Grok (@grok) reported@srqhappy99 @JacobKinge @1NationUnderXRP No, that's not accurate. My search of court documents and reports shows no such admission by Tether's lawyers. A 2018 internal Bitfinex email warned BTC could drop below $1K amid reserve issues, but it's not a court admission about Tether propping up prices. Tether settled related NYAG probes in 2021 without admitting wrongdoing. Sources: NYAG filings, Bitcoin Magazine.

LamboWhale (@LamboWhale) reported@Acashadow11 @SGBarbour In financial lingo, just because you have a custodial relationship does not mean you are a custodian...custodians have tight controls and an audited SOC 1 and can't rehypothecate customer assets ...clearly blockfills was not a custodian anymore than Bitfinex, Bittrex or binance

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.

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.

corndogman (@cornd0gman) reported@BigTrout300 "Bitfinex data, longs, dominance etc is extremely ****** powerful. They're never wrong, Bitfinex & Tether move the space & I respect them." Where can i learn more about this? I want to stay in crypto for the long run and think this would help me cut out the noise.

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.

elvbyte (@elvbyte) reported@Kristian_Kho I think alot of exchanges got hit with regulatory issues when it came to XMR especially the EU I know they are the biggest anti XMR guys. Do you know where bitfinex is based ? maybe that explains why

muro (@Mrt_BK) reported@adam3us @bitfinex Sir 2021 btc 70k 2026 btc 90l what Problem?
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Invest_Hesi @btcjvs It's counterintuitive because closing longs (taking profits) involves selling BTC, which can pressure prices down. However, some analysts view Bitfinex whale reductions as a contrarian signal—indicating they've locked in gains ahead of further upside, or shifting to spot holdings for a bigger rally. Historically, their moves have timed rallies well, but it's not guaranteed. Current BTC ~$90k, so $100k would be a 11% jump.

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

𝙳𝚛. 𝙰𝚠𝚎𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝙳𝚘𝚐𝚎 (@drawesomedoge) reported@bitfinex El Salvador took the bet when every IMF economist said it was insane. Three years later: Bitcoin bonds oversubscribed, tourism up, and the country became a pilgrimage site for Bitcoiners worldwide. The biggest risk was never adopting Bitcoin. It was waiting for permission to do so.

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.

The Quantum Thinker (@iamsaintju) reportedBittensor decentralizes AI model training through incentivized nodes, creating a marketplace for AI services with $ multi-B cap potential as AI-blockchain convergence grows. Institutional support (e.g., from Bitfinex and AI agent payments) and on-chain metrics (network value from model submissions) suggest 3-5x upside in a bull cycle. As the highest-cap AI crypto, it's positioned for ETF-like products and partnerships.

Dan @BeAWhale (@BeAWhale_io) reportedBitcoin Longs Just Hit a Two-Year High on Bitfinex (And Nobody's Talking About It) Let me tell you what just happened. #Bitcoin long positions on #Bitfinex hit their highest level since April 2022. We're talking $665 million in open interest. That's massive. But here's the weird part: Bitcoin's price is still stuck around $84,000. Usually when longs pile up like this, the market moves. So why the disconnect? Traders are betting big on a rally to $100K, but the price action isn't following yet. Some analysts think this is the calm before the storm. Others worry it's a setup for a brutal long squeeze if Bitcoin breaks down instead of up. Here's what makes this interesting: The last time we saw positioning like this, Bitcoin was either about to explode higher or crash hard. No middle ground. Right now, the market is coiling. All that leverage is waiting for a catalyst. The question isn't if Bitcoin moves. It's which direction.

HiddenEquitiesX (@HiddenEquitiesX) reported@cryptorover Smart money is doubling down while retail panics about the government shutdown. 73k+ BTC longs on Bitfinex is a massive signal. If we hold the $85k support, the liquidations up to $100k look like a magnet. 🚀 Great update @CryptoRover
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Junior_TheDog @AshCrypto Closing long positions means selling BTC (or unwinding bets on price rises), which can temporarily pressure prices down. However, when whales do this rapidly (like on Bitfinex), it often signals profit-taking at highs, clearing over-leveraged positions. Historically, this has preceded pumps, as seen in the 50% rally from $74k to $112k—possibly because it resets the market for new buying. Opening longs would indeed build bullish momentum, but closings can mark the end of a dip before uplift. Always DYOR!

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

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?

Market Genius (@marketgeniusx) reported$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.

Carvelli Master of Finance (@BillyCarvelli) reportedBitcoin down ~2.8–2.9% across platforms: Coin Metrics -2.92% ($90,387.09), Bitfinex -2.82% ($90,486). Volatility spikes. #BTC #CryptoMarkets #CryptoUpdate
-
Grok (@grok) reported@MichailDa8 @cryptorover Low BTC shorts on Bitfinex indicate fewer traders betting against Bitcoin's price rise, often signaling bullish sentiment and reduced selling pressure. This could support upward momentum, but always consider broader market factors.

Jin-zhi.me (@Off2000G45368) reported@TedPillows Solid wall at $94–95K! $127M+ in BTC bids stacked between $94k and $95k on Bitfinex/Binance/Kraken that's a massive buy zone. If we break and close above $95k, bulls take full control and shorts get wrecked. Chart looks primed for a push – volume building, order book thick on the bid side. 95k flip to support incoming? Who's betting on the breakout? 🚀🐂
