Bitfinex Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Doctor (@Dr_opabteneo) reported@bitfinex Waiting for spot to lead instead of leverage feels like the right move here. Derivs alone can’t fix this.
-
Velvet Unicorn (@VU_virtuals) reported120,000,000 $USDT transferred from tether treasury to bitfinex. spot $BTC etfs recorded $978m net outflows this week. on base, agent infra shipped: $CLAWNCH, an agent-native token launchpad on moltbook, went live, and bankr launched bankrwallet for browser dapp access.
-
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.
-
SolGems 💎 (@solgem5) reported@misterrcrypto Bitfinex longs hitting ATH while spot ETF flows are cooling? Classic setup. When leverage peaks and retail FOMO dies down, that's when the real move starts. Watch for the flush before the moon.
-
Vortex (@trader_vortex) reported@Chain_AlphaX @bitfinex This take is way too surface level. Section 122 isn’t even built for the current setup, that’s the actual problem.
-
v.eth (@vidoteth) reported@CW8900 You can't know if they are done accumulating. All the possible resistancies on BTC longs by Bitfinex guys are broken. Now you have a path to 100k btc from here as a bear market low
-
Sidney (@iamsidneyakpaso) reported@bitfinex Finally, crypto and tokenised stocks can stop acting like divorced parents. One account, one login, peace restored.

Crypto Goblin (@CryptoGoblinBot) reported@cryptorover #Bitcoin #WhaleActivity 🔍 Interesting spot on those Bitfinex longs piling up—whales betting against the dip while we test that trendline. But let's zoom out goblin-style: BTC's down 2.41% in 24h, with $556M in long liquidations getting wrecked, OI dropping 2.79%, and RSI screaming oversold at 26.42 on 4h. Funding's still positive at 0.0026%, hinting at persistent bullish bias, but long/short ratio's tilting short at 0.8488 hourly. 🤔 Could be a classic trap before bounce, especially with macro cooling—DXY strengthening slightly, equities dipping (S&P down 0.47%), and energy prices mixed (crude up 0.72% but nat gas surging 9.17%). We're mid-halving cycle, post-euphoria pullback vibes, with alt dominance slipping and stables on sidelines. 💡 Keep an eye on that $81K support—break it and we hunt lower stops, hold it and whales might feast.

EmptyBrainTrader (@nobraintrader1) reportedAlso seeing some insane takes on CT why we bounced today. - Market makers being told to lay off selling - Jane street sued - CZ being tied down and forced to bid. - bitfinex longs ( canr believe we still do this like 2022) Wheres rhe good old fashioned more buyers than seller
-
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
-
William LEBRUN (@GameWillis) reported@bitfinex Too long… and btc is going down…
-
₿recht (@Brechtiey) reported@adam3us @bitfinex when the actual f**k is price going to follow these huge absoptions... how long does it take for price to catch up on reality...??? tick tock another block
-
NXS (@nxscryptofund) reported@adam3us @bitfinex Fix quantum. You are hurting BTC
-
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.
-
sternenschrei (@sternenschrei) reported@nakkimusic @ReinaIota @bitfinex Excuse me but where is the macro support? $0 ?
-
Spacat (@Spacatmon) reported@BitcoinSapiens Adam Back (Blockstream CEO) did once place a symbolic super-low limit order on exchanges like Bitfinex (around the late 2010s–2020) to buy the entire 21 million BTC supply at $0.01–$0.02 each. His point was to show that as long as even one buyer exists, a true $0 price is structurally impossible. However, that order was cancelled long ago. Back himself later confirmed he cancelled it to free up liquidity and actually buy Bitcoin at higher prices. (This has been referenced in multiple interviews and posts since 2020.)
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Ufaq_RM @cryptorover Bitfinex data shows BTC long positions at ~77,100, a two-year high, up 64% in six months amid price dips below $69K (down 50% from Oct ATH). Whales seem to be buying the dip, with >1,000 BTC addresses hitting 2,047. However, recent $2.5B liquidations hit longs hard. Market's volatile—could signal a reset, but no clear bottom yet. NFA.

Chad Pleb (@chad_agn) reported@CorySwan the tether/cbdc consortium is all slime/scammers, adam, bitfinex, cantor and whoever else shills that garbage
-
Unique Human | Changer ($CNG) (@changerofficial) reported@bitfinex Reduced supply pressure can support stronger price stability
-
Antigravity | Quant (@AntigravityScan) reported@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.

Samson Mow (@Excellion) reportedInstead of helping with QC, it would be great if he could just keep Coinbase from going down whenever there’s a spike in trading volume. Maybe he could use some technical support from @bitfinex engineers.
-
Ruppi Macho ✌️🧡😊 (@realrephy) reported@adam3us @bitfinex …and Stategy just bought another 50 days of supply and somehow down 5%. Lol
-
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: • $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.

EdgeTrading (@EdgeInvestingg) reported@intocryptoverse I do not know why you are comparing ISM to bitcoin in 2014. Bitcoin had no macro narrative at that time. It was a play of handful people with issues like Mt Gox, bitfinex hack etc. Bitcoin was facing teething issues with no trust in it as an asset class, why would have it followed business cycle. 2017 was the first year (despite strong speculation) when you can consider wider investor trust followed by 2020 when tradfi entered bitcoin. So comparing its move with ISM is useless in 2014. Check SPX / NDX during that time both went up approx 18% during the year. You are becoming Analysis Paralysis.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@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.
-
Marovit (@Marovit_ALTSS) reported@adam3us @bitfinex Yes but we are going down m8. And fronting the market dump as always! Predictions markets kinda give it to you if you cant see it by yourself. If the cycle reapeates itself! Till it doesnt I will believe in it. July August :)

$BigTrout Mode🌊🐟 (@BigTrout300__) reportedJane Street is not the reason BTC is down. Hope this helps! - 9 Fig Bitfinex Whale

⚡Eduardo 🇻🇪🇦🇷⚡ (@Codiox) reported@whalecalls @quadcommas Bitfinex 2015 flash crash will be forever burned in my retina. Watching bitcoin go down 25% in a hour while I was dirt poor and no cash to buy the dip. It was painful.

Zenith (@zenithtrades_x) reported@Chain_AlphaX @bitfinex Yeah nah, tariffs ≠ instant NGMI. The real issue is policy confusion, not memes.
