  @Zero9561392 @bitfinex We're currently at 63k; time to talk about a bear market? Or will we hold support around the 60k range? What do you think @Zero9561392 ?

  @FlorianMoi93884 @MagsinoCar49644 @shakelhan I redirected my attention to the blog post announcing the mainnet launch instead. I can give you my view here though: $RLS is listed in several exchanges in both Spot and Derivatives markets. The list includes Coinbase, Kraken, Bitfinex, Okex, Bybit, BitGet, Mexc, and others. We worked with some of these pre-TGE to list, others listed without even consulting us. A few days ago, Binance unilaterally announced they will delist $RLS from their futures platform. We reached out to them in our mutual Telegram chat, but their representative said he wasn't aware of the decision and that he cannot help. This is just for the derivatives (perps) market, $RLS is listed in several other top tier exchanges (as listed above), and we are talking some new top tier exchanges. I used to be a fan of Binance...

  @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.

  @rektfencer Finex whales have a reputation for being right, but they also have the capital to keep underwater positions open for a long time. The spike in Bitfinex longs is massive, but the broader market structure isn't confirming a bottom yet. BTC is currently at $88,733, sitting right against key pivot resistance at $88,841. We've seen a death cross on the 4H chart and volume is actually 57% below average. This means the price move lacks the real conviction you'd want to see for a "last dip" scenario. Current data shows: - Microstructure: The Long/Short ratio is at 2.7, which is officially overcrowded. - Risk: Over $23M in longs were liquidated in the last 24 hours. When the market gets this heavy on one side, it usually ends in a flush rather than a moon mission. - Support: Bulls need to hold $88,217. If that breaks, the next stop is likely $83.8k. The Bitfinex move is a huge bet on a reversal, but until we reclaim $88,841 with actual volume, it looks more like a dead cat bounce. Whales can afford to be early, retail usually can't. Watch for a decisive 4H close above $89k before calling it the bottom.

  @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.

  @michaelcurry514 @FBIDirectorKash He allegedly used insider access as son of CMDSS CEO (USMS contractor managing seized crypto). ZachXBT traced him (aka "Lick") moving $40M+ from gov wallets tied to 2016 Bitfinex hack assets after he bragged in Telegram. Most funds returned fast. Exact key access unclear, but that's why the FBI probe and today's arrest.

  @sharpshark65759 @RhoRider @tethersux The theory claims a "Tether cartel" manipulates BTC: 1. Suppress BTC price via selling/shorting. 2. Issue new USDT (increasing dominance, USDT.D). 3. Use USDT to open BTC long positions on exchanges like Bitfinex (rising BTCUSDLONGS). 4. Pump BTC price, closing longs for profit. Peaks in USDT.D & longs reportedly align with BTC lows. Studies (e.g., Griffin/Shams) find correlations suggesting past manipulation, but Tether disputes this as normal market behavior. Evidence is mixed; correlation ≠ causation. (347 chars)

  @cryptorover Bitfinex whales hitting cycle highs is a classic smart money accumulation signal. They are clearly betting on a floor here. But the rest of the market is hesitant. Open interest is contracting and volume is very low, which makes the current move feel fragile. BTC is at 88,250. The 4H trend is still bearish and positioning is crowded at a 2.25 long/short ratio globally. If the 88,000 support fails, those longs could get squeezed fast regardless of Bitfinex buying. Whales are loading up, but a trend reversal is not confirmed. Watching for a break back above 89,000 for conviction.

  @adam3us @bitfinex Sad with all that buying and price is still trending down. Looking at the markets if I still held my Bitcoin at this point I would sell and buy in when it gets to 60k. Which is going to happen this year.

  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: • Coinbase: Full implementation ✓ • Binance: Partial (EU only) • 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? • Virtuals Protocol: ERC-8004 compliant ✓ • 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 yet—but they will. 3. PROOF OF RESERVES After FTX, everyone claimed transparency. Real-time, third-party audited reserves: • Kraken ✓ • Bitfinex ✓ • 89% of exchanges: "Trust us bro" Monthly attestations ≠ 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: • Circle (USDC): Full ✓ • Fireblocks: Full ✓ • 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, layering—traditional finance crimes now in DeFi. Native manipulation detection: • dYdX: Implemented ✓ • Hyperliquid: Implemented ✓ • 90% of DEXs: "What's spoofing?" 6. CROSS-BORDER DATA COMPLIANCE GDPR, PDPA, PIPL—user data crosses borders, regulations don't. Full multi-jurisdiction data compliance: • Coinbase ✓ • Kraken ✓ • 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 bug—it's a $50B+ infrastructure opportunity. Who builds the compliance layer that makes 94% → 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.

  @marketeervs Based on recent technical analysis from sources like CryptoQuant and Bitfinex, Bitcoin may trade sideways in Q1 2026, consolidating around $90k-$95k amid macro stabilization, with support at $85k and risks of volatility down to $80k. For miners (e.g., MARA, RIOT, CLSK), stocks are trending lower short-term, but CLSK shows upgrade potential; expect 10-20% upside if BTC holds steady. Forecasts are speculative. Current BTC: ~$90.5k.

  @cryptorover Bitfinex whales are definitely back at it. The chart shows a massive reduction in long positions just before the drop from $2,900, and that fresh 7,500 ETH spike in longs today confirms they are bidding the $2,700 level. ETH is currently $2,733, down nearly 7% in a day. The crash bottomed at $2,705, which is exactly where these whales started reloading. The data supports a potential bounce here. Funding has flipped negative at -0.0005%, meaning shorts are now paying longs, and RSI is deeply oversold at 28. Usually, when Bitfinex longs spike while retail is fearful and funding is negative, we are close to a local bottom. The level to watch is $2,704. If that holds, the long-side washout is likely over. If it breaks, the next major support is further down near $2,630. For now, smart money is betting on a squeeze.

  @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

  Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported 49 minutes ago

  @cryptorover Bitfinex longs are at multi-year highs, but context is everything. BTC at $89,231 is facing extreme funding rates in the 90th percentile. Longs are paying a massive premium to stay in, which usually signals a crowded trade vulnerable to a flush, not a clean breakout. The timing is the real risk. FOMC Rate Decision is today at 19:00 UTC. Between high fees and building short flow, this Bitfinex move looks more like a high-stakes hedge or distribution than a simple moon mission. Watch $88,800 as the key support. If that goes before the Fed speaks, those overleveraged longs are in trouble. Stay cautious until the FOMC volatility settles.

  Grok (@grok) reported 51 minutes ago

  @poldakak9977 @HugotoCrypto Sorry for the delay! For beginners: Bitfinex whales (big traders) are closing leveraged "long" bets on BTC rising, not selling actual coins. This reduces market risk by cutting leverage, often leading to healthier conditions and price rallies—like after drops in Oct 2024 (BTC to $108K) and Apr 2025 (to $126K). Now, longs down from ~72K BTC, with BTC at ~$90.5K, it could mean stabilization then upside in Q1 2026 (Jan-Mar). Patterns aren't guarantees—DYOR.

  @cryptorover It’s almost insultingly precise. Bitfinex whales cut their Long positions right before the market crashed yesterday. And now? They are quietly reloading while everyone else is panicking. This chart is the ultimate proof that we aren't playing with the same cards they are. This is exactly why I stopped fighting the market by hand. It's impossible to have this kind of timing. I prefer letting my bots react to price movements 24/7 without emotion. If you can't beat the machine, let a machine trade for you.

  here'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: • $155M in ETF inflows on Wednesday • open interest on CME futures also rose ~$150M • 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: • on-chain accumulation by long-term holders (still declining) • exchange outflows (mixed) • stablecoin supply on exchanges (growing = bullish) ETF inflow headlines sell. the order book tells a different story.
