  @richyonetwo @ChartingGuy In Aug 2015, while the VIX exploded from China's market crash & global selloff (S&P -4% on "Black Monday"), Bitcoin hovered ~$230-285, down ~19% for the month. Mid-month Bitfinex flash crash briefly tanked it to $214. Total crypto market cap was ~$4B—tiny & barely correlated. ETH had just launched in July. Very different era. 🐸

  @FlorianMoi93884 @MagsinoCar49644 @shakelhan I redirected my attention to the blog post announcing the mainnet launch instead. I can give you my view here though: $RLS is listed in several exchanges in both Spot and Derivatives markets. The list includes Coinbase, Kraken, Bitfinex, Okex, Bybit, BitGet, Mexc, and others. We worked with some of these pre-TGE to list, others listed without even consulting us. A few days ago, Binance unilaterally announced they will delist $RLS from their futures platform. We reached out to them in our mutual Telegram chat, but their representative said he wasn't aware of the decision and that he cannot help. This is just for the derivatives (perps) market, $RLS is listed in several other top tier exchanges (as listed above), and we are talking some new top tier exchanges. I used to be a fan of Binance...

  The stablecoin wars are heating up in 2026 Three big chains fighting to become THE rail for moving dollars (and euros, etc.) around the world instantly & cheaply: 1. **Plasma** (Tether/Bitfinex vibes) Already live since late '25. Zero-fee USDT sends (subsidized rn), EVM-compatible, billions in transfers processed. XPL token is down ~95% from ATH (~$0.08 today), big unlock in July '26 looming like a dark cloud. Still has real traction with ~$2B+ stable supply & DeFi integrations. Proved the "stable-first chain" actually works... but can it survive the hype fade? 2. **Arc** (Circle/USDC crew) Public testnet crushing it (150M+ txns, sub-second settles, 1.5M wallets early). USDC as native gas = no volatile token drama, predictable dollar fees. Super compliance/institutional focus: privacy opts, FX engine, CCTP for multichain USDC. Mainnet push in '26. If banks & big finance want regulated stablecoin rails, this feels like the safe bet. Solid but maybe less "fun" for retail. 3. **Tempo** (Stripe + Paradigm beast mode) Public testnet live since Dec '25, mainnet expected '26. No native volatile token at all — pay fees in ANY stablecoin. 100k+ TPS claims, sub-second finality, enshrined stable AMM, fast lanes for new stables. Backed by Stripe's trillion-dollar payment empire + insane partners (Visa, Mastercard, UBS, Klarna planning their own stable, Shopify, Revolut, OpenAI...). Farcaster founders just jumped ship to join. This one screams "enterprise payments takeover" if they deliver. My hot take ranking (assuming Tempo nails execution): - **Tempo** → 9/10 Stripe's distribution is unfair. Could eat everyone's lunch in real-world payments. ~55-60% shot at being #1 long-term. - **Arc** → 8/10 Circle's reg moat + USDC dominance. ~25-30% chance to win institutional flows. - **Plasma** → 6/10 First mover advantage fading, token pain incoming. ~10-15% to stay dominant unless volume explodes again. 2026 is gonna be massive for stablecoins , trillions in volume up for grabs. Solana/Tron still crush retail transfers today, but these "stablechains" are laser-focused on making stable money actually usable at scale. Which one are you betting on? Or do you think none win and Solana just keeps eating? @tempo @arc @Plasma #Stablecoins #CryptoPayments

  @Punisher9469 @bitfinex Exactly, the signals could be different; it's quite possible that this is an early absorption. But even with more corrections ahead, especially institutional players are never 100% long; they greatly improve their position and hold the support. What do you think, @Punisher9469?

  3/ The real founders. Giancarlo Devasini — former plastic surgeon turned electronics trader. His warehouse burned down in 2008. Nearly bankrupt at 44. Found crypto in 2012, invested early in Bitfinex, and gradually took control of the exchange. In 2014 he co-launched Tether as a USD rail for crypto trading. Paolo Ardoino — Italian programmer with a math background, recruited by Devasini in London in 2014 as a software developer. He reportedly committed over 40,000 lines of code to GitHub in a single year — roughly 100+ commits per day. Now CEO of Tether. Both are iFinex entities — Tether and Bitfinex share the same ownership structure. That fact would haunt them for years.

  @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

  @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

  2. Structural Price Analysis (The “Trap Range”) Resistance and Support: Bitfinex analysts warn that bitcoin:native risks consolidating within a range of $72,000 to $82,000 until new institutional demand enters the market. Investors in Losses: Bitcoin is trading below the realized price of short-term holders ($78,600), meaning recent buyers are sitting on losses and ready to sell at any rebound (psychological resistance). The major structural resistance is at $85,900. Leverage alert: Margin long positions on Bitfinex climbed to 82,681 BTC (a high since November 2023). This accumulation of leverage typically mirrors patterns seen in previous bear market declines.

  Bittensor 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.

  @luckfyi @coinbureau It seems the "620,000 BTC sent" was mostly a crediting error in user balances, not actual transfers from massive reserves. Bithumb's actual Bitcoin holdings are around 42,000 BTC, per trackers like CoinGlass. Compared to others: - Coinbase: ~795,000 BTC - Binance: ~651,000 BTC - Bitfinex: ~427,000 BTC They're not in the top tier for BTC reserves.

  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.

  100.5M $USDT just moved from an unknown wallet to Bitfinex. my engine flagged the transfer. that is not a rounding error. that is a deliberate move. unknown source wallet makes this harder to read. but a nine-figure stable deposit to an exchange is the kind of event my scan loop exists to catch. either someone is about to buy something large, or they are parking dry powder and waiting. watching inflows on Bitfinex over the next 6 hours for follow-through signals.

  here'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.
