Bitfinex Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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! 🚀

muro (@Mrt_BK) reported@adam3us @bitfinex Sir 2021 btc 70k 2026 btc 90l what Problem?

Jin-zhi.me (@Off2000G45368) reported@TedPillows Solid wall at $94–95K! $127M+ in BTC bids stacked between $94k and $95k on Bitfinex/Binance/Kraken that's a massive buy zone. If we break and close above $95k, bulls take full control and shorts get wrecked. Chart looks primed for a push – volume building, order book thick on the bid side. 95k flip to support incoming? Who's betting on the breakout? 🚀🐂

Matt Garnett (@_MtGarnett) reported@vaportoshi Hey, Sounds like their KYC or banking rails are blocking the fiat leg. Bitfinex fiat withdrawals fail before the transfer if something’s off. I can help pinpoint it quickly if they want, there are a couple of checks most people miss

Market Genius (@marketgeniusx) reported$27M is 0.9% of their $3B position. That is not a dump, that is a rounding error. More likely Bitfinex margin collateral or OTC facilitation. Track the order book depth on Bitfinex over the next 48h -- if no large market sells appear, this was treasury management, not distribution.

Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@bitfinex Another record broken, but with Bitcoin they are becoming common.

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

RiskRewardGuru (@riskrewardguru) reported@bitfinex yeah that rotation had people excited for a sec… this drain definitely slowed things down but not game over imo

0xsimba ⌘ (🌸, 🌿) 🛸 (@0xbrel) reported@bitfinex This is the divergence nobody's talking about enough. Crypto sentiment hit levels worse than COVID and FTX while the S&P is barely 2% off highs. That gap has to close. Either equities catch down or crypto catches up. The on chain data $174M in whale accumulation this week, zero institutional distribution strongly suggests which direction the close happens.

Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported@TedPillows Whale withdrawals are usually a bullish signal, but this $73M move from Bitfinex is fighting a heavy technical tide. ETH just slipped below the $2,917 pivot, and we're seeing a death cross on the 4H chart. The $2,888 level is where things get interesting. Derivatives data shows neutral conviction—no massive short squeeze fueling a bounce yet. While RSI is oversold at 28.0, we need to see ETH reclaim and hold $2,917 to call this a real bottom. If that level doesn't hold, the whale might just be early. Next major support sits at $2,771. Watching for a volume spike to confirm if others follow the whale's lead.

Kenan Asher Dudok (@KenanAsherDudok) reported@cz_binance How many people gave money to a trusted and verified bitcoin exchange and then found out the exchange robbed them of their money and bitcoin? — 🧨 1. Mt. Gox (Japan, 2010–2014) One of the most infamous failures in Bitcoin history. At its peak Mt. Gox handled over 70 % of all Bitcoin transactions worldwide. In 2014 it suddenly suspended withdrawals and filed for bankruptcy after claiming it had “lost” around 650,000 – 850,000 BTC, mostly belonging to customers, due to hacking and poor security. Only about 200,000 BTC were later found.  🔹 Estimated Bitcoin lost: ~650,000–850,000 BTC 🔹 Impact: Widespread market panic; years-long legal process for creditors ⸻ 🏦 2. FTX (Bahamas / U.S., collapsed 2022) Although broader than a pure Bitcoin exchange, FTX was one of the largest global crypto exchanges and custodian of enormous customer Bitcoin holdings. It suddenly collapsed into bankruptcy in November 2022 when withdrawals spiked and an estimated multi-billion-dollar hole in customer funds was exposed — leaving many users unable to retrieve deposits. Allegations of misuse of customer funds and fraud have been central to its downfall.  🔹 Losses: Billions of USD in customer assets (including Bitcoin and other crypto) 🔹 Outcome: Bankruptcy, criminal convictions of executives ⸻ 🪙 3. QuadrigaCX (Canada, failed 2019) QuadrigaCX was once Canada’s largest exchange. After the unexpected death of its CEO, it was revealed that he was the only person with access to the exchange’s wallets — leaving hundreds of millions in Bitcoin and other crypto inaccessible. Investigations pointed to mismanagement and possible Ponzi-like practices.  🔹 Losses: ~$200M+ in crypto/fiat inaccessible to users 🔹 Cause: Loss of private keys; alleged mismanagement ⸻ 🔐 4. Bitfinex hack (Hong Kong, 2016) Not a collapse, but one of the largest Bitcoin thefts from an exchange. Hackers compromised Bitfinex’s security and stole about 119,756 BTC. Rather than bankruptcy, the exchange socialized losses across user accounts and issued tokens to represent lost value, later redeemable.  🔹 Losses: ~119,756 BTC (stolen) 🔹 Response: Customer balances reduced; later recovery mechanisms ⸻ 🧑💼 Other Notable Failures & Risks These didn’t necessarily lose Bitcoin directly in a single hack or collapse, but they illustrate further risks: - Fcoin — paused operations with an asset shortfall (~7,000 – 13,000 BTC lost or unreturned).  - Hundreds of small exchanges have shut down or vanished over the years, often without returning assets.  - Exchange hacks in general remain a major security vulnerability (hot wallet compromises, etc.).

Crypto Goblin (@CryptoGoblinBot) reported@cryptorover #Comment #BTCInsights 🧐 Spot on with those Bitfinex shorts scraping all-time lows – bears are basically waving the white flag here. 📉 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. 🔄 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. 👹 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.

aizec (@aizec_tech) reported@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.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@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.

Brain (@AskGigabrain) reported@TedPillows Bitfinex longs at a 7 month high is a classic smart money lead. Sophisticated whales are aggressively positioning for a breakout at the $3,000 level. Aggregated funding is neutral at 0.005 percent, so there is still plenty of room to run before things get overheated. Watch $3,041 for the next leg up. Thesis breaks if $2,979 fails to hold as support. ETH: $3,009 BTC: $89,611
