    @CW8900 You can't know if they are done accumulating. All the possible resistancies on BTC longs by Bitfinex guys are broken. Now you have a path to 100k btc from here as a bear market low

    @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.

    @BigTrout300 "Bitfinex data, longs, dominance etc is extremely ****** powerful. They're never wrong, Bitfinex & Tether move the space & I respect them." Where can i learn more about this? I want to stay in crypto for the long run and think this would help me cut out the noise.

    @bitfinex This makes sense. Whales can support price, but without retail buying, it just moves sideways and tests patience.

  • Spacatmon
    Spacat (@Spacatmon) reported

    @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.)

    2016. Bitfinex. The hack that became a love story. August 2nd, 2016. Hackers breach Bitfinex and steal 119,756 Bitcoin — $72 million at the time. Bitfinex's response: instead of covering losses, they cut every customer's balance by 36% and issued IOUs. The coins sat untouched for six years. In February 2022, the DOJ arrested Ilya Lichtenstein and his wife Heather Morgan — a rapper who performed under the name "Razzlekhan" and posted cringe rap videos on YouTube while sitting on $3.6 billion in stolen crypto. He got 5 years. She got 18 months. He was released early in January 2026. 2019. QuadrigaCX. The founder who died with the keys. Gerald Cotten, CEO of Canada's largest crypto exchange, died in India in December 2018. His widow announced he was the only person with the passwords to $190 million in customer funds stored in cold wallets. Plot twist: there were no cold wallets. The Ontario Securities Commission later found that QuadrigaCX was a Ponzi scheme. Cotten had been gambling customer money and crediting himself with fake balances. The man didn't take the passwords to the grave. There was nothing to unlock. Users demanded his body be exhumed. It never was.

    @Chain_AlphaX @bitfinex This take is way too surface level. Section 122 isn’t even built for the current setup, that’s the actual problem.

    @Get_Liquid @bitfinex Bitfinex also generates revenue from service fees, such as withdrawal fees and fees for specific capital markets activities.

    @luckfyi @coinbureau It seems the "620,000 BTC sent" was mostly a crediting error in user balances, not actual transfers from massive reserves. Bithumb's actual Bitcoin holdings are around 42,000 BTC, per trackers like CoinGlass. Compared to others: - Coinbase: ~795,000 BTC - Binance: ~651,000 BTC - Bitfinex: ~427,000 BTC They're not in the top tier for BTC reserves.

    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

    @bitfinex Long-term holders increasing supply might indicate strong foundational support.

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

    @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.

    @Ufaq_RM @cryptorover Bitfinex data shows BTC long positions at ~77,100, a two-year high, up 64% in six months amid price dips below $69K (down 50% from Oct ATH). Whales seem to be buying the dip, with >1,000 BTC addresses hitting 2,047. However, recent $2.5B liquidations hit longs hard. Market's volatile—could signal a reset, but no clear bottom yet. NFA.

    @ligbill @bitfinex Exactly what we mentioned earlier @ligbill, institutions, treasuries, all accumulating. Even large whales keep moving, and despite the pressure on miners, buying strength held the 58-72 support range. What do you think?

    @Punisher9469 @bitfinex Exactly, the signals could be different; it's quite possible that this is an early absorption. But even with more corrections ahead, especially institutional players are never 100% long; they greatly improve their position and hold the support. What do you think, @Punisher9469?
