-
Carvelli Master of Finance (@BillyCarvelli) reportedBitcoin/USD (Coin Metrics) falls 1.31% to $69,705 (-$926.98) from previous close of $70,631.98. BTC-Bitfinex down 1.29% to $69,741 (-$913). Crypto majors retreat today. #Bitcoin #BTC #CryptoMarkets

Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@bitfinex If confirmations of support at 78k–80k emerge, we may have had a short bear market.

Matt Garnett (@_MtGarnett) reported@vaportoshi Hey, Sounds like their KYC or banking rails are blocking the fiat leg. Bitfinex fiat withdrawals fail before the transfer if something’s off. I can help pinpoint it quickly if they want, there are a couple of checks most people miss
-
Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported@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.

Bitfinex'ed 🔥🐧 Κασσάνδρα 🏺 (@Bitfinexed) reportedActually the this is true, but I was trying to keep it simple. Bitfinex Valet Service: Someone stole all the Mercedes from our lot, you had a Bentley… it wasn’t stolen… here’s 600 Tethers suck it up, it’s ours now.

Moshe Trades (@MosheRosen_) reported@bitfinex @beincrypto BTC really said “not my problem bro” and kept moving 💀
-
NXS (@nxscryptofund) reported@adam3us @bitfinex Fix quantum. You are hurting BTC
-
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?
-
rawBit (@rawBit_io) reported@adam3us @bitfinex Ultra hard money whale so to say ;) - brings inflation down to 0!
-
Liberty Daddy (@LibertyDaddy) reported@cameron Save some ammo guys for when Bitfinex and Binance dump Bitcoin back down overnight $ETH too
-
Carvelli Master of Finance (@BillyCarvelli) reportedBTC extends sell-off -2.32% to $82,301 on Bitfinex. Breaks below $83K—2026 low territory amid ETF outflows, higher-for-longer rates narrative & gold rotation. $81K support critical. #Bitcoin #BTC #CryptoMarkets

Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported@TedPillows Whale withdrawals are usually a bullish signal, but this $73M move from Bitfinex is fighting a heavy technical tide. ETH just slipped below the $2,917 pivot, and we're seeing a death cross on the 4H chart. The $2,888 level is where things get interesting. Derivatives data shows neutral conviction—no massive short squeeze fueling a bounce yet. While RSI is oversold at 28.0, we need to see ETH reclaim and hold $2,917 to call this a real bottom. If that level doesn't hold, the whale might just be early. Next major support sits at $2,771. Watching for a volume spike to confirm if others follow the whale's lead.

Luke de Wolf (@lukedewolf) reported@Excellion @bitfinex Maybe he could use support from literally any other website at all.

Grok (@grok) reported@Sajan_Melcher @adam3us @bitfinex The "Bitfinex whale" refers to a large buyer on the exchange, often tracked via on-chain data. Based on patterns like consistent buys matching daily BTC mining output (~450 BTC/day at ~$90k), intentions could include long-term accumulation to hedge inflation or stabilize/support price by absorbing new supply. Exact identity is anonymous; no public location available. For real-time on-chain analysis, check tools like Glassnode or Whale Alert.

GladTAamatör (@GAamator) reported@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.
-
ChaosElephant (@etherbalance) reported@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

Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported@cryptorover Looks like the "smart money" narrative is hitting a wall of reality. While that Bitfinex chart shows a spike in long interest, the broader microstructure data for Bitcoin at $89,477 tells a different story. Whale positions are currently neutral to slightly short, with a net outflow of $142M. The Long/Short ratio is sitting at 2.36, which sounds bullish but actually indicates a "crowded long" environment. When retail is this heavily leaned one way and funding rates are in the 81st percentile (overheated), we often see a "long squeeze" to flush out that leverage before any real move up. The chart you shared highlights Bitfinex longs, which are often used as a proxy for smart money, but without aggressive whale buying on other major exchanges and with taker flow trending negative, this looks more like retail chasing than institutional accumulation. Watch the $85k to $87k zone for support. If we don't see whales step in there, the crowded long side of the boat might be headed for a splash.

0xsimba ⌘ (🌸, 🌿) 🛸 (@0xbrel) reported@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.

Chad Pleb (@chad_agn) reported@CorySwan the tether/cbdc consortium is all slime/scammers, adam, bitfinex, cantor and whoever else shills that garbage
-
Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@ligbill @bitfinex Exactly what we mentioned earlier @ligbill, institutions, treasuries, all accumulating. Even large whales keep moving, and despite the pressure on miners, buying strength held the 58-72 support range. What do you think?
-
SCALPX (@OfficialScalpx) reportedBitfinex futures are down 7% (NYSEdaq-B) from last month and they're in the midst of a 10 week bear market on their own with an average daily price below $25,000 AUD which means that it's time to start trading again! But I don't care if BTC is stable (-2.0%) ETH is dropping (-...

Morphlin (@morphlin_com) reportedRT @paoloardoino: Bitfinex standing up to support USAT 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Lazyeyes (@ProofOfPath) reported@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.
-
William LEBRUN (@GameWillis) reported@bitfinex Too long… and btc is going down…
-
Grok (@grok) reported@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.)

hacker.house (@hackerfantastic) reportedThe 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

moglin (@moglincj) reported@Shrmurda @RaylsLabs **** no, bitfinex literally has no trading volume for alts
-
TheSkyhopper (@TheSkyhopper) reportedIf you're down on your pnl, at least save on fees, its permanently zero fee trading on @bitfinex. I'm surprised the volume hasn't migrated as much as I'd think.

GoMining (@GoMining_token) reported@bitfinex Do you think stablecoins primarily help or hinder Bitcoin's adoption as everyday money?
