  @GoldPulseCrypto @bitfinex Maybe wouldn’t say we’re back to square one, considering the market has strong support above 75k after the end of the previous cycle. That’s positive, isn’t it, @GoldPulseCrypto ?

  @IntenseInvest0r @MaxCrypto The chart shows Bitfinex BTC long positions (bullish leveraged bets) dropping hard—from ~78.84M down to ~78.51M over ~36 hours. Whales are aggressively closing longs (reducing exposure/selling). Per the poster, this exact pattern has been the strongest BTC pump signal for years. Bullish setup! 🚀

  @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

  Cryptoinsightuk (@Cryptoinsightuk) reported 43 minutes ago

  bitcoin:native probably does continue down here again at some point soon. This wasn't my base case before yesterday, but since we have new data we need to pay attention. I think there is a liquidation event to come. Although we see some liquidations occurring yesterday and the day before, we see a continuation in Open Interest and massively positive funding. This suggests we have people going leverage long here in size. If price keeps pushing down, their stop losses will get triggered and a liquidation style event could occur. This isn't inevitable, but looks likely here. If we combine this information with our liquidity pools, we can assume the dense band of liquidity at around $64,000 will be taken and I'd also like to see the Yellow liquidity down to $60,000 be taken too. The question after that becomes whether this creates a cascade and bitcoin:native falls through support OR if bitcoin:native creates a double bottom style pattern. This discussion is a difficult one. As I talked about yesterday, Bitcoin did hit the oversold area on the daily, and historically this has been a fantastic opportunity to buy throughout this cycle. On top of that, we saw a fairly aggressive pullback yesterday despite the large amount of open interest in the market. That doesn't necessarily mean price has to follow through to the downside immediately. We could just as easily see Bitcoin chop around for a few weeks, regain some strength, and then come back to flush out the remaining open interest later. In other words, it doesn't have to continue straight down from here. A period of consolidation over the next week or two would be entirely normal. Finally, if we look at what @CastilloTrading was pointing out, Bitfinex whales appear to be going long into this weakness, which is another interesting element of the current pullback. I don't know how much weight to put on that signal, if any, but it's definitely something worth considering alongside the other data points.

  📚 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. 🦁

  Bitcoin hit $71k+ on Iran ceasefire relief, but the rally is turning cautious for 3 clear reasons: • Bitfinex leveraged long positions are stuck near multi-year highs (80,057 BTC) — classic contrarian signal that hasn’t unwound despite the 15%+ bounce from $60k. • Muted U.S. institutional demand — Coinbase Premium Index is flipping between premium and discount (no strong buying conviction). • Crypto stocks barely moving (Coinbase +1.5%, MicroStrategy +3%) while Nasdaq/S&P rip higher. We yet to see real institutional conviction. Do you think $BTC will break the $70k support zone or this is just a market pump due to noise?

  Tender Market Research (@Tradebeta2) reported 60 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.
