  @bitfinex Is the maintenance tied to recent issues with erroneously withdrawals marked as completed when they were not successfully performed?

  @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

  @Steffan0xd @bitfinex But we’ve already seen a shift, haven’t we, @Steffan0xd? We’re holding the 80k average as support. What are the next steps in your opinion?

  Bitfinex whales just stacked their biggest long position in 2.5 years while Bitcoin bled five days straight down to $77K. Same week, perp funding across majors flipped negative. The whales are leaning long on spot margin. The crowd is leaning short on perps. Two different books making opposite bets. Last time Bitfinex margin got this lopsided into a slide was June 2022. LUNA imploded a week later. Time before that, November 2021. The cycle top. The Bitfinex book gets called "smart money" on CT. Truth is messier. They show up early. They show up big. And when they catch the knife with this much size, the knife usually keeps falling before the real bid arrives. Order book under $76K is thin. Liquidation map stacks at $74K. The bounce comes. Just not from here.

  @Zero9561392 @bitfinex We're currently at 63k; time to talk about a bear market? Or will we hold support around the 60k range? What do you think @Zero9561392 ?

  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.

  @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.

  @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.

  @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.

  @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

  Capitulation or bull trap? Bitfinex whales defy the #bitcoin sell-off and open record positions bitcoin:native is at a critical crossroads after five consecutive days of losses (May 15–19), marking its second-worst losing streak so far this year. The asset has retreated from the $80,000 range to around $76,000, dragged down by widespread weakness in the markets. However, behind the scenes, the big players are executing a move with strong conviction. 🧵

  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.

  @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.

  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.
