  Really strong stuff. There’s a lot of precedent for successfully navigating an event like this in defi. Bitfinex repaid 36% of customer assets in 8 months and came back stronger than before. Euler lost $197M, made everyone whole, and relaunched bigger than it ever was. Crypto doesn't punish teams for getting hit but for leaving holes. This is textbook comms so far.

  @tobitdogg @BitQua Not on Tradingview BTCUSD INDEX, CRYPTO, or Bitfinex charts. Their 2015 bear = 90 weeks & 2016-17 bull is 121. Bitfinex was the #1 exchange by volume outside China, whose exchanges were shut down and excluded from data. i.e. you have to ignore the #1 data source to get this

  @AshCrypto ETH pulling back to $1,670 support while Bitfinex longs go vertical and Bitmine buys $73 million weekly is the dip that gets absorbed before the $1,850 reclaim that opens $2,400 💎 While the support holds and the next leg loads, ETH native yield via DIAMONDS keeps compounding without forced selling #BLAZE #DIAMONDS

  Thoughts: First, congratulations to Tether! Second, note this is for Tether International, S.A. de C.V. and NOT for the parent Tether Holdings, S.A. de C.V. For USDT holders, this is mostly what matters, but does not close off hypothetical scenarios where the parent company is burning down while the issuer entity stays clean. In theory, there’s corporate separation (subject to El Salvador’s laws, which I do not know). In practice, even without shenanigans, a parent entity that Has A Bad Time could dividend out all the excess reserves at any time, reducing the equity to zero. This could be to meet a margin call, tax obligation, whatever the parent needs money for. A distressed parent can also encourage the issuer to hold assets from or extend loans to affiliates (of which there are many with all the investments Tether Holdings makes) or up to the parent. And in fact loans from Tether to Bitfinex to cover a shortfall were the heart of a conflict with the NY attorney general in 2019. So if you’re the kind of counterparty that actually cares about an audit on Tether, you 1) want to see this audit, 2) want to look for related party transactions and loans, 3) look for any covenants or governance controls to keep the parent’s problems from becoming the issuer entity’s problems.

  @dahongfei @BitMEX Bitmex was never a surprisingly large exchange, while Bitfinex where $neo was delisted is vastly bigger and far more active. Long-term survival does not equal success; on the contrary, ur persistent problems continue to cause full or partial delistings across multiple platforms.

  Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) reported 31 minutes ago

  Bitfinex Alpha: Bitcoin Lacks Sustained Spot Buying Support Bitfinex Alpha said the softer-than-expected US June CPI pushed Bitcoin to its highest close since June 22, but the rally was driven mainly by a repricing of macroeconomic expectations. The move lacked sustained spot absorption, a positive Coinbase premium and constant, price-agnostic ETF inflows, making it a form of “borrowed strength.” The report identified the $68,000–$68,300 range as a key decision band, with sustained ETF inflows needed to support acceptance above this level. Bitfinex remains cautious, warning that if the rates story reverses, the justification for the rally could quickly disappear.

  @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

  @NobodyonXI Never say never I'd say. Bitfinex and Tron...y not? But personally would wonder a lot in case Tether collapses. Too important for evil money and too big. Maybe a huge depeg and that's it? But yeah never say never. FTX was also big. And after it had served its purpose it was shot down. And we now have USDC so... Need to watch his stuff about in detail! Saw he posted a lot of very nice stuff about it and is very deep into it. I'm not that deep into it. The stuff here that's it more or less

  FLASHBACK 📜 10 years ago today — June 2, 2016 — the CFTC formally classified $BTC as a commodity in the Bitfinex enforcement order. That day, Bitcoin closed at $537.97. Today: $66,736. Even after a -6.32% red day, that's: ↳ +12,305% ↳ 124x over a decade ↳ $1.34T market cap The same agency that fined Bitfinex $75K then now sits alongside a spot BTC ETF complex worth ~$101B. On-chain, nothing gets deleted. We read the receipts every block. Follow the Whales → @DeepBlueAlpha

Gox because the exchange handling most global bitcoin volume had to be the safe one > 647,000 BTC stolen > bankruptcy > lost all my bitcoin started over on Bitfinex because exchanges had surely learned their lesson > 120,000 BTC hack > every customer received a 36% haircut and an IOU token moved what remained to BTC-e because nothing says trustworthy custodian like “BTC-e” > operator arrested and servers seized put the recovery stack into BitConnect because its proprietary volatility trading bot guaranteed daily returns > hey hey heyyyy > lost all my bitcoin started over on QuadrigaCX because Canada felt responsible > CEO died in India, supposed cold wallets were empty and the exchange turned out to be a ponzi > lost all my bitcoin finally learned “not your keys, not your coins” and ordered a Ledger > Ledger leaked my name, phone number and home address still had the bitcoin though, so wrapped it and deposited it into BadgerDAO because decentralized finance eliminated counterparty risk > front end compromised > lost all my bitcoin bought a Bitcoin-only, air-gapped Coldcard in 2021, generated a fresh seed and moved my long-term stack there > finally safe used the trading stack to buy UST because bitcoin was too volatile and “stable” was literally in the name > deposited it into Anchor for a modest 20% risk-free yield > death spiral > lost all my stable bitcoin unbanked myself with Celsius > withdrawals frozen moved to Voyager because it was publicly traded > bankruptcy started buying on FTX because Tom Brady, an arena and effective altruism felt like sufficient due diligence > bankruptcy started over on BlockFi because FTX had just rescued it > FTX bankruptcy also bankrupted BlockFi tried Gemini Earn because this time the exchange was regulated and run by two people > Genesis froze withdrawals gave up on custodians and downloaded Atomic Wallet because “atomic” sounded difficult to hack > $100 million hack stored my seed phrase in LastPass so I could never lose it > LastPass hackers found it before I did went back to Japan and bought on DMM because surely Japanese exchanges had learned from Mt. Gox > 4,502.9 BTC stolen > exchange shut down then in 2026 learned the Coldcard seed protecting my long-term stack had as little as 40 bits of entropy > wallet drained remotely researched multisig for three straight days, ordered a Trezor as another signer and finally achieved real cold storage > shipping provider leaked my full name, email, phone number and home address my bitcoin is now completely secure because there is none left, but fortunately everyone knows where I live. this is satire > if you made it this far go check out @SolarisAI_fun for the most undervalued infrastructure utility play in web3

  @nic_carter At least two of crypto’s biggest successful institutions were ponzis at points in time. Both seem today to have more than fully recovered their assets. With bitfinex-tether I think this is pretty public knowledge at this point: at one point bitfinex was insolvent and recapitalized with tether, and vice versa, so at various points each was in a ponzi state. But profits flowed, and all worked out. The principals wanted/hope for this to happen, rather than their customers eat the losses, their business fail, and possible criminal charges. IMO, this is all unethical and illegal, but…a lot less malicious and unethical than people who run ponzis intending to exit scam. The other example is more controversial - Binance. We know customer funds were transferred from the exchange to a private trading account and gambled with (on-chain forensics, public reporting). Presumably repaid later with winnings. Why did CZ do that? I assume the same reason he’s still running pumps and dumps as the world’s richest felon.

  @bitfinex the playbook ran early because ETFs front-ran it. ATH still came on historical schedule. this is the post-peak correction, not a broken cycle.
