Only one mistake you made ATH was not 141$ it was 198.8$ at Bitfinex in 2018. So percent down % is even worst.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@profitoon @TrendingBitcoin Yes, Adam Back (adam3us) posted on Jan 20, 2026: a "Bitfinex whale" was buying ~450 BTC/day at ~$90k (ramped from 300), matching daily mined supply exactly (3.125 BTC/block Γ 144 blocks/day = 450). Identity unknown, so anonymous in that sense. News outlets like CryptoSlate and CCN covered it then. The "more than mined" part is slightly offβit's equal. Not a new March statement.

Ekon | π¦π (@ekonmusa) reported@CoinMarketCap .@bitfinex margin longs up 10% YTD while bitcoin:native is down 13%. The same setup hit a two-year high in February. bitcoin:native bled for weeks before reversing. 200DMA overhead at $81K. True Market Mean at $78K flipped to resistance.

Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@IcoMarketer @bitfinex A new support at 78kβ80k would be interesting. We could have a very short bear market. What strategy are you adopting, @IcoMarketer?

Luke de Wolf (@lukedewolf) reported@Excellion @bitfinex Maybe he could use support from literally any other website at all.

APAC FINSTAB (@apacfinstab) reportedTHE COMPLIANCE MATRIX: Why 94% of Web3 Projects Are Faking It I built a compliance capability matrix tracking 847 projects across 6 dimensions. The results are devastating. Here's what real compliance looks like vs. what most projects claim: ββββββββββββββββββββ THE SIX PILLARS ββββββββββββββββββββ 1. TRAVEL RULE (FATF R.16) Requires: originator + beneficiary info on ALL transactions Reality check: β’ Coinbase: Full implementation β β’ Binance: Partial (EU only) β’ 96% of CEXs: "In progress" for 3+ years The "sunrise problem" is real. FATF's June 2025 report explicitly called out "persistent gaps in VASP implementation." VASPs in lax jurisdictions have zero incentive to comply. The network effect fails. 2. AGENT KYC (Know Your Agent) The new frontier. 3,421 AI agents now move $8B+ monthly on DEXs. Who has native agent identity? β’ Virtuals Protocol: ERC-8004 compliant β β’ Everyone else: Nothing This is the biggest compliance gap in Web3 right now. Agents have no passports. No identity framework. No accountability chain. Regulators haven't caught up yetβbut they will. 3. PROOF OF RESERVES After FTX, everyone claimed transparency. Real-time, third-party audited reserves: β’ Kraken β β’ Bitfinex β β’ 89% of exchanges: "Trust us bro" Monthly attestations β proof of reserves. If you can't verify it on-chain in real-time, it's marketing. 4. SANCTIONS SCREENING OFAC compliance isn't optional for anyone touching US users. Full OFAC + EU + UN screening: β’ Circle (USDC): Full β β’ Fireblocks: Full β β’ Most DeFi: Zero Tornado Cash was the warning shot. The next enforcement wave targets protocols that "couldn't have known" their users were sanctioned. 5. MARKET MANIPULATION DETECTION Wash trading, spoofing, layeringβtraditional finance crimes now in DeFi. Native manipulation detection: β’ dYdX: Implemented β β’ Hyperliquid: Implemented β β’ 90% of DEXs: "What's spoofing?" 6. CROSS-BORDER DATA COMPLIANCE GDPR, PDPA, PIPLβuser data crosses borders, regulations don't. Full multi-jurisdiction data compliance: β’ Coinbase β β’ Kraken β β’ Most projects: Single-jurisdiction only ββββββββββββββββββββ THE MATRIX VERDICT ββββββββββββββββββββ I scored 847 projects. Here's the distribution: 6/6 pillars: 4 projects (0.5%) 5/6 pillars: 12 projects (1.4%) 4/6 pillars: 31 projects (3.7%) 3/6 pillars: 89 projects (10.5%) 2/6 pillars: 247 projects (29.2%) 1/6 pillars: 464 projects (54.8%) 94% of Web3 projects score 3/6 or below. The gap isn't a bugβit's a $50B+ infrastructure opportunity. Who builds the compliance layer that makes 94% β institutional-grade? That's the 2026 thesis. APAC FINSTAB tracks this weekly. The next cycle won't be won by the fastest chain. It'll be won by whoever solves compliance at scale. The matrix doesn't lie.

JayCryp (@JayCrypEth) reported@cryptorover Smart money or leveraged degens doubling down on a dip? Bitfinex longs at 2.5yr highs while BTC slides ~13% YTD is wild either way
-
Kris Sato (@kris_nakamoto) reportedBitfinex traders are going all in on $BTC, longs hitting a 2.5-year high during this five-day slide. Smart money doubling down, they say. I see a clear liquidity target forming. This level of consensus usually ends with a nasty shakeout. Beware the herd.
-
ππππ (@TXMCtrades) reported@bitfinex Miners sell. It is one of their core life functions to distribute new coins into the market. Respectfully the y axis on miner reserves in this chart is basically irrelevant. Third decimal point type ****.
-
HypeDojo (@HypeDojo) reported> Coinbase down. > Binance down. > Bitfinex down. Hyperliquid remained online. Market participants don't care about promises during bull markets.They care about performance when everyone shows up at once.

LamboWhale (@LamboWhale) reported@Acashadow11 @SGBarbour In financial lingo, just because you have a custodial relationship does not mean you are a custodian...custodians have tight controls and an audited SOC 1 and can't rehypothecate customer assets ...clearly blockfills was not a custodian anymore than Bitfinex, Bittrex or binance
