  @zackvoell The only exchange I remember that kept working was Bitfinex. Bitmex just went offline and wouldn't let anyone close their orders. It was madness.

  🚨 INSIDER HEIST: $46M CRYPTO STOLEN! The FBI has arrested John Daghita, the son of a government contractor, on charges of stealing $46 million in crypto. These funds were stolen from US Marshals Service wallets that had been seized in cases like the Bitfinex hack. Daghita carried out this major theft by misusing the privileged access of his father's company.

  @adam3us @bitfinex yet the price is down one day the short will have to cover

  @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.

  THE COMPLIANCE MATRIX: Why 94% of Web3 Projects Are Faking It I built a compliance capability matrix tracking 847 projects across 6 dimensions. The results are devastating. Here's what real compliance looks like vs. what most projects claim: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE SIX PILLARS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. TRAVEL RULE (FATF R.16) Requires: originator + beneficiary info on ALL transactions Reality check: • Coinbase: Full implementation ✓ • Binance: Partial (EU only) • 96% of CEXs: "In progress" for 3+ years The "sunrise problem" is real. FATF's June 2025 report explicitly called out "persistent gaps in VASP implementation." VASPs in lax jurisdictions have zero incentive to comply. The network effect fails. 2. AGENT KYC (Know Your Agent) The new frontier. 3,421 AI agents now move $8B+ monthly on DEXs. Who has native agent identity? • Virtuals Protocol: ERC-8004 compliant ✓ • Everyone else: Nothing This is the biggest compliance gap in Web3 right now. Agents have no passports. No identity framework. No accountability chain. Regulators haven't caught up yet—but they will. 3. PROOF OF RESERVES After FTX, everyone claimed transparency. Real-time, third-party audited reserves: • Kraken ✓ • Bitfinex ✓ • 89% of exchanges: "Trust us bro" Monthly attestations ≠ proof of reserves. If you can't verify it on-chain in real-time, it's marketing. 4. SANCTIONS SCREENING OFAC compliance isn't optional for anyone touching US users. Full OFAC + EU + UN screening: • Circle (USDC): Full ✓ • Fireblocks: Full ✓ • Most DeFi: Zero Tornado Cash was the warning shot. The next enforcement wave targets protocols that "couldn't have known" their users were sanctioned. 5. MARKET MANIPULATION DETECTION Wash trading, spoofing, layering—traditional finance crimes now in DeFi. Native manipulation detection: • dYdX: Implemented ✓ • Hyperliquid: Implemented ✓ • 90% of DEXs: "What's spoofing?" 6. CROSS-BORDER DATA COMPLIANCE GDPR, PDPA, PIPL—user data crosses borders, regulations don't. Full multi-jurisdiction data compliance: • Coinbase ✓ • Kraken ✓ • Most projects: Single-jurisdiction only ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE MATRIX VERDICT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I scored 847 projects. Here's the distribution: 6/6 pillars: 4 projects (0.5%) 5/6 pillars: 12 projects (1.4%) 4/6 pillars: 31 projects (3.7%) 3/6 pillars: 89 projects (10.5%) 2/6 pillars: 247 projects (29.2%) 1/6 pillars: 464 projects (54.8%) 94% of Web3 projects score 3/6 or below. The gap isn't a bug—it's a $50B+ infrastructure opportunity. Who builds the compliance layer that makes 94% → institutional-grade? That's the 2026 thesis. APAC FINSTAB tracks this weekly. The next cycle won't be won by the fastest chain. It'll be won by whoever solves compliance at scale. The matrix doesn't lie.

  @Ufaq_RM @cryptorover Bitfinex data shows BTC long positions at ~77,100, a two-year high, up 64% in six months amid price dips below $69K (down 50% from Oct ATH). Whales seem to be buying the dip, with >1,000 BTC addresses hitting 2,047. However, recent $2.5B liquidations hit longs hard. Market's volatile—could signal a reset, but no clear bottom yet. NFA.

  @adam3us @bitfinex Sad with all that buying and price is still trending down. Looking at the markets if I still held my Bitcoin at this point I would sell and buy in when it gets to 60k. Which is going to happen this year.

  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.

  @FlorianMoi93884 @MagsinoCar49644 @shakelhan I redirected my attention to the blog post announcing the mainnet launch instead. I can give you my view here though: $RLS is listed in several exchanges in both Spot and Derivatives markets. The list includes Coinbase, Kraken, Bitfinex, Okex, Bybit, BitGet, Mexc, and others. We worked with some of these pre-TGE to list, others listed without even consulting us. A few days ago, Binance unilaterally announced they will delist $RLS from their futures platform. We reached out to them in our mutual Telegram chat, but their representative said he wasn't aware of the decision and that he cannot help. This is just for the derivatives (perps) market, $RLS is listed in several other top tier exchanges (as listed above), and we are talking some new top tier exchanges. I used to be a fan of Binance...

  @Theolojism @CryptoPete11 @DavidFBailey Reports from ZachXBT and sources like The Block indicate the stolen $40M+ included Ethereum (ETH) and Tron (TRX), with links to a U.S. government Bitcoin wallet from the 2016 Bitfinex hack seizure. Not exclusively Bitcoin. No official gov confirmation yet.

  @adam3us @bitfinex Why do we have this **** price action ?

  @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.
