    @Karman_1s BNB support fails but Bitfinex BTC longs grow, alt weakness, not isolated crash.

    @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.

    @GoldPulseCrypto @bitfinex Maybe wouldn’t say we’re back to square one, considering the market has strong support above 75k after the end of the previous cycle. That’s positive, isn’t it, @GoldPulseCrypto ?

    @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

    Bitfinex whales - let's call them Smart Money - have a history of counter-trading the "dumb" retail crowd. January-February 2026: increasing bitcoin:native LONGs on the way DOWN THEY BUY BEFORE THE UPTREND. 🚨 Since May 16 we have: - bitcoin:native crawling higher after rejection around 82K - Bitfinex whales INCREASING their LONGS even more What do they know retail doesn't? 🚀

    @Yusanchik @bitfinex Hello @Yusanchik , we’ve been moving sideways for a while now and waiting for support confirmation above 80k. Maybe it’ll happen, right?

    @bitfinex @paoloardoino @CRYPTO101Pod "Volume up, customer base up". Yeah, and? No fees, remember? The only saving grace could be if you're taking a cut from the lending market. If that's the case, bravo.

    Kurt Wuckert Jr (@kurtwuckertjr) reported

    Has anyone else done what @CasPiancey did with Bitfinex? Did they ever end up having a headquarters? Maybe @Bitfinexed knows. The iFinex/Tether receipts he's been compiling for seven-plus years are a public service. He was right when almost nobody else was saying it out loud.

  • marketgeniusx

    $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.

    Crypto Fear & Greed Index: 16/100 — “extreme fear.” Bitcoin bitcoin:native briefly broke $60K last week — worst stretch since FTX collapse in 2022. Now rebounding to $63,800. But Bitfinex warns: “Rallies are increasingly being sold rather than accumulated.” The structural problem hasn’t changed. Macro is restrictive. Rates are going higher. Bitcoin is a risk-on asset in a risk-off environment. 💰 YOUR MOVE: The $63,800 bounce is a relief rally, not a reversal. For the trend to change you need two things: Strait of Hormuz reopens (oil down, inflation pressure eases, Fed pause) or SpaceX IPO capital returns to crypto after the excitement fades. Neither is happening this week. If you’re long crypto, set a stop at $58,000. If you’re waiting to buy the dip — the structural floor is $52,000, not $60,000. @Blackintus

    Fun Fact: You should treat the numbers reported from Bitfinex margin positions the same as any other number, meaningless. Bitfinex could just report arbitrary meaningless information. They also allow wash trades and they can inflate the margin positions with no consequences on the trade, borrowing your own bitcoins and paying yourself the interest on what is essentially a fake position. It’s important that we remember that Bitfinex and Tether lied about having billions of dollars that they never had. Spewing out fake statistics is the least of their problems.

    @CoinMarketCap .@bitfinex margin longs up 10% YTD while bitcoin:native is down 13%. The same setup hit a two-year high in February. bitcoin:native bled for weeks before reversing. 200DMA overhead at $81K. True Market Mean at $78K flipped to resistance.

  • crypto100times
    Crypto 100X (@crypto100times) reported

    @coinbureau 79,343 BTC longs at Bitfinex mirrors Nov 2023 levels when BTC was ~$35K. Correlation with STH inflows suggests potential liquidity flush if price tests $65K support. Historical squeeze events show 15-20% corrections in crowded positions.

    @bitfinex People are really doubling down despite the slide. Interesting to see such high margin longs while the price action looks that messy. I wonder if they know something we dont tho

    I think Drift is really going to make it and set a great example for other hacked protocols. You need to study LEO to understand how amortization tokens are a huge success of our industry that no one ever talks about. LEO worked great to help Bitfinex remedy user losses. Essentially, the company issues tokens and set expectations for how much each will be paid. These tokens are tradable and transferable so that people can sell them or wait to be paid. Whether it is direct redemption or buybacks, the money flows from the company to the token holder. Essentially, crypto recreated private credit onchain for a very specific use case: paying back lost funds.

    Bitfinex 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.

    $BTC Bitfinex margin longs added a lot on this move down to 59k. Means a HUGE reversal by EOY.

    @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! 🚀

    @_MoarDonuts_ The $12.1B ETF flow is the structural break nobody's pricing in. Prior cycles, marginal buyer was leveraged retail on Bitfinex. This cycle, it's RIA allocators rebalancing quarterly into $IBIT. Different buyer, different hands, different drawdown profile. Funding's at 0% right now . that's not 2021 froth setting up a flush. Doesn't mean no drawdown. Means the shape changes. What's your line for "cycle is broken"?

    ALERT: Bitfinex analysts warn Bitcoin faces a key resistance at $85,900 that could cap any recovery rally, as $584 million in long positions were liquidated in a single session. BTC is testing support near $76,318, the May monthly open, while stablecoin supply sits at a record $322 billion. $BTC

    📚 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: “Unus Sed Leo” (“One, but a Lion”) 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: • ~920M circulating (1B originally issued) • ~79M tokens already burned • Consistently ranked among top assets by market cap LEO isn’t a meme coin or a Layer 1 - it’s a utility token tied directly to a high-volume exchange ecosystem...a quiet, revenue-driven asset sitting near the top of crypto rankings. 🦁
