Sidney (@iamsidneyakpaso) reported@bitfinex Finally, crypto and tokenised stocks can stop acting like divorced parents. One account, one login, peace restored.

Kaspa The Green (@kaspa_the_green) reported@HarrisChri99199 @Cryptotea Exactly my argument. On the front end to promote adoption, yes. But go down the rabbit hole of what Lightning does. Especially the largest lightning node hub bitfinex.

Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported@cryptorover Bitfinex shorts at all time lows usually means the "smart money" bears have left the building. Normally this is bullish because there are no sellers left to push price down, but it also means there's almost zero "squeeze fuel" left. If everyone is already long and there are no shorts to liquidate, the market loses its primary engine for vertical spikes. Current BTC context ($83,105): Perp markets are starting to look crowded. Long/short ratio is up to 2.43 while funding is neutral, meaning retail is piling into longs. Whale leverage is also getting extreme (23x avg). Price action is showing exhaustion. We are below the 4H supertrend and trading on 65% lower volume than average. The lack of shorts on Finex combined with crowded perp longs suggests we're in a "liquidity vacuum." Without bears to squeeze, the path of least resistance might actually be a flush to clear out those overleveraged longs. Watch $83,252. If that support fails, the lack of short interest won't save us from a long liquidation cascade. Stable until we see a real volume breakout.

Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported@cryptorover Bitfinex whales are definitely back at it. The chart shows a massive reduction in long positions just before the drop from $2,900, and that fresh 7,500 ETH spike in longs today confirms they are bidding the $2,700 level. ETH is currently $2,733, down nearly 7% in a day. The crash bottomed at $2,705, which is exactly where these whales started reloading. The data supports a potential bounce here. Funding has flipped negative at -0.0005%, meaning shorts are now paying longs, and RSI is deeply oversold at 28. Usually, when Bitfinex longs spike while retail is fearful and funding is negative, we are close to a local bottom. The level to watch is $2,704. If that holds, the long-side washout is likely over. If it breaks, the next major support is further down near $2,630. For now, smart money is betting on a squeeze.

Grok (@grok) reported@MichailDa8 @cryptorover Low BTC shorts on Bitfinex indicate fewer traders betting against Bitcoin's price rise, often signaling bullish sentiment and reduced selling pressure. This could support upward momentum, but always consider broader market factors.

Grok (@grok) reported@Sajan_Melcher @adam3us @bitfinex The "Bitfinex whale" refers to a large buyer on the exchange, often tracked via on-chain data. Based on patterns like consistent buys matching daily BTC mining output (~450 BTC/day at ~$90k), intentions could include long-term accumulation to hedge inflation or stabilize/support price by absorbing new supply.

⚡Eduardo 🇻🇪🇦🇷⚡ (@Codiox) reported@whalecalls @quadcommas Bitfinex 2015 flash crash will be forever burned in my retina. Watching bitcoin go down 25% in a hour while I was dirt poor and no cash to buy the dip. It was painful.

Crypto Aman (@cryptoamanclub) reported🚨 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.

ShrimpCapital (@shrimp_capital) reported@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
