Bitfinex Issues Reports

  Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported 21 seconds ago

  @cryptorover Bitfinex longs are at multi-year highs, but context is everything. BTC at $89,231 is facing extreme funding rates in the 90th percentile. Longs are paying a massive premium to stay in, which usually signals a crowded trade vulnerable to a flush, not a clean breakout. The timing is the real risk. FOMC Rate Decision is today at 19:00 UTC. Between high fees and building short flow, this Bitfinex move looks more like a high-stakes hedge or distribution than a simple moon mission. Watch $88,800 as the key support. If that goes before the Fed speaks, those overleveraged longs are in trouble. Stay cautious until the FOMC volatility settles.

  @Zero9561392 @bitfinex We're currently at 63k; time to talk about a bear market? Or will we hold support around the 60k range? What do you think @Zero9561392 ?

  @MichailDa8 @cryptorover Low BTC shorts on Bitfinex indicate fewer traders betting against Bitcoin's price rise, often signaling bullish sentiment and reduced selling pressure. This could support upward momentum, but always consider broader market factors.

  @richyonetwo @ChartingGuy In Aug 2015, while the VIX exploded from China's market crash & global selloff (S&P -4% on "Black Monday"), Bitcoin hovered ~$230-285, down ~19% for the month. Mid-month Bitfinex flash crash briefly tanked it to $214. Total crypto market cap was ~$4B—tiny & barely correlated. ETH had just launched in July. Very different era. 🐸

  Aftermath: TVL cratered from $550M to $230M in an hour. DRIFT token hit all-time low at $0.03343, down 40%+. Solana co-founder Yakovenko proposed a Bitfinex-style IOU airdrop but the community isn't buying it without a viable repayment path

  @sharpshark65759 @RhoRider @tethersux The theory claims a "Tether cartel" manipulates BTC: 1. Suppress BTC price via selling/shorting. 2. Issue new USDT (increasing dominance, USDT.D). 3. Use USDT to open BTC long positions on exchanges like Bitfinex (rising BTCUSDLONGS). 4. Pump BTC price, closing longs for profit. Peaks in USDT.D & longs reportedly align with BTC lows. Studies (e.g., Griffin/Shams) find correlations suggesting past manipulation, but Tether disputes this as normal market behavior. Evidence is mixed; correlation ≠ causation. (347 chars)

  @bitfinex Agree on LTH selling slowing down, that’s a good sign Just need macros to not ruin the party now 🤞

  Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported 11 minutes ago

  @TedPillows Yeah, Tether minted $1B USDT on TRON back on Dec 30, their latest big one. Supply's up to about $185B now, mostly to feed exchange liquidity like on Bitfinex and HTX. It's routine for them, but good news for the market. Adds dry powder for BTC/USDT pairs, historically sparking 1-8% bounces in BTC within a week or so. BTC's chilling at $90,488 right now, up a bit today, and this helps it hold support. Watch US jobs data later; if it's soft, could push things higher. Otherwise, just steady liquidity in a neutral setup.

  If you're down on your pnl, at least save on fees, its permanently zero fee trading on @bitfinex. I'm surprised the volume hasn't migrated as much as I'd think.

  @adam3us @bitfinex Hard to ignore that. Matching daily issuance at support feels like accumulation, not fear. Do you think this is one whale or coordinated demand showing up here?

  @CryptoKid Did you know that the #BTC codebase is hijacked and controlled by a single, for-profit company @blockstream, funded by AXA (Mastercard) and Tether (@bitfinex) a.o., in order to push a "solution" for a non-existent problem? It's a scam. #Βitcoin only still exists as #BitcoinCash

  @RNS7789 @RonSwanonson "Had to hand over the keys", nope. In the Bitfinex case, law enforcement recovered private keys from a cloud account under warrant and seized billions. The state doesn't need your consent, just legal process + access points.

  @GoMining_token @misterrcrypto For me, it's a combo of negative funding rates and a spike in exchange inflows—often screams capitulation and a real bottom, not just a fakeout. Whale closes like on Bitfinex? Even better signal. That's when I double down on steady plays like mining BTC via @GoMining_token to stack without the volatility headache. What's your top indicator? #Bitcoin #CryptoSignals #GoMining

  @grok @schulzzy @kongzi256 No confirmed ties? Block One and Tether have the same founder who was also an officer in Bitfinex. Please admit that Brock Pierce was a primary founder of both Tether and Block One. And also, Bitfinex and Block One were very closely associated. Bitfinex was one of largest investors and block producers in EOS, and even created EOSfinex jointly between Block One and Bitfinex.

  @cryptorover Bitfinex whales hitting cycle highs is a classic smart money accumulation signal. They are clearly betting on a floor here. But the rest of the market is hesitant. Open interest is contracting and volume is very low, which makes the current move feel fragile. BTC is at 88,250. The 4H trend is still bearish and positioning is crowded at a 2.25 long/short ratio globally. If the 88,000 support fails, those longs could get squeezed fast regardless of Bitfinex buying. Whales are loading up, but a trend reversal is not confirmed. Watching for a break back above 89,000 for conviction.

  Suspect in alleged $46M U.S. Marshals crypto theft arrested Authorities have arrested John Daghita in Saint Martin in connection with the alleged theft of more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from wallets tied to the U.S. Marshals Service. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT previously linked Daghita, known online as “Lick,” to funds believed to have been taken from wallets holding crypto seized in the 2016 Bitfinex hack. The case has drawn renewed scrutiny to how confiscated digital assets are managed by the U.S. Marshals Service and the outside firms contracted to help oversee them.

  @PeterDeOliveir3 @his_eminence_j To say there have been no security breaches is incorrect. What about Mt. Gox (2014), Bitfinex (2016), NiceHash (2017), Binance (2019), and DMM (2024)? Furthermore, Bitcoin has no reversibility or access recovery, and carries a significant risk of physical 'wrench attacks'

  the white house defended the release of ilya lichtenstein, tied to the 2016 bitfinex hack of over 119,000 $BTC, from prison to home confinement without taking credit for the action. rumors of a u.s. gov $BTC sell tied to samourai are overstated; on-chain shows forfeited coins moved into coinbase prime custody with no confirmed sale. kamino prime processed $285m in 24 days from tokenized mortgage debt with figure technologies helocs flowing through defi; $KMNO is $0.0614, down 25.8% from october highs.

  @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.
