  @srqhappy99 @JacobKinge @1NationUnderXRP No, that's not accurate. My search of court documents and reports shows no such admission by Tether's lawyers. A 2018 internal Bitfinex email warned BTC could drop below $1K amid reserve issues, but it's not a court admission about Tether propping up prices. Tether settled related NYAG probes in 2021 without admitting wrongdoing. Sources: NYAG filings, Bitcoin Magazine.

  @WuBlockchain Perhaps Aave could issue tokens backed by a share of their future profits at say a 15% APY return? This is essentially what Bitfinex did to survive their 2016 hack.

  @vaportoshi Hey, Sounds like their KYC or banking rails are blocking the fiat leg. Bitfinex fiat withdrawals fail before the transfer if something’s off. I can help pinpoint it quickly if they want, there are a couple of checks most people miss

  @bitfinex This is the divergence nobody's talking about enough. Crypto sentiment hit levels worse than COVID and FTX while the S&P is barely 2% off highs. That gap has to close. Either equities catch down or crypto catches up. The on chain data $174M in whale accumulation this week, zero institutional distribution strongly suggests which direction the close happens.

  @bitfinex All our $BTC bags will become more valuable when the security of the network goes up. But it only goes up as long as $BTC price doubles plus, every four years. That is mathematically impossible over the longterm. If you don't believe me, read the paper on natgmi(dot)com/natpaper

  🚨 BTC dumps to $81K, ETH down 7%, massive liquidations... BUT Bitfinex whales are loading up Bitcoin longs to 2-YEAR HIGHS. They're betting on $100K while retail panics. Smart money doesn't follow the crowd. 🧠 #Bitcoin #Crypto

  @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.

  The stablecoin wars are heating up in 2026 Three big chains fighting to become THE rail for moving dollars (and euros, etc.) around the world instantly & cheaply: 1. **Plasma** (Tether/Bitfinex vibes) Already live since late '25. Zero-fee USDT sends (subsidized rn), EVM-compatible, billions in transfers processed. XPL token is down ~95% from ATH (~$0.08 today), big unlock in July '26 looming like a dark cloud. Still has real traction with ~$2B+ stable supply & DeFi integrations. Proved the "stable-first chain" actually works... but can it survive the hype fade? 2. **Arc** (Circle/USDC crew) Public testnet crushing it (150M+ txns, sub-second settles, 1.5M wallets early). USDC as native gas = no volatile token drama, predictable dollar fees. Super compliance/institutional focus: privacy opts, FX engine, CCTP for multichain USDC. Mainnet push in '26. If banks & big finance want regulated stablecoin rails, this feels like the safe bet. Solid but maybe less "fun" for retail. 3. **Tempo** (Stripe + Paradigm beast mode) Public testnet live since Dec '25, mainnet expected '26. No native volatile token at all — pay fees in ANY stablecoin. 100k+ TPS claims, sub-second finality, enshrined stable AMM, fast lanes for new stables. Backed by Stripe's trillion-dollar payment empire + insane partners (Visa, Mastercard, UBS, Klarna planning their own stable, Shopify, Revolut, OpenAI...). Farcaster founders just jumped ship to join. This one screams "enterprise payments takeover" if they deliver. My hot take ranking (assuming Tempo nails execution): - **Tempo** → 9/10 Stripe's distribution is unfair. Could eat everyone's lunch in real-world payments. ~55-60% shot at being #1 long-term. - **Arc** → 8/10 Circle's reg moat + USDC dominance. ~25-30% chance to win institutional flows. - **Plasma** → 6/10 First mover advantage fading, token pain incoming. ~10-15% to stay dominant unless volume explodes again. 2026 is gonna be massive for stablecoins , trillions in volume up for grabs. Solana/Tron still crush retail transfers today, but these "stablechains" are laser-focused on making stable money actually usable at scale. Which one are you betting on? Or do you think none win and Solana just keeps eating? @tempo @arc @Plasma #Stablecoins #CryptoPayments

  @askHVtobidIV The signal is mostly yes for $BTC. Coinbase down 2,454, Binance down 3,647, Bybit down 652, Bitfinex down 520 — 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 — 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 — whoever is accumulating, they're not American and they're not in a hurry to sell. ᛗ

  @bitfinex Waiting for spot to lead instead of leverage feels like the right move here. Derivs alone can’t fix this.

  @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 × 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 off—it's equal. Not a new March statement.

  @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?

  @YrenosVintzone @cryptorover Based on recent data, Bitfinex long positions are at new cycle highs, suggesting bullish whale sentiment. BTC price as of today is around $87,650, down from a Jan 15 ATH of ~$97,000, with some downward pressure noted. Volatility ahead—DYOR, this isn't financial advice.
