  @IcoMarketer @bitfinex A new support at 78k–80k would be interesting. We could have a very short bear market. What strategy are you adopting, @IcoMarketer?

  📚 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. 🦁

  @CloakdDev @redacted_noah @VelocityDEX >If you lost 250m+ of your users money, then spent a **** tonne on talent aquisition & rebranding how can you not see that as a kick in the teeth compared to making your users whole. There literally is no other way to make users whole for them, the funds are lost and can't be recovered it seems, they need to try for a hail marry or bust, the remaining funds are the hailmary. Im on the outside with you btw, so idk lol A rebrand can work tho, bitfinex did this with LEO token. theres precedence to it working out for users. More USDT coming to Solana would be great too for everyone. Just seems like a good idea. >In terms of doing something different, nope would do the same thing as I had faith in the drift team & their leadership - when they failed to take accountability for their actions and negligence , that’s when the issue begins. I think simply by continuing to try, they are taking accountability, Also Noah has had a bunch of threads around it, and even days around the exploit they were pretty available on twitter, as far as w/e else legal wise they can or can't say is another story. Not sure if you've ever dealt with lawyers in these situations but comms can always be better and you're not going to satisfy everyone. Theres nuance to what you can say. They are trying more than other protocols i've seen. >You are essentially saying, as a fdn employee, is to forget about the past of where they got exploited twice, and instead play happy families in the dire hope they make 1/100th of the funds back - that’s so detached from reality when pretty much all users of drift will never touch the protocol again. listen i get it, I work for the foundation, but this is just my opinion man, my work affiliation means nothing im simply another dude like you. >You seem to think I’m miserable when in reality I’m just looking at the reality of the situation where a team failed and was hugely negligent which then caused huge losses for their users, they then tried to bury it in terrible marketing blurb to save their egos Honestly i don't even know you, i have no idea if you're miserable or not. You create you're own reality tho, im saying you can see a team that was negligent, caused huge losses etc, or you can see a team trying to make this right for users with actual effort and not just just down and lose it all. Im a glass half full guy, no glass half empty. >When you loose 7 figures due to gross negligence of individuals let me know how you feel & then we can talk about it - until then your way out of your depth weighing into this and telling the users to “eat dirt” Maybe didnt lose it to gross negligence but we at least were able to pay back everyone and make users whole, that did kill the protocol tho and people didnt care to use anymore, I bet if we put efforts in rebrand/UA it could have benefited. It's one reason i think the rebrand actually is beneficial. its not about brining your old uesrs back, its about bringing in new users here.

  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.

  @SteveSimple Directly, no. Indirectly, a strong showing on prediction markets would influence miners' (and everyone's) thinking/support. This is even a point Mechanic has made on the Roundtable before re Bitfinex 2017 futures. Pleb-funded hash or pleb-funded HODL demand, potato poTAHto.

  @_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"?

  Really strong stuff. There’s a lot of precedent for successfully navigating an event like this in defi. Bitfinex repaid 36% of customer assets in 8 months and came back stronger than before. Euler lost $197M, made everyone whole, and relaunched bigger than it ever was. Crypto doesn't punish teams for getting hit but for leaving holes. This is textbook comms so far.

  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.

  Bitcoin rebounded above $77,000 this morning. Bitfinex margin longs just hit a 2.5-year high — traders are doubling down on this dip, not running from it. BlackRock buying. Saudi Arabia tokenizing. Traders loading longs at 2.5-year highs.

  Tender Market Research (@Tradebeta2) reported 55 minutes ago

  In August 2016, the crypto world woke up to chaos. Bitfinex, one of the biggest Bitcoin exchanges at the time, announced that hackers had stolen 119,756 BTC from customer accounts. Back then, it was worth around $72 million. At modern Bitcoin prices, that stash would be worth billions today. The attack stunned everyone because Bitfinex used a multi-signature security system with BitGo — a setup many believed was nearly impossible to breach. Yet somehow, the hackers found a way. Panic spread instantly. Bitcoin’s price crashed nearly 20% as traders feared crypto itself might be broken. Users rushed to withdraw funds from exchanges. Trust vanished overnight. But the real twist came years later. In 2022, U.S. authorities arrested a married couple: Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan. Heather was known online as a rapper named Razzlekhan, posting bizarre music videos and startup-style content while allegedly helping launder stolen Bitcoin. The internet couldn’t believe it. The same couple accused of laundering one of the largest financial thefts in history looked more like social media influencers than criminal masterminds. Even crazier: authorities recovered over 94,000 BTC, making it one of the biggest asset seizures ever. Sometimes the wildest stories are real. Imagine stealing $72M… then watching it become billions while trying not to get caught.

  The reason you should block these accounts. Bitfinex whales are what you should counter trade, they are smart money but the way this morron makes all think like.
