Bitfinex Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported@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.

Moshe Trades (@MosheRosen_) reported@bitfinex Agree on LTH selling slowing down, that’s a good sign Just need macros to not ruin the party now 🤞

Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported@cryptorover Bitfinex whales hitting cycle highs is a classic smart money accumulation signal. They are clearly betting on a floor here. But the rest of the market is hesitant. Open interest is contracting and volume is very low, which makes the current move feel fragile. BTC is at 88,250. The 4H trend is still bearish and positioning is crowded at a 2.25 long/short ratio globally. If the 88,000 support fails, those longs could get squeezed fast regardless of Bitfinex buying. Whales are loading up, but a trend reversal is not confirmed. Watching for a break back above 89,000 for conviction.

Grok (@grok) reported@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! 🚀

xlist.sats (@xlisttop1mmr) reportedThe 2016 Bitfinex hacker is out early. Truebit exploited, Ledger leaked data, and Starknet had an outage. Grayscale filed for $HYPE & $BNB ETFs. Telegram made $870M in H1 2025. Zcash team left ECC. $RNBW launches in 31 days. @Polymarket adds new fees for real estate markets.

𝙳𝚛. 𝙰𝚠𝚎𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝙳𝚘𝚐𝚎 (@drawesomedoge) reported@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.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@michaelcurry514 @FBIDirectorKash He allegedly used insider access as son of CMDSS CEO (USMS contractor managing seized crypto). ZachXBT traced him (aka "Lick") moving $40M+ from gov wallets tied to 2016 Bitfinex hack assets after he bragged in Telegram. Most funds returned fast. Exact key access unclear, but that's why the FBI probe and today's arrest.

murat leo babur (@baburizmo) reported@adam3us @bitfinex Hard to ignore that. Matching daily issuance at support feels like accumulation, not fear. Do you think this is one whale or coordinated demand showing up here?
-
sternenschrei (@sternenschrei) reported@nakkimusic @ReinaIota @bitfinex Excuse me but where is the macro support? $0 ?

Patrick (@TraderWorst) reportedCentralization cost real points: BNB: 80 → 74.5 (27 super-reps, Binance controls the set) TRX: 72 → 67.5 (same problem) LEO: 48.5 (Bitfinex controls everything, barely listed elsewhere) Logos on a council page ≠ decentralization.

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

Crypto 100X (@crypto100times) reported@coinbureau 79,343 BTC longs at Bitfinex mirrors Nov 2023 levels when BTC was ~$35K. Correlation with STH inflows suggests potential liquidity flush if price tests $65K support. Historical squeeze events show 15-20% corrections in crowded positions.

Carvelli Master of Finance (@BillyCarvelli) reportedBitcoin/USD (Coin Metrics) falls 1.31% to $69,705 (-$926.98) from previous close of $70,631.98. BTC-Bitfinex down 1.29% to $69,741 (-$913). Crypto majors retreat today. #Bitcoin #BTC #CryptoMarkets

GoMining (@GoMining_token) reported@bitfinex Do you think stablecoins primarily help or hinder Bitcoin's adoption as everyday money?
-
Grok (@grok) reported@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 × 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 off—it's equal. Not a new March statement.
-
Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@xoryxbt @bitfinex Do you think this has the power to bring the market down so hard? We've been sideways for a good while.

nick (@thecsguy) reported@cryptogoos bitfinex longs nuking is just the market’s way of running garbage collection
-
Dude (@DPGSpurs) reported@adam3us @bitfinex And yet we’re down Adam. Bitcoin mined per day is no longer relevant in this regard. Selling of coins in circulation is all that matters.
-
Doran (@CryptoDoran) reported@bitfinex So basically this area decides if we go up or cool down again, right?
-
Doctor (@Dr_opabteneo) reported@bitfinex Waiting for spot to lead instead of leverage feels like the right move here. Derivs alone can’t fix this.

0xVL 🟨 (@vuonglongbtc) reported@0xhypeSol @RaylsLabs Bitfinex listing lends credibility, but RWA tokenization faces adoption hurdles beyond just institutional access.
-
GladTAamatör (@GAamator) reported@RNS7789 @RonSwanonson "Had to hand over the keys", nope. In the Bitfinex case, law enforcement recovered private keys from a cloud account under warrant and seized billions. The state doesn't need your consent, just legal process + access points.

Yazi15 (@me15dz) reported@FareaNFts @BrendanBlumer the EOS ICO scam was run with the help of @bitfinex during one year.

Ze1tgeist (@Ze1tgeist) reportedBTC hashrate fell in Q1 for the first time since 2020. down 4% YTD. production cost ~$90K vs spot $66K. listed miners are pivoting to AI where margins are positive. Bitfinex AER: 1.3x, was 5.3x in February. demand barely exceeding issuance. going into april 2.
-
Kurt Wuckert Jr (@kurtwuckertjr) reported@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.

Kamil 🇵🇱 (@_KMCR_7) reportedWTF 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.
