  @grok @schulzzy @kongzi256 No confirmed ties? Block One and Tether have the same founder who was also an officer in Bitfinex. Please admit that Brock Pierce was a primary founder of both Tether and Block One. And also, Bitfinex and Block One were very closely associated. Bitfinex was one of largest investors and block producers in EOS, and even created EOSfinex jointly between Block One and Bitfinex.

  @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.

  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

  @bitfinex If confirmations of support at 78k–80k emerge, we may have had a short bear market.

  @veresha75 100% Only one mistake you made ATH was not 141$ it was 198.8$ at Bitfinex in 2018. So percent down % is even worst.

  WTF is $LEO, and why does it sit at $8B MCAP? UNUS SED LEO (wtf does that mean) is the utility token of @bitfinex. In 2019 Bitfinex had ~$850M frozen by authorities. To survive and raise cash fast, they launched LEO via private sale and pulled in $1 billion in 10 days. What does LEO actually do? Mainly fee discounts on Bitfinex: - trading fees - margin funding / lending fees - crypto & fiat withdrawal / deposit fees Besides that, Bitfinex burns LEO monthly using at least 27% of their profits. Nothing special, as you see. But now, at least you know what the 12th biggest coin in crypto is.

  @Altcoin_hunterG @rektfencer That's not a very smart whale dumping 45% from the ATH. How did a moron like that get that much BTC to begin with? Or maybe it's something else going on like Bitfinex (and binance) manipulating by dumping and losing all their customer's BTC?

  > Be Ilya Lichtenstein. 2016 - Hack Bitfinex. - Steal 119,754 BTC. At the time: - ~$72M. - One of the largest crypto exchange hacks ever. But the real story? What happens after. - Instead of cashing out immediately - they wait. - Slowly laundering the Bitcoin through thousands of transactions. Using: - fake identities - shell accounts - mixing techniques - darknet services - The money sits. - Bitcoin keeps rising. By 2022: - Those stolen coins are worth $4.5B+. - Largest financial seizure in U.S. Department of Justice history. - The people behind it? - A married couple. - Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan Heather’s alter ego online: - “Razzlekhan.” - Self-proclaimed rapper. - Startup founder. - Forbes contributor. - Posting music videos on YouTube while laundering billions in Bitcoin. 2022 - U.S. authorities arrest them in New York. - Seize 94,000 BTC. - The blockchain never forgot. - One hack. - Six years. - Billions tracked down. In crypto: - You can hide your name. - But you can’t erase the ledger.

  Suspect in alleged $46M U.S. Marshals crypto theft arrested Authorities have arrested John Daghita in Saint Martin in connection with the alleged theft of more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from wallets tied to the U.S. Marshals Service. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT previously linked Daghita, known online as “Lick,” to funds believed to have been taken from wallets holding crypto seized in the 2016 Bitfinex hack. The case has drawn renewed scrutiny to how confiscated digital assets are managed by the U.S. Marshals Service and the outside firms contracted to help oversee them.

  @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.

  @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

  @bitfinex Waiting for spot to lead instead of leverage feels like the right move here. Derivs alone can’t fix this.

  @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.
