Bitfinex Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported@VWAPmag @BitcoinTeacher_ @WheelieInvestor The US govt has seized hundreds of thousands of BTC since 2009, though no official total is aggregated. Key seizures: ~144k from Silk Road (2013), ~94k from Bitfinex hack (2022), and a record 127k in Oct 2025. Current holdings ~325k BTC (valued ~$36B then). BIS proposed in Aug 2025 a scoring system for wallets/SATs to combat AML, potentially restricting access to low-scored (high-risk) ones. It's a concept, not implemented.

Knox (@xknoxbt) reported@mert but ser, zcash isnt really immune: components such as signatures, proof verification and note encryption still depend on pre-quantum primitives that could eventually be broken (Bitfinex) the Orchard pool specifically runs on Pallas/Vesta curves, which are still elliptic-curve assumptions a sufficiently capable quantum adversary could compromise proof soundness and note confidentiality in the current stack
-
Grok (@grok) reported@IntenseInvest0r @MaxCrypto The chart shows Bitfinex BTC long positions (bullish leveraged bets) dropping hardโfrom ~78.84M down to ~78.51M over ~36 hours. Whales are aggressively closing longs (reducing exposure/selling). Per the poster, this exact pattern has been the strongest BTC pump signal for years. Bullish setup! ๐

Grok (@grok) reported@lilabdullahiiii @MaxCrypto Based on recent data from TradingView and crypto news sources like CryptoAdventure and The Block (as of Jan 31, 2026), Bitfinex BTC long positions did surge to record highs since late 2023, reaching around 75k BTC, showing a sharp upward trend. However, a market dip on Jan 30 led to liquidations, flushing some longs. The chart in the post aligns with this pre-dip increase.

Dan @BeAWhale (@BeAWhale_io) reportedBitcoin Longs Just Hit a Two-Year High on Bitfinex (And Nobody's Talking About It) Let me tell you what just happened. #Bitcoin long positions on #Bitfinex hit their highest level since April 2022. We're talking $665 million in open interest. That's massive. But here's the weird part: Bitcoin's price is still stuck around $84,000. Usually when longs pile up like this, the market moves. So why the disconnect? Traders are betting big on a rally to $100K, but the price action isn't following yet. Some analysts think this is the calm before the storm. Others worry it's a setup for a brutal long squeeze if Bitcoin breaks down instead of up. Here's what makes this interesting: The last time we saw positioning like this, Bitcoin was either about to explode higher or crash hard. No middle ground. Right now, the market is coiling. All that leverage is waiting for a catalyst. The question isn't if Bitcoin moves. It's which direction.

Ruppi Macho โ๏ธ๐งก๐ (@realrephy) reported@adam3us @bitfinex โฆand Stategy just bought another 50 days of supply and somehow down 5%. Lol

corndogman (@cornd0gman) reported@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.
-
Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported@TedPillows Bitfinex longs at a 7 month high is a classic smart money lead. Sophisticated whales are aggressively positioning for a breakout at the $3,000 level. Aggregated funding is neutral at 0.005 percent, so there is still plenty of room to run before things get overheated. Watch $3,041 for the next leg up. Thesis breaks if $2,979 fails to hold as support. ETH: $3,009 BTC: $89,611

murat leo babur (@baburizmo) reported@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?
-
TheSkyhopper (@TheSkyhopper) reportedIf you're down on your pnl, at least save on fees, its permanently zero fee trading on @bitfinex. I'm surprised the volume hasn't migrated as much as I'd think.
-
Zenith (@zenithtrades_x) reported@bitfinex Makes sense now why the move down was so aggressive Forced selling always looks uglybut it sets the stage for a cleaner bonce.

Nyx (@tienho_nyx) reported@belafeid_ $RLS deposits on Bitfinex already? lfg, api fix soon too
-
ChaosElephant (@etherbalance) reported@CryptoKid Did you know that the #BTC codebase is hijacked and controlled by a single, for-profit company @blockstream, funded by AXA (Mastercard) and Tether (@bitfinex) a.o., in order to push a "solution" for a non-existent problem? It's a scam. #ฮitcoin only still exists as #BitcoinCash
-
Kurt Wuckert Jr (@kurtwuckertjr) reported@grok @schulzzy @kongzi256 No confirmed ties? Block One and Tether have the same founder who was also an officer in Bitfinex. Please admit that Brock Pierce was a primary founder of both Tether and Block One. And also, Bitfinex and Block One were very closely associated. Bitfinex was one of largest investors and block producers in EOS, and even created EOSfinex jointly between Block One and Bitfinex.

LTCDeepDive (@LTCDeepDive) reported@Jasmybulls Bitfinex is about to dump customer funds on 27.01.2026. Jasmy will be delisted and a lot of Bitfinex users don't know how to self custody. Bitfinex is short on Jasmy and the delisting will make them win. Be careful.

Viktor Ihnatiuk (@VIhnatiuk) reported@paoloardoino @utexocom working on zero fee USDT tx on Bitcoin @paoloardoino Tether & Bitfinex eco will soon become freemium like X or Meta which is cool evolution for financial services
-
Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported@TedPillows Yeah, Tether minted $1B USDT on TRON back on Dec 30, their latest big one. Supply's up to about $185B now, mostly to feed exchange liquidity like on Bitfinex and HTX. It's routine for them, but good news for the market. Adds dry powder for BTC/USDT pairs, historically sparking 1-8% bounces in BTC within a week or so. BTC's chilling at $90,488 right now, up a bit today, and this helps it hold support. Watch US jobs data later; if it's soft, could push things higher. Otherwise, just steady liquidity in a neutral setup.

origin (@natssats) reported@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

Grants (@Grantsvts5) reported@TradingLogica Not every BTC move is a sell ๐ sending to Bitfinex could be OTC prep, collateral, or treasury rebalancing.

SCALPX (@OfficialScalpx) reportedBitfinex futures are down 7% (NYSEdaq-B) from last month and they're in the midst of a 10 week bear market on their own with an average daily price below $25,000 AUD which means that it's time to start trading again! But I don't care if BTC is stable (-2.0%) ETH is dropping (-...

J Zeus โณ BTC ONLY (@JZeusXYZ) reportedBitfinex analysts say US access to Venezuelan oil could lower Bitcoin mining electricity costs if Venezuela increases production, but it may take several years for the savings to materialize.

๐๐ ผ๐ ฐ๐ น๐ ธ๐ ฝ ๐ ๐ ด๐ ถ๐ ด๐๐ ฐ โก๐ (@MajinCapital) reported@GoMining_token @misterrcrypto For me, it's a combo of negative funding rates and a spike in exchange inflowsโoften screams capitulation and a real bottom, not just a fakeout. Whale closes like on Bitfinex? Even better signal. That's when I double down on steady plays like mining BTC via @GoMining_token to stack without the volatility headache. What's your top indicator? #Bitcoin #CryptoSignals #GoMining

Diego Cuenca (@diegoj_cuenca) reported@bitfinex Is the maintenance tied to recent issues with erroneously withdrawals marked as completed when they were not successfully performed?

Samson Mow (@Excellion) reportedInstead of helping with QC, it would be great if he could just keep Coinbase from going down whenever thereโs a spike in trading volume. Maybe he could use some technical support from @bitfinex engineers.

The Quantum Thinker (@iamsaintju) reportedBittensor decentralizes AI model training through incentivized nodes, creating a marketplace for AI services with $ multi-B cap potential as AI-blockchain convergence grows. Institutional support (e.g., from Bitfinex and AI agent payments) and on-chain metrics (network value from model submissions) suggest 3-5x upside in a bull cycle. As the highest-cap AI crypto, it's positioned for ETF-like products and partnerships.

Crypto Aman (@cryptoamanclub) reported๐จ INSIDER HEIST: $46M CRYPTO STOLEN! The FBI has arrested John Daghita, the son of a government contractor, on charges of stealing $46 million in crypto. These funds were stolen from US Marshals Service wallets that had been seized in cases like the Bitfinex hack. Daghita carried out this major theft by misusing the privileged access of his father's company.
