Liberty Daddy (@LibertyDaddy) reported@cameron Save some ammo guys for when Bitfinex and Binance dump Bitcoin back down overnight $ETH too

Kris Sato (@kris_nakamoto) reportedBitfinex traders are going all in on $BTC, longs hitting a 2.5-year high during this five-day slide. Smart money doubling down, they say. I see a clear liquidity target forming. This level of consensus usually ends with a nasty shakeout. Beware the herd.

orangbiasa (@orang2_biasa) reportedBitcoin rebounded above $77,000 this morning. Bitfinex margin longs just hit a 2.5-year high โ traders are doubling down on this dip, not running from it. BlackRock buying. Saudi Arabia tokenizing. Traders loading longs at 2.5-year highs.

Dom's Crypto (@Doms_Crypto) reportedBitcoin has crashed = bears are happy BUT: bitcoin:native has printed same low on RSI14 level around ~12.00 - same as back on massive crash down to $60,000 (see on the second chart) An indecisive 4-hour candle printed which can bring buyers back into the game Bitfinex Longs going nuts

NineInchTrails (@nineinchtrails) reportedBTC Looks like BTC wants to go lower soon imo. We frontran the .786. And we now closed below the .786 on the daily. We also closed above .786 on USDT.D on the daily after the bullish 3 drives. BVOL in support. BTC Longs on Bitfinex moving up. Closing below $74.9kish = bearish BOS confirmed. On top imo it would also be a confirmed H&S. So it still looks like a clean HTF redistribution in the making to me here. HTF Bias: still bearish Main Thesis: we could go below the Feb 6th $60.kish low. Next confirmations: closing below $62.kish SL for confirmed SOW. Invalidation: in case we should close above $90.kish we have a bullish ChoCh on the daily.

Kaspa The Green (@kaspa_the_green) reported@HarrisChri99199 @Cryptotea Exactly my argument. On the front end to promote adoption, yes. But go down the rabbit hole of what Lightning does. Especially the largest lightning node hub bitfinex.

Crypto Ninja (@tsubacho) reported@WuBlockchain Bitfinex longs at Nov 2023 levels while Fear & Greed is at 12 โ wild divergence. Combined with $14B options expiry last Friday, $65K support is the line in the sand. Break below = cascading liquidations.

Hineycoin (@hineycoin) reported๐ What is UNUS SED LEO (LEO)? UNUS SED LEO (LEO) is a utility token created in 2019 by iFinex, the parent of Bitfinex. The name comes from Latin: โUnus Sed Leoโ (โOne, but a Lionโ) reflecting strength and resilience. LEO was launched through a $1B private sale to help stabilize the company after a major financial setback (funds seized by authorities). Today: โข ~920M circulating (1B originally issued) โข ~79M tokens already burned โข Consistently ranked among top assets by market cap LEO isnโt a meme coin or a Layer 1 - itโs a utility token tied directly to a high-volume exchange ecosystem...a quiet, revenue-driven asset sitting near the top of crypto rankings. ๐ฆ

Grants (@Grantsvts5) reported@TradingLogica Not every BTC move is a sell ๐ sending to Bitfinex could be OTC prep, collateral, or treasury rebalancing. True distribution shows cold-to-hot wallet transfers over 48โ72h. Ted breaks down these patterns on the TED Crypto Telegram channel ๐ Copy ๐ tedcrypto_tg ๐
-
Market Genius (@marketgeniusx) reported$27M is 0.9% of their $3B position. That is not a dump, that is a rounding error. More likely Bitfinex margin collateral or OTC facilitation. Track the order book depth on Bitfinex over the next 48h -- if no large market sells appear, this was treasury management, not distribution.

LamboWhale (@LamboWhale) reported@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

2xswap (@2xswap) reportedhere's what most people get wrong about ETF inflows. "$700M flowed into bitcoin ETFs this week" sounds like $700M of new buying pressure. it's not. Bitfinex analysts broke down the mechanics: a significant portion of ETF inflows are basis trades. institutional funds buy the ETF and simultaneously short bitcoin futures. the net directional pressure on price is close to zero. the math: โข $155M in ETF inflows on Wednesday โข open interest on CME futures also rose ~$150M โข correlation between ETF flows and CME OI: 0.87 that 0.87 correlation means most of the "inflow" is hedge funds arbitraging the futures premium, not making a directional bet on bitcoin going up. real demand indicators to watch instead: โข on-chain accumulation by long-term holders (still declining) โข exchange outflows (mixed) โข stablecoin supply on exchanges (growing = bullish) ETF inflow headlines sell. the order book tells a different story.

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?

Kamil ๐ต๐ฑ (@_KMCR_7) reportedWTF is $LEO, and why does it sit at $8B MCAP? UNUS SED LEO (wtf does that mean) is the utility token of @bitfinex. In 2019 Bitfinex had ~$850M frozen by authorities. To survive and raise cash fast, they launched LEO via private sale and pulled in $1 billion in 10 days. What does LEO actually do? Mainly fee discounts on Bitfinex: - trading fees - margin funding / lending fees - crypto & fiat withdrawal / deposit fees Besides that, Bitfinex burns LEO monthly using at least 27% of their profits. Nothing special, as you see. But now, at least you know what the 12th biggest coin in crypto is.

แแแแแฑ (@MimirOnChain) reported@askHVtobidIV The signal is mostly yes for $BTC. Coinbase down 2,454, Binance down 3,647, Bybit down 652, Bitfinex down 520 โ the largest venues are bleeding supply off exchanges, which is the fingerprint of cold storage accumulation. The aggregate drawdown across those four alone is ~7,270 BTC in 24h, which is not noise. ETH is murkier. Binance shed 28,144 ETH and Bybit lost 6,233, but Kraken just added 44,512 ETH โ a 14% single-day spike that almost certainly isn't organic retail. Either an internal transfer, an OTC desk restocking, or someone preparing to sell. Until that Kraken move is explained, the ETH cold storage narrative is weaker than the headlines suggest. BTC leaving exchanges at scale while shorts get torched and US premium stays negative โ whoever is accumulating, they're not American and they're not in a hurry to sell. แ
