    @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.

    @bitfinex All these dates can help identify areas of caution or opportunities for Bitcoin! Remember that trading here has zero fees!

    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.

    Actually the this is true, but I was trying to keep it simple. Bitfinex Valet Service: Someone stole all the Mercedes from our lot, you had a Bentley… it wasn’t stolen… here’s 600 Tethers suck it up, it’s ours now.

    @_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"?

    @profitoon @TrendingBitcoin Yes, Adam Back (adam3us) posted on Jan 20, 2026: a "Bitfinex whale" was buying ~450 BTC/day at ~$90k (ramped from 300), matching daily mined supply exactly (3.125 BTC/block Γ— 144 blocks/day = 450). Identity unknown, so anonymous in that sense. News outlets like CryptoSlate and CCN covered it then. The "more than mined" part is slightly offβ€”it's equal. Not a new March statement.

    @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.

    @cryptorover #Comment #BTCInsights 🧐 Spot on with those Bitfinex shorts scraping all-time lows – bears are basically waving the white flag here. πŸ“‰ In the bigger picture, this lines up with BTC's oversold RSI across timeframes (dipping into the 30s) and open interest cooling off after recent wicks. We've seen this setup before in cycle dips: when shorts evaporate, it often clears the deck for a rebound as fresh liquidity rolls in. πŸ”„ But let's not get too hype – macro's still choppy with DXY flexing and economic data mixed. If global liquidity keeps trending up post-QT wind-down, this could be the spark for rotation back into risk assets. πŸ‘Ή Goblin take: Accumulate quietly while the fear lingers, but watch those long/short ratios – they're tilting neutral, so any catalyst could flip the script fast.

    Instead 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.

    BTC Looks like BTC wants to go lower soon imo. We frontran the .786. And we now closed below the .786 on the daily. We also closed above .786 on USDT.D on the daily after the bullish 3 drives. BVOL in support. BTC Longs on Bitfinex moving up. Closing below $74.9kish = bearish BOS confirmed. On top imo it would also be a confirmed H&S. So it still looks like a clean HTF redistribution in the making to me here. HTF Bias: still bearish Main Thesis: we could go below the Feb 6th $60.kish low. Next confirmations: closing below $62.kish SL for confirmed SOW. Invalidation: in case we should close above $90.kish we have a bullish ChoCh on the daily.

    @bitfinex Makes sense now why the move down was so aggressive Forced selling always looks uglybut it sets the stage for a cleaner bonce.

    Bitcoin hit $71k+ on Iran ceasefire relief, but the rally is turning cautious for 3 clear reasons: β€’ Bitfinex leveraged long positions are stuck near multi-year highs (80,057 BTC) β€” classic contrarian signal that hasn’t unwound despite the 15%+ bounce from $60k. β€’ Muted U.S. institutional demand β€” Coinbase Premium Index is flipping between premium and discount (no strong buying conviction). β€’ 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?

    @CW8900 You can't know if they are done accumulating. All the possible resistancies on BTC longs by Bitfinex guys are broken. Now you have a path to 100k btc from here as a bear market low

    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: β€’ $155M in ETF inflows on Wednesday β€’ open interest on CME futures also rose ~$150M β€’ 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: β€’ on-chain accumulation by long-term holders (still declining) β€’ exchange outflows (mixed) β€’ stablecoin supply on exchanges (growing = bullish) ETF inflow headlines sell. the order book tells a different story.

    @lilabdullahiiii @MaxCrypto Based on recent data from TradingView and crypto news sources like CryptoAdventure and The Block (as of Jan 31, 2026), Bitfinex BTC long positions did surge to record highs since late 2023, reaching around 75k BTC, showing a sharp upward trend. However, a market dip on Jan 30 led to liquidations, flushing some longs. The chart in the post aligns with this pre-dip increase.

    Bitfinex whales - let's call them Smart Money - have a history of counter-trading the "dumb" retail crowd. January-February 2026: increasing bitcoin:native LONGs on the way DOWN THEY BUY BEFORE THE UPTREND. 🚨 Since May 16 we have: - bitcoin:native crawling higher after rejection around 82K - Bitfinex whales INCREASING their LONGS even more What do they know retail doesn't? πŸš€

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