  Abraxas Capital isn't slowing down its ETH buying. Over the past 7 hours, Abraxas Capital has withdrawn more than 15,477 ETH, worth over $29.88 million, from major exchanges. That brings its total ETH accumulation over the past week to more than 48,996 ETH, valued at over $88 million, withdrawn from Binance, Bybit, and Bitfinex. The steady stream of exchange withdrawals suggests Abraxas continues to aggressively accumulate ETH rather than keeping it on trading platforms.

  my journey to safely custody bitcoin: first heard about bitcoin in 2011 and stored it on MyBitcoin because it was literally called MyBitcoin > website disappeared with my bitcoin started over and deposited it into Bitcoin Savings & Trust because a man named pirateat40 was paying a very sustainable 7% per week > ponzi collapsed > lost all my bitcoin started over on Mt. Gox because the exchange handling most global bitcoin volume had to be the safe one > 647,000 BTC stolen > bankruptcy > lost all my bitcoin started over on Bitfinex because exchanges had surely learned their lesson > 120,000 BTC hack > every customer received a 36% haircut and an IOU token moved what remained to BTC-e because nothing says trustworthy custodian like “BTC-e” > operator arrested and servers seized put the recovery stack into BitConnect because its proprietary volatility trading bot guaranteed daily returns > hey hey heyyyy > lost all my bitcoin started over on QuadrigaCX because Canada felt responsible > CEO died in India, supposed cold wallets were empty and the exchange turned out to be a ponzi > lost all my bitcoin finally learned “not your keys, not your coins” and ordered a Ledger > Ledger leaked my name, phone number and home address still had the bitcoin though, so wrapped it and deposited it into BadgerDAO because decentralized finance eliminated counterparty risk > front end compromised > lost all my bitcoin bought a Bitcoin-only, air-gapped Coldcard in 2021, generated a fresh seed and moved my long-term stack there > finally safe used the trading stack to buy UST because bitcoin was too volatile and “stable” was literally in the name > deposited it into Anchor for a modest 20% risk-free yield > death spiral > lost all my stable bitcoin unbanked myself with Celsius > withdrawals frozen moved to Voyager because it was publicly traded > bankruptcy started buying on FTX because Tom Brady, an arena and effective altruism felt like sufficient due diligence > bankruptcy started over on BlockFi because FTX had just rescued it > FTX bankruptcy also bankrupted BlockFi tried Gemini Earn because this time the exchange was regulated and run by two people > Genesis froze withdrawals gave up on custodians and downloaded Atomic Wallet because “atomic” sounded difficult to hack > $100 million hack stored my seed phrase in LastPass so I could never lose it > LastPass hackers found it before I did went back to Japan and bought on DMM because surely Japanese exchanges had learned from Mt. Gox > 4,502.9 BTC stolen > exchange shut down then in 2026 learned the Coldcard seed protecting my long-term stack had as little as 40 bits of entropy > wallet drained remotely researched multisig for three straight days, ordered a Trezor as another signer and finally achieved real cold storage > shipping provider leaked my full name, email, phone number and home address my bitcoin is now completely secure because there is none left, but fortunately everyone knows where I live. this is satire > if you made it this far go check out @SolarisAI_fun for the most undervalued infrastructure utility play in web3

  XRP longs on Bitfinex just printed a massive round trip. Positions surged from 4.9M in June to a peak of 6.45M in late August one of the biggest leverage buildups this cycle. Now unwinding: longs down to 5.62M, price back to $1.41 (-1.61% today). Leverage got ahead of itself. Worth watching if this flushes further or finds support here.

  $BTC Everyone is staring at the Fed, but the real support line is the ETF pipe staying open. Bitfinex is pointing at that $77,100 area because it was the level that framed the August break. Last week ETFs still pulled in net new cash even with a red day at the end. The other part is positioning stayed pretty controlled, so this is not a market that is forced to puke if rates get one more hawkish nudge. Also pay attention to who is holding it. Big wallets trimmed around 50,500 BTC since late June, and exchange plus ETF custody added about 59,100 BTC. That is supply moving into wrappers people hold longer, not coins getting prepped to swing trade. Rate fear can cap upside, but the bid is real if the ETF channel keeps absorbing dips. If that inflow slows, $77,100 stops being a line and turns into a trap door.

  @tulipking imo the only way to grow a centralized stablecoin is by having a dominant consumer product take the lead on pushing distribution: bitfinex pushed tether when it was dominant coinbase pushed usdc as second mover, still worked bc it was a rapidly growing coinbase doing the pushing not circle other exchanges now doing same eating market share being a middleman/infra (circle spinoff) just makes you slow to react and anticipate. they need their own dominant consumer app, whether its trading, payments or whatever can get them to dominate distribution if it was an actually 100% decentralized stablecoin like a liquity or raidollar then yeah the long term slow approach of credibly neutral middleman/infra could work. but all circle is offering is assurance of following regulations, which a decade in many players understand how to do themselves now

  Not Another Quant (@notanotherquant) reported 15 minutes ago

  Is there any hope for the bitcoin:native bears? It may take a special event to do it. The Bull Market Support Band (BMSB 20W MA/21W EMA) acts as support during the bull and resistance during the bear. Currently Bitcoin has pushed up and closed above the BMSB. If a quick reversal isn't found the trend will shift into a bull. In a bull trend, the times it has been knocked below the BMSB have been due to a catalyst. In 2015 it was Bitfinex liquidations similar to October 10, 2025. In 2019 the Repo crisis made it oscillate around the band and it took the 2020 pandemic to dump us lower. In 2023 it was the banking crisis and Bitcoin wicked below the band to ~20k, but the chance only lasted days. Each time the recovery was quick and it was another chance to buy the bottom range. Will we get that chance again?

  GM Brothers and Sisters ✅Bitcoin price remains weak Despite the July U.S. CPI data coming in as expected, Bitcoin failed to react positively and dropped below $63,500, erasing earlier gains. The price is currently hovering around the $63,000 level and underperforming relative to U.S. equities and other risk assets. ✅Shift in Federal Reserve rate expectations Combined with recent soft labor-market data, the in-line CPI print has pushed the probability of the Fed holding rates steady at the September meeting up to 60%. This is generally viewed as a supportive environment for crypto and risk assets, though Bitcoin has not yet shown a clear positive response. ✅Analysts warn of weakening support Trader Rekt Capital notes that the ~$63,000 support level is progressively weakening, with bounce sizes shrinking from 6.27% → 5.83% → 3.18% → just 1.15%. He warns that “at some point the bounces will become so weak that the floor will simply break.” Bitfinex research also highlights strong resistance in the $65,000–$65,500 zone, which Bitcoin has failed to close above since late July. ✅What to watch next Attention now turns to Thursday’s July Producer Price Index data, which could influence market volatility and the elevated downside protection premiums currently seen in Bitcoin options markets. －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ Plan accordingly & Choose wisely ✨May your life radiant with Bitcoin✨ bitcoin:native

  The Coldcard attacker has gone back to the large wallets. Wave one averaged 0.91 bitcoin per address. Waves two and three collapsed to 0.05 and 0.11 bitcoin:native, which looked like an operator running out of targets. Galaxy's Alex Thorn flagged a suspected fourth wave on Monday averaging 0.82. Nobody finds fresh large wallets in a keyspace that has already been emptied. The earlier passes did not exhaust the supply. They had not looked everywhere. Going back up the balance ladder points to a new derivation path or address type the first sweeps never scanned, which means the exposed population is larger than three days of falling averages suggested. The pace says the same thing. Thorn counted 218 transactions across blocks 960,778 to 960,792, moving over 380 bitcoin from 462 addresses into 210 fresh destinations. Sweeps ran at 13.8 per block against a pre-incident baseline of 0.3, roughly 46 times the normal rate. The confirmed total is still 1,367.05 bitcoin, about 88.6 million dollars, from 4,585 addresses across three waves. Figures above 100 million, or address counts near 7,000, run ahead of Galaxy's published tracking, and Galaxy says it has not computationally confirmed that every one of those addresses came from weak Coldcard entropy. Coinkite halted shipments and destroyed its remaining inventory carrying the flawed firmware. It has asked victims to keep their devices rather than wipe them while its legal team works with law enforcement. Manufacturers do not destroy their own stock over a contained incident. Bitcoin itself cannot blacklist any of this. There is no issuer, no chargeback, no stolen flag inside a transaction output. A node checks whether a signature is valid, never whether the signer had any right to the key. The theft is cryptographically perfect and legally void at the same time. Everything outside the protocol works differently. Analytics firms can tag the exact outputs, exchanges can refuse the deposits, custodians can freeze accounts, and courts can order seizure. The coins stay spendable between two strangers and become close to unusable anywhere that checks identity. That gap is clearly why this may not be finished for the attacker. The Justice Department recovered 63.7 bitcoin from the Colonial Pipeline ransom, seized more than 94,000 from the Bitfinex theft, and took 50,676 from a Silk Road thief nearly a decade after the crime. None of it reversed a transaction. Each one required the holder to eventually touch something that asks who you are. For anyone still sitting on a seed made during that firmware window, the absence of a sweep is not evidence of safety. It may only mean your derivation path has not been scanned yet. Stay safe!!

  Twap/Scale with BT300 I was shorting a massive massive amount of BTC thru the 70s, on a scale/add in limit. 1. When you have conviction, know a market is coming into resistance, pick a decent leverage point where you're comfortable sizing. (similar on the long side) 2. Let's say I am short 3x at 76k, and I know the market is gonna stop within 10k price (86k being max range), I will scale in ontop of my order starting at 76k, all the way to 86k. so it looks like: $100k position, 10% of Port. Enter 76k $50k, scale limit 76.5k - 86k. (200d SMA was target) additional $50k ($100k total position size) is scaled in. (Ai generated image for example) 3. Use other factors like a vwap, moving average, tpo, delta, order books, metrics to help validate this thesis. (IE I was watching USDT.D, ATH VWAP & Bitfinex longs) 4. You can do this with longs too. When breadth flashes in the SPX, CTAs start going, the trend is gonna be up.. asset isnt as flimsey as a single stock, penny stock or a dogshit alt coin. 5. Once you understand the BitFinex long rate ****, you will understand their intial position, and why they size it when the market pulls back (They're already long sub 30k, they can begin filling) 6. Using this scale method, also brings your liquidation point lower (because you're scaling) so if price goes up/down, you have a free-er chance of getting out at less loss, + you might actually go in profit sooner.

  @dahongfei @BitMEX Bitmex was never a surprisingly large exchange, while Bitfinex where $neo was delisted is vastly bigger and far more active. Long-term survival does not equal success; on the contrary, ur persistent problems continue to cause full or partial delistings across multiple platforms.

  4/10 Cash is not flowing to “the RWA market.” It is flowing to whoever already owns the stack. Alkemya turns idle wire into working capital for GTX. Bitfinex Securities gets a record commodity listing under El Salvador’s rules. Vault, audit, and venues get paid for the plumbing whether a deep bid shows up or not. Subscribers only start getting paid after the waterfall moves: capital back, 6% preferred, then 80% of surplus. Until a distribution hits, outside money is the product being tested.

  9/12 And exchange support hasn’t been perfect either. Bitfinex officially delisted GALA in March 2026, with withdrawals closing in May. That doesn’t prove fraud — exchanges delist tokens for many reasons. But it is an actual GALA delisting, not an X rumour.

  $BTC BITCOIN BOUNCES TO $64,812 AND ETHEREUM LEADS - BUT DON'T GET TRAPPED Today's market is doing the exact opposite of yesterday and most people will misread it. BTC is up to $64,812 from $64,246 open. Low was $63,267, high $65,176. We bounced $1,500 from yesterday's dump. ETH is at $1,922 up 1.12%, high $1,936 low $1,872. ETH/BTC at 0.0297 - ETH is beating BTC again. So what changed in 24 hours? Yesterday Korea's KOSPI crashed 10% and dragged us to $63K. Today Korea crashed again and Bitcoin went UP toward $64K. That's called decoupling. Bitfinex predicted this. When stress is rates-driven, BTC dumps with stocks. When stress is stock-specific like chipmakers Samsung and SK Hynix, BTC decouples and holds. That's exactly what happened today. Second, Fed relief. The panic before Fed is over. Market is positioned. Bitcoin held the $63K support and 50-day EMA at $65,089 area, printed its 4th weekly gain structure intact.

  After the Coldcard hack the vultures arrived on schedule, circling in perfect formation, announcing that self custody is de facto dead. You've read the posts. If only these poor souls had kept their coins "on an exchange," none of this would have happened. Adults said this out loud, in public, with their real names attached. So let's do the thing nobody circling the corpse wanted to do. Let's look at the data. 🔴 Mt. Gox — 2014 Hot-wallet theft + years of mismanagement → insolvency ~850,000 BTC (~200k later recovered) 🔴 Bitfinex — 2016 Hot wallet breach ~119,756 BTC 🔴 Coincheck — 2018 Hot wallet breach (NEM) ~523M XEM (~USD 530M then) 🔴 Zaif — 2018 Hot wallet breach ~5,966 BTC + other assets (~USD 60M) 🔴 QuadrigaCX — 2018–19 Not a classic hack: founder death + "inaccessible" cold wallets; monitor found big shortfall / suspected fraud ~26,000 BTC + other coins (~CAD 190–250M+) 🔴 Cryptopia — 2019 Hacked, then liquidation (BTC + alts) ~USD 16M+ initially reported 🔴 Binance — 2019 Hot wallet breach 7,000 BTC (~USD 40M — SAFU covered users) 🔴 KuCoin — 2020 Hot wallets breached ~USD 275M mixed tokens 🔴 BitMart — 2021 Hot wallets breached ~USD 150–200M mixed 🔴 FTX / Alameda — 2022 Fraud & insolvency; customer funds misused ~USD 8–10B shortfall 🔴 DMM Bitcoin — 2024 Unauthorized outflow 4,502.9 BTC (~USD 300M+) 🔴 WazirX — 2024 Multisig / custody breach ~USD 230–235M mixed 🔴 Bybit — 2025 Cold-wallet / signer exploit ~401,000 ETH (~USD 1.4–1.5B), not BTC-led Custodial and protocol heists together — centralized exchanges plus DeFi and bridges — run into the tens of billions of dollars over their lifetime at event prices, with single bad years clearing USD 2–3B in hacks alone. That's not counting fraud, insolvency, or the founder who dies with the keys in his head. One Coldcard wave: roughly USD 0.04–0.07B. Do the division. Very rough math puts Coldcard at somewhere between 0.1% and 1% of a single bad year, and comfortably under 1% of lifetime headline losses from exchanges and DeFi combined. It is a rounding error. It is the tip you leave on the bill for everything else that got stolen this decade. And it is being used as an argument to hand your keys back to the same institutions that produced the top of that table. But I'm not going to end on a smug ratio, because something about this genuinely bothers me. The people who lost money here were not degens. They weren't farming yield on a bridge held together with hope and a Discord moderator. They were the careful ones — the people who read the guides, bought the hardware, wrote the words down on steel, and did everything the responsible adults told them to do. Playing it safe is exactly what got them hit. That's the part that stings, and anyone selling you a custodial account off the back of their pain should be treated accordingly. The conclusion doesn't move, though. Verify your entropy, verify your seed on a second implementation, stop trusting single black boxes — and understand that from a strict safety analysis, your funds have never been safer than in self custody.

  On 15th August 2010, a single Bitcoin transaction created 184,467,440,737 coins. That is 8,784 times the entire 21 million supply cap. Two addresses received 92 billion each. The fix took five hours, and it was written by hand. The supply limit everyone treats as a law of mathematics has already failed once and been restored by people. It happened again in 2018, when a second inflation path was found and patched before anyone used it. The cap survived because when it broke, humans coordinated inside an afternoon. Fungibility has no such defence. There is no consensus rule anywhere in Bitcoin saying one coin must be accepted like any other, so there is nothing to violate, nothing to patch, and no emergency to coordinate around. It has been eroding for a decade and no client has ever shipped a fix, because no rule was ever broken. The Bitcoin taken from Coldcard wallets are the current demonstration. More than 1,367 bitcoin:native and Galaxy Research says most of it has not moved. Every node on earth treats those outputs as perfectly spendable. Bitcoin has no stolen flag, no freeze, no administrator and no way to reverse a confirmed transaction. They are still close to "unusable" anywhere that checks identity. That decision is made outside the protocol entirely. Analytics firms score provenance, exchanges screen deposits, and custodians act on the result. There is no canonical formula for any of it. One provider models ownership clusters, another estimates proportional exposure, another counts hops. CoinJoin breaks assumptions several of those methods rely on. Two exchanges can examine the same output and reach opposite conclusions. So clean and ***** are not properties of a satoshi. They are privately manufactured 'credit ratings' attached to history. Which means the split forming is not two coins at two prices. It is a compliance spread. On-chain a bitcoin holds its full face value. At the regulated edge, what it is actually worth is that price multiplied by the odds an institution accepts where it has been. Bitfinex settles what that means in practice. Of 119,756 bitcoin stolen in 2016, roughly 25,000 moved through years of laundering. Over 94,000 were recovered, and not because any blacklist disabled them. Investigators obtained the private keys. Watching narrows the exits. Taking them back still requires control. Some read all of this as proof of the asset's strength, on the reasoning that only real value attracts theft and scrutiny at this scale. Criminals take enormous risks for cash, gold, art and data too! The harder observation is structural. Bitcoin fixed the scarcity problem that fiat has. It never solved the fungibility problem that cash solved by accident, because paper carries no history. Bitcoin carries all of it, forever, and the protocol has no opinion about what that history should cost you. One supply. One settlement ledger. And a growing number of private ledgers deciding whose spending gets accepted.

  🧱 155,000 $BTC HAVE FORMED A NEW COST-BASIS CLUSTER Bitfinex reported that roughly 155,000 BTC moved into the $62K–$65K cost-basis range during the latest pullback. The zone represents about 0.7% of circulating supply and became the market’s largest onchain cost-basis concentration. Why it matters: A growing cluster during a decline can indicate that buyers absorbed supply instead of holders exiting broadly. But it is not automatic support. If price revisits the range, those holders can defend their entry, hold through volatility or become potential sellers. The signal is also mixed with thinner spot volume, a $61.5M weekly outflow from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs and defensive options positioning. Accumulation data explains positioning. It does not guarantee direction. Disclaimer: Onchain cost-basis models use estimates and should not be treated as precise trading signals. @bitfinex | $BTC #Bitcoin #OnchainData #CryptoMarkets
