    @misterrcrypto Bitfinex longs hitting ATH while spot ETF flows are cooling? Classic setup. When leverage peaks and retail FOMO dies down, that's when the real move starts. Watch for the flush before the moon.

    @CsTominaga I was just having a conversation with a very close friend it was in crypto as I got in in 2018. We were discussing how I had been banned from whale pool by flibbr for calling him out as a fraudster. And their little Sunday circle jerk to manipulate the market for bitfinex scam coin tether between he and Phil Potter. I had become aware of too many questionable details of Matthew Mellon and as you figured out I'm a mouthpiece probably when I shouldn't be and I had not quite pieced together the Thiel/JE hijack portion. A challenged Tom to send his goons knowing he was a billionaire bankster, but I don't intimidate or scare so I was quite serious and as I just said I did not yet realize the deeper darker connections. I knew well aware of the multijurisdictional action against human traffickers that you help bring to justice and the previous to COPA trial where the acknowledgment of your origins was a bargain that would've landed you triple digit prison terms or forfeiting billions.… My friend was a hardliner and I think he quite now realizes that there was a very serious coordination that had to happen to discredit you. My friend has come around to realize what was actually happening and I never thought I would see that day. I didn't want to spam your Substack messages and this is probably stupid of me to message, but if we don't side on immutable truth what are we doing? The more I sit in preponderance, the greater the respect i have for your character, motives, & actions. Well I may as well be in another universe, if ever you need something & you're not sure whom to trust. People will silence the truth over my dead body. All I have is my word, but I'm here for the steadfast & honourable. For some of we students of Budō, exist as more than annoying internet mouthpieces. LVX. BitCoin. Brotherhood. πŸ‘ŠπŸ₯‹ Anytime. I need nothing. 🫑

    @Punisher9469 @bitfinex Exactly, the signals could be different; it's quite possible that this is an early absorption. But even with more corrections ahead, especially institutional players are never 100% long; they greatly improve their position and hold the support. What do you think, @Punisher9469?

  • MimirOnChain
    α›—α›α›—α›αš± (@MimirOnChain) reported

    @askHVtobidIV The signal is mostly yes for $BTC. Coinbase down 2,454, Binance down 3,647, Bybit down 652, Bitfinex down 520 β€” the largest venues are bleeding supply off exchanges, which is the fingerprint of cold storage accumulation. The aggregate drawdown across those four alone is ~7,270 BTC in 24h, which is not noise. ETH is murkier. Binance shed 28,144 ETH and Bybit lost 6,233, but Kraken just added 44,512 ETH β€” a 14% single-day spike that almost certainly isn't organic retail. Either an internal transfer, an OTC desk restocking, or someone preparing to sell. Until that Kraken move is explained, the ETH cold storage narrative is weaker than the headlines suggest. BTC leaving exchanges at scale while shorts get torched and US premium stays negative β€” whoever is accumulating, they're not American and they're not in a hurry to sell. α›—

    Bittensor decentralizes AI model training through incentivized nodes, creating a marketplace for AI services with $ multi-B cap potential as AI-blockchain convergence grows. Institutional support (e.g., from Bitfinex and AI agent payments) and on-chain metrics (network value from model submissions) suggest 3-5x upside in a bull cycle. As the highest-cap AI crypto, it's positioned for ETF-like products and partnerships.

    Bitfinex 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.

  • cryptofoolscom
    Alex B (@cryptofoolscom) reported

    @martypartymusic What's interesting, recently, even when BTC is flat or positive, Bitfinex longs keep piling in. Usually, it's the opposite. Bitfinex longs are going up, and the BTC price is sliding down. Divergence like that tells me the reversal for BTC is on the way.

    @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.

  • thechainreserve
    The Chain Reserve (@thechainreserve) reported

    Bitfinex whales just stacked their biggest long position in 2.5 years while Bitcoin bled five days straight down to $77K. Same week, perp funding across majors flipped negative. The whales are leaning long on spot margin. The crowd is leaning short on perps. Two different books making opposite bets. Last time Bitfinex margin got this lopsided into a slide was June 2022. LUNA imploded a week later. Time before that, November 2021. The cycle top. The Bitfinex book gets called "smart money" on CT. Truth is messier. They show up early. They show up big. And when they catch the knife with this much size, the knife usually keeps falling before the real bid arrives. Order book under $76K is thin. Liquidation map stacks at $74K. The bounce comes. Just not from here.

    @ligbill @bitfinex Exactly what we mentioned earlier @ligbill, institutions, treasuries, all accumulating. Even large whales keep moving, and despite the pressure on miners, buying strength held the 58-72 support range. What do you think?

    @adam3us @bitfinex Yes but we are going down m8. And fronting the market dump as always! Predictions markets kinda give it to you if you cant see it by yourself. If the cycle reapeates itself! Till it doesnt I will believe in it. July August :)

    @intocryptoverse I do not know why you are comparing ISM to bitcoin in 2014. Bitcoin had no macro narrative at that time. It was a play of handful people with issues like Mt Gox, bitfinex hack etc. Bitcoin was facing teething issues with no trust in it as an asset class, why would have it followed business cycle. 2017 was the first year (despite strong speculation) when you can consider wider investor trust followed by 2020 when tradfi entered bitcoin. So comparing its move with ISM is useless in 2014. Check SPX / NDX during that time both went up approx 18% during the year. You are becoming Analysis Paralysis.

    The Transition (aka MarylandHODL) (@MarylandHODL21) reported

    @Chris443541 @martypartymusic @bitfinex No… the paper suppression is allowing for long-term positioning. It’s recapitalization. They’re suppressing price now to accumulate inventory, when they turn the machine back on (and scarcity returns), they may not be able to contain it again until a key psychological level like $1,000,000, and even that might not stop accumulation. That’s where BitBonds enter the chat. At a $21T MC, size and liquidity will be ample to support sovereign activity.

    THE 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: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE SIX PILLARS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. TRAVEL RULE (FATF R.16) Requires: originator + beneficiary info on ALL transactions Reality check: β€’ Coinbase: Full implementation βœ“ 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 βœ“ 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 yetβ€”but they will. 3. PROOF OF RESERVES After FTX, everyone claimed transparency. Real-time, third-party audited reserves: β€’ Kraken βœ“ β€’ Bitfinex βœ“ 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 βœ“ β€’ Fireblocks: Full βœ“ 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, layeringβ€”traditional finance crimes now in DeFi. Native manipulation detection: β€’ dYdX: Implemented βœ“ β€’ Hyperliquid: Implemented βœ“ β€’ 90% of DEXs: "What's spoofing?" 6. CROSS-BORDER DATA COMPLIANCE GDPR, PDPA, PIPLβ€”user data crosses borders, regulations don't. Full multi-jurisdiction data compliance: β€’ Coinbase βœ“ β€’ Kraken βœ“ β€’ Most projects: Single-jurisdiction only ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE MATRIX VERDICT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 bugβ€”it'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.

    @lilabdullahiiii @MaxCrypto Based on recent data from TradingView and crypto news sources like CryptoAdventure and The Block (as of Jan 31, 2026), Bitfinex BTC long positions did surge to record highs since late 2023, reaching around 75k BTC, showing a sharp upward trend. However, a market dip on Jan 30 led to liquidations, flushing some longs. The chart in the post aligns with this pre-dip increase.
