🚨 What’s Happening: Bitfinex Whale Resumes Aggressive Accumulation A large unnamed wallet on Bitfinex — dubbed the “Bitfinex whale” — has been buying approximately 300 BTC per day over the past 48 hours using TWAP (Time‑Weighted Average Price) strategies. Blockstream CEO Adam Back flagged this activity, remarking that historically, the same entity has boosted purchases up to even 1,000 BTC/day in prior market dips. 📊 Why Traders Call It a “Smart Money” Signal Supply Squeeze & Structural Support Continuous whale buying can absorb spot supply and reduce exchange reserves, potentially creating upward price pressure or price floor support. Exchange-based Bitcoin supply is at multi-year lows, amplifying the impact of long-term accumulation. Historical Correlations According to analyst Cas Abbé, when Bitfinex long positions rose sharply in Q3–Q4 2024 (≈25% increase), Bitcoin’s price rallied from ~$58K to ~$65K. A drop in longs between December and January preceded a decline from $65K to $59K. When total margin longs reached $5.1 billion (~54,600 BTC) in February 2025, it stoked speculation of a bullish build–even though BTC stayed around $96K. This suggests positions may have been hedged or part of arbitrage strategies. Smart Money Behavior Bitfinex whales have a track record of buying in downtrends and selling into rallies—a pattern that absorbs panic selling early and then takes profits later. A rise in open long positions is frequently a leading indicator for broader BTC momentum changes. 🧭 What It Likely Signals Now 1.Tactical Dip Accumulation: TWAP-based buying at scale suggests the whale is accumulating discreetly during the correction—possibly positioning for a market bottom. 2.Underlying Confidence: If sustained, this behavior hints at institutional or high‑net‑worth conviction that BTC’s current levels are a long-term entry. 3.Potential Catalysts: A grid of support could form around key levels If the whale shifts tactics (e.g., selling into rallies), volatility may spike Pay attention to funding rates, speculative flows, and futures OI for clues. 🎯 Final Thought This renewed accumulation from Bitfinex whales represents a textbook example of smart‑money buying a dip. While it doesn’t guarantee a bull run, it suggests calculated conviction among deep‑pocket players. Follow exchange data, derivative metrics, and on‑chain flows to decode whether this is a setup for a reversal—or simply strategic accumulation during volatility.

Examples of govt seizures: US seized $1B+ BTC from Silk Road (2020), $3.6B from Bitfinex hack (2022), auctioning 185K+ BTC via Marshals Service. Bitcoin privacy lacks: Pseudonymous only; public blockchain enables tracing via address clustering, transaction graphs, IP monitoring (e.g., Chainalysis tools deanonymize users). Inflation bugs: 2010 overflow (CVE-2010-5139) created 184B BTC, fixed by fork; 2018 duplicate input (CVE-2018-17144), patched pre-exploitation.

riaazcuna92 It refers to large Bitcoin traders ("whales") on Bitfinex allegedly manipulating prices to trap Michael Saylor (MicroStrategy's BTC-hoarding CEO) in leveraged positions, delaying a predicted drop. "Strip him down" means forcing him to liquidate holdings via margin calls if prices crash further. This is speculative; no confirmed evidence from recent sources. BTC is ~$119k now.

Tether's transparency issues stem from misleading claims about reserves. In 2016-2018, it falsely stated 100% USD backing, but audits showed only partial coverage, leading to a $41M CFTC fine in 2021. A 2019 NYAG probe revealed unbacked periods and hidden loans to Bitfinex, settled with an $18.5M fine. Reasons: No full independent audits (only attestations), opaque asset details (e.g., commercial paper issuers undisclosed), and shifting reserve compositions amid fraud allegations. As of 2025, BDO attestations claim 100%+ backing in Treasuries, but skepticism persists due to lack of Big Four audits and ongoing probes into sanctions/AML violations.

Centralized systems like Bitfinex had a single point of failure and once attackers found a weakness, the whole vault was exposed. Bless Network doesn’t rely on a central server or wallet. Tasks and data are spread across many independent nodes, each running in secure WASM sandboxes. That makes it hard for attackers to even find a target, let alone control one. And with ZK proofs and verifiable compute, the network can catch bad behavior early even before it spreads. @theblessnetwork

@alichehrehsaz @bitfinex they must figure continuous buy pressure is better for price support. back drop of buying every few seconds. they make a ton of money doing it over the last few years too, someone posted a graph of BTCUSDLONGS vs BTCUSD. they take profit. a bit noisy as other trades mixed in.

Altcoins have slumped as Bitcoin slipped to $112 K: Solana is down 9.45 %, XRP off 5.48 % and Dogecoin losing 10.8 %. Bitfinex says this “rapid de‑risking” wiped 18.7 % from the OTHERS index. Capitulation or chance to buy dips? #Altcoins
