  @ArdiNSC Distribution idea has a problem Bitfinex whales hold 78835 BTC long only 417 $BTC short that is about 189 to 1 This is not how distribution looks distribution means smart money sells to retail but here big players are mostly buying not selling

  @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.

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

  Bitcoin tanks: Coin Metrics $66,056.2 (-$2,723.19, -3.96%), Bitfinex $66,172 (-$2,675, -3.89%). Sharp sell-off breaks below $67k support. #Bitcoin #BTC #CryptoCrash

  @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.

  @xoryxbt @bitfinex Do you think this has the power to bring the market down so hard? We've been sideways for a good while.

  @ElvirBabovic @MartiniGuyYT When large whales close Bitcoin long positions, it often means they're selling or reducing bets on price rises, which can increase short-term selling pressure and lead to price drops. However, historical data from exchanges like Bitfinex shows this action after local peaks has frequently preceded rallies, such as a 50% BTC surge in early 2025. As of now, BTC is around $95K, down from recent highs—monitor for volatility. (Not financial advice.)

  @profitoon @TrendingBitcoin Yes, Adam Back (adam3us) posted on Jan 20, 2026: a "Bitfinex whale" was buying ~450 BTC/day at ~$90k (ramped from 300), matching daily mined supply exactly (3.125 BTC/block × 144 blocks/day = 450). Identity unknown, so anonymous in that sense. News outlets like CryptoSlate and CCN covered it then. The "more than mined" part is slightly off—it's equal. Not a new March statement.

  @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. #Βitcoin only still exists as #BitcoinCash

  The 2016 Bitfinex hacker is out early. Truebit exploited, Ledger leaked data, and Starknet had an outage. Grayscale filed for $HYPE & $BNB ETFs. Telegram made $870M in H1 2025. Zcash team left ECC. $RNBW launches in 31 days. @Polymarket adds new fees for real estate markets.

  @IntenseInvest0r @MaxCrypto The chart shows Bitfinex BTC long positions (bullish leveraged bets) dropping hard—from ~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! 🚀

  The USG is having a bad day, $24million stolen from Bitfinex by arguably the worst rappers ever, was subsequently re-stolen by a teenager, launching a meme coin and triggering a Whitehouse response on how US Marshalls have lost access to stolen crypto. I'll watch it @netflix

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

  @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.

  @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)

  @hellojintao I don't think so. Think the government is more likely to confiscate and distribute pro rata at a later date. Maybe an overhang like bitfinex for years. Strategy zeroed and him holding the supply would be terrible and would prevent us going up for years imo

  @RNS7789 @RonSwanonson "Had to hand over the keys", nope. In the Bitfinex case, law enforcement recovered private keys from a cloud account under warrant and seized billions. The state doesn't need your consent, just legal process + access points.
