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

    @Polymarket @LaLiga @FCBarcelona I tried depositing a couple hundred euro worth from btc bitfinex into polymarket about a year ago. Something went wrong, I don't know what, tried to contact your help about 5 times, never heard back. Money gone who knows where?

    Instead of helping with QC, it would be great if he could just keep Coinbase from going down whenever there’s a spike in trading volume. Maybe he could use some technical support from @bitfinex engineers.

    @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 volatileβ€”could signal a reset, but no clear bottom yet. NFA.

    @IcoMarketer @bitfinex It looks like we’re testing the resistance at 82k and lost the support at 78k, dropping to 76k at the moment, @IcoMarketer .

    @WuBlockchain Perhaps Aave could issue tokens backed by a share of their future profits at say a 15% APY return? This is essentially what Bitfinex did to survive their 2016 hack.

  • rleder
    Rob Leder (@rleder) reported

    If it lacks privacy, why did it take the three letter agencies of the world six years to catch the Bitfinex hackers? They stole 120,000 Bitcoin and were only caught when they got stupid and sloppy, leaving keys on a google cloud service and sending coins to a KYC exchange. Government money only exists because of gold’s limitations. It is hard to validate, slow to move, impossible to make change, hard to keep secure. Bitcoin has none of those limitations. The fact that its value is still small and subject to market volatility is a long-term opportunity, not a shortcoming.

    @CsTominaga I was just having a conversation with a very close friend it was in crypto as I got in in 2018. We were discussing how I had been banned from whale pool by flibbr for calling him out as a fraudster. And their little Sunday circle jerk to manipulate the market for bitfinex scam coin tether between he and Phil Potter. I had become aware of too many questionable details of Matthew Mellon and as you figured out I'm a mouthpiece probably when I shouldn't be and I had not quite pieced together the Thiel/JE hijack portion. A challenged Tom to send his goons knowing he was a billionaire bankster, but I don't intimidate or scare so I was quite serious and as I just said I did not yet realize the deeper darker connections. I knew well aware of the multijurisdictional action against human traffickers that you help bring to justice and the previous to COPA trial where the acknowledgment of your origins was a bargain that would've landed you triple digit prison terms or forfeiting billions.… My friend was a hardliner and I think he quite now realizes that there was a very serious coordination that had to happen to discredit you. My friend has come around to realize what was actually happening and I never thought I would see that day. I didn't want to spam your Substack messages and this is probably stupid of me to message, but if we don't side on immutable truth what are we doing? The more I sit in preponderance, the greater the respect i have for your character, motives, & actions. Well I may as well be in another universe, if ever you need something & you're not sure whom to trust. People will silence the truth over my dead body. All I have is my word, but I'm here for the steadfast & honourable. For some of we students of Budō, exist as more than annoying internet mouthpieces. LVX. BitCoin. Brotherhood. πŸ‘ŠπŸ₯‹ Anytime. I need nothing. 🫑

    The reason you should block these accounts. Bitfinex whales are what you should counter trade, they are smart money but the way this morron makes all think like.

    @Acashadow11 @SGBarbour In financial lingo, just because you have a custodial relationship does not mean you are a custodian...custodians have tight controls and an audited SOC 1 and can't rehypothecate customer assets ...clearly blockfills was not a custodian anymore than Bitfinex, Bittrex or binance

    THE COMPLIANCE MATRIX: Why 94% of Web3 Projects Are Faking It I built a compliance capability matrix tracking 847 projects across 6 dimensions. The results are devastating. Here's what real compliance looks like vs. what most projects claim: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE SIX PILLARS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. TRAVEL RULE (FATF R.16) Requires: originator + beneficiary info on ALL transactions Reality check: β€’ Coinbase: Full implementation βœ“ β€’ Binance: Partial (EU only) β€’ 96% of CEXs: "In progress" for 3+ years The "sunrise problem" is real. FATF's June 2025 report explicitly called out "persistent gaps in VASP implementation." VASPs in lax jurisdictions have zero incentive to comply. The network effect fails. 2. AGENT KYC (Know Your Agent) The new frontier. 3,421 AI agents now move $8B+ monthly on DEXs. Who has native agent identity? β€’ Virtuals Protocol: ERC-8004 compliant βœ“ β€’ Everyone else: Nothing This is the biggest compliance gap in Web3 right now. Agents have no passports. No identity framework. No accountability chain. Regulators haven't caught up yetβ€”but they will. 3. PROOF OF RESERVES After FTX, everyone claimed transparency. Real-time, third-party audited reserves: β€’ Kraken βœ“ β€’ Bitfinex βœ“ β€’ 89% of exchanges: "Trust us bro" Monthly attestations β‰  proof of reserves. If you can't verify it on-chain in real-time, it's marketing. 4. SANCTIONS SCREENING OFAC compliance isn't optional for anyone touching US users. Full OFAC + EU + UN screening: β€’ Circle (USDC): Full βœ“ β€’ Fireblocks: Full βœ“ β€’ Most DeFi: Zero Tornado Cash was the warning shot. The next enforcement wave targets protocols that "couldn't have known" their users were sanctioned. 5. MARKET MANIPULATION DETECTION Wash trading, spoofing, layeringβ€”traditional finance crimes now in DeFi. Native manipulation detection: β€’ dYdX: Implemented βœ“ β€’ Hyperliquid: Implemented βœ“ β€’ 90% of DEXs: "What's spoofing?" 6. CROSS-BORDER DATA COMPLIANCE GDPR, PDPA, PIPLβ€”user data crosses borders, regulations don't. Full multi-jurisdiction data compliance: β€’ Coinbase βœ“ β€’ Kraken βœ“ β€’ Most projects: Single-jurisdiction only ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE MATRIX VERDICT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I scored 847 projects. Here's the distribution: 6/6 pillars: 4 projects (0.5%) 5/6 pillars: 12 projects (1.4%) 4/6 pillars: 31 projects (3.7%) 3/6 pillars: 89 projects (10.5%) 2/6 pillars: 247 projects (29.2%) 1/6 pillars: 464 projects (54.8%) 94% of Web3 projects score 3/6 or below. The gap isn't a bugβ€”it's a $50B+ infrastructure opportunity. Who builds the compliance layer that makes 94% β†’ institutional-grade? That's the 2026 thesis. APAC FINSTAB tracks this weekly. The next cycle won't be won by the fastest chain. It'll be won by whoever solves compliance at scale. The matrix doesn't lie.
