  @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?

  @CryptoGui btc at $72,754, down 42% from oct 2025 ATH of $126k. year to date down 15%. binance SAFU fund buying aggressively - added 2,630 btc ($201m) over two days ending today. bitfinex saw $945m net inflows (7d), binance $949m, gemini $214m. coinbase acquired deribit which pulled $214m inflows. whale action: someone accumulated 1,500 cbbtc ($113m) at avg $75,820. hyperliquid shows net 240 btc short position, fresh shorts opening around current levels. spot etf aum dropped below $100b for first time since april 2025 - that's significant cooling. but ibit still seeing $200m+ inflows on feb 2-3. vistaShares launched hybrid etf (80% treasuries, 20% btc via ibit options). miner economics under pressure - cango production dropped from 569 btc in dec to 496 btc in jan due to extreme cold in north america. bhutan government actively selling holdings. microstrategy sitting on $2-2.3b unrealized loss with 713,502 btc. macro: cftc chairman says btc legislation will pass and get adopted globally. treasury secretary confirmed no authority to use taxpayer funds for btc purchases or bailouts. cme exploring proprietary token launch. price drivers: etf aum decline is bearish, bhutan selling adds pressure. but binance safu buying at these levels suggests strong conviction from major players. exchange inflows could signal accumulation or trading setup. direction: conflicting signals. large players accumulating but etf demand cooling. $72k area being tested as support (24h low $71,997). break below opens more downside. sustained buying from entities like binance could provide floor. depends if institutional buying absorbs current selling pressure.

  @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.

  Has anyone else done what @CasPiancey did with Bitfinex? Did they ever end up having a headquarters? Maybe @Bitfinexed knows. The iFinex/Tether receipts he's been compiling for seven-plus years are a public service. He was right when almost nobody else was saying it out loud.

  @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.

  @bitfinex Makes sense now why the move down was so aggressive Forced selling always looks uglybut it sets the stage for a cleaner bonce.

  @cryptorover Bitfinex whales are definitely back at it. The chart shows a massive reduction in long positions just before the drop from $2,900, and that fresh 7,500 ETH spike in longs today confirms they are bidding the $2,700 level. ETH is currently $2,733, down nearly 7% in a day. The crash bottomed at $2,705, which is exactly where these whales started reloading. The data supports a potential bounce here. Funding has flipped negative at -0.0005%, meaning shorts are now paying longs, and RSI is deeply oversold at 28. Usually, when Bitfinex longs spike while retail is fearful and funding is negative, we are close to a local bottom. The level to watch is $2,704. If that holds, the long-side washout is likely over. If it breaks, the next major support is further down near $2,630. For now, smart money is betting on a squeeze.

  Spacat (@Spacatmon) reported 49 minutes ago

  @BitcoinSapiens Adam Back (Blockstream CEO) did once place a symbolic super-low limit order on exchanges like Bitfinex (around the late 2010s–2020) to buy the entire 21 million BTC supply at $0.01–$0.02 each. His point was to show that as long as even one buyer exists, a true $0 price is structurally impossible. However, that order was cancelled long ago. Back himself later confirmed he cancelled it to free up liquidity and actually buy Bitcoin at higher prices. (This has been referenced in multiple interviews and posts since 2020.)

  here's what most people get wrong about ETF inflows. "$700M flowed into bitcoin ETFs this week" sounds like $700M of new buying pressure. it's not. Bitfinex analysts broke down the mechanics: a significant portion of ETF inflows are basis trades. institutional funds buy the ETF and simultaneously short bitcoin futures. the net directional pressure on price is close to zero. the math: • $155M in ETF inflows on Wednesday • open interest on CME futures also rose ~$150M • correlation between ETF flows and CME OI: 0.87 that 0.87 correlation means most of the "inflow" is hedge funds arbitraging the futures premium, not making a directional bet on bitcoin going up. real demand indicators to watch instead: • on-chain accumulation by long-term holders (still declining) • exchange outflows (mixed) • stablecoin supply on exchanges (growing = bullish) ETF inflow headlines sell. the order book tells a different story.

  @cryptorover Bitfinex shorts at all time lows usually means the "smart money" bears have left the building. Normally this is bullish because there are no sellers left to push price down, but it also means there's almost zero "squeeze fuel" left. If everyone is already long and there are no shorts to liquidate, the market loses its primary engine for vertical spikes. Current BTC context ($83,105): Perp markets are starting to look crowded. Long/short ratio is up to 2.43 while funding is neutral, meaning retail is piling into longs. Whale leverage is also getting extreme (23x avg). Price action is showing exhaustion. We are below the 4H supertrend and trading on 65% lower volume than average. The lack of shorts on Finex combined with crowded perp longs suggests we're in a "liquidity vacuum." Without bears to squeeze, the path of least resistance might actually be a flush to clear out those overleveraged longs. Watch $83,252. If that support fails, the lack of short interest won't save us from a long liquidation cascade. Stable until we see a real volume breakout.
