The Great Leveraged Gamble: Big Money Buys The Dip, But Is The Bottom In? While #Bitcoin tests lower levels, a massive counter-trend bet is quietly building in the shadows. 📊 The Signal: Bitfinex margin long positions have just surged to ~77,100 BTC—a two-year high. Even more telling? This metric has exploded by +64% in the last 6 months alone. This isn't just noise. It’s a clear sign that significant, risk-tolerant capital is aggressively using leverage to "buy the dip." For these players, the current downturn isn't a signal to exit, but a strategic window to accumulate. ⚠️ The Critical Context: History offers a crucial lesson. This metric often balloons during market stress, not necessarily at its end. While it shows conviction from one side of the market, it primarily tells us that: 1. Leveraged players see value at these prices. 2. The market may not yet have undergone its final deleveraging shakeout. The Bottom Line: We're witnessing a high-stakes standoff. Powerful capital is betting on a rebound, but this very leverage could fuel more short-term volatility. It's a sign of opportunity and risk—not a definitive all-clear signal. What’s your read? Is this smart money positioning for the next leg up, or are we seeing the buildup of fuel for one last volatility flush? DYOR No Financial advice! #Crypto #BTC #Trading #Bitfinex $BTC {spot}(BTCUSDT)

🚨 Crypto Fail of the Year: Teen Loots $90M from US Government, Gets Busted for Flexing on Telegram 🤡 The blockchain community is buzzing over the ultimate "Darwin Award" in crypto history. John Dagita—the son of a US government IT contractor—managed to drain tens of millions from federal wallets, only to lose it all because of a massive ego. Here’s the tea: 👇 🔹 The "Band for Band" Blunder: John (known as "Lick") got into a heated argument on Telegram with another hacker. To prove he was "richer," he live-streamed his Exodus wallet screen, showing off addresses worth millions. 🔹 Enter ZachXBT: On-chain sleuth ZachXBT tracked the addresses and realized the funds were flowing directly from US Government wallets associated with the Bitfinex seizure. 🔹 Inside Job? John’s father runs CMDSS, a company that held a contract with the US Marshals Service (USMS) to manage seized crypto. While Dad was "securing" the bags, the son was busy spending them—moving $24.9M in one go and another $12.4M just recently in January 2026. 🔹 The Ultimate Flex: In a move of pure arrogance, John actually sent ZachXBT a $1,900 ETH "tip" from his main wallet, effectively signing his own confession on the blockchain. The Fallout: The company website is down, the father has vanished, and the US government is left looking at a $90M hole. It turns out the biggest threat to national security isn't a sophisticated hack—it's a teenager with a point to prove. 🤦‍♂️ Is this the biggest security lapse in US history or just a case of "Father of the Year"?

🚨 The most ridiculous case in cryptocurrency history: A teenager stole 90 million dollars from the US government and ended up failing due to flaunting his wealth on Telegram 🤡 The blockchain community was recently shocked by an extremely absurd case: a teenager, John Dagita (the son of a US government IT contractor), embezzled tens of millions of dollars from the national crypto wallet. However, he escaped the tracking of the security system but couldn't escape his own vanity. The events unfolded as follows: 👇 🔹 Elementary school behavior: Live comparison of wealth John (online name “Lick”) engaged in a “band for band” competition (i.e., a contest of who is wealthier) with another hacker on Telegram. To outdo his opponent, he even directly started screen sharing, showcasing the astonishing balance in his Exodus wallet. 🔹 Top detective ZachXBT takes action Famous on-chain detective ZachXBT quickly zeroed in on these addresses. Following the trail, it was discovered that the funds originated directly from the US government's wallet, and these assets were originally confiscated by the government from the Bitfinex case. 🔹 The “ridiculous” family insider John's father, Dean Dagita, runs a company named CMDSS, which has a contract with the US Marshals Service (USMS) to manage confiscated crypto assets. During the period when his father was “managing,” the son crazily “moved house” within a year: from a single transaction of 24.9 million dollars in March 2024 to 12.4 million dollars just transferred through MEXC in January 2026. 🔹 Epic “self-sabotage” behavior Due to extreme arrogance, John even sent ZachXBT 1,900 dollars worth of ETH from his main wallet as a “tip.” This action directly locked him and the stolen assets, becoming the strongest evidence. Current situation: The CMDSS company website has been shut down, and his father, Dean Dagita, has vanished. This incident once again proves that even a superpower's defense system is extremely fragile in the face of “insider threats” and “bumbling teammates.” 🤦‍♂️ Do you think this is a huge loophole in US government regulation, or the “self-sabotage” of a top second-generation? Feel free to discuss in the comments! 👇 #加密新闻 #ZachXBT #网络安全 #Bitfinex #黑客事件

【Uncle Detective: Short Story Series】The ultimate judgment on July 28, who is weaving a net for 2.5 billion chips? ​Everyone, Uncle Detective wants you to circle a date on the calendar: July 28, 2026. In the financial market, the most terrifying thing is not the apparent bad news, but the collective retreat that is masked by prosperous data despite being 'precisely forecasted.' ​Currently, the data for Plasma ($XPL) looks very promising, with SyrupUSDT's total value locked (TVL) exceeding 200 million dollars, and the annualized return maintained at a high level of 16% under subsidies. Many people see this as the strong vitality of the project, but in Uncle's eyes, this is called 'establishing a deep water area.' ​Why is a deep water area needed? Because on that day, a total of 2.5 billion core chips will face collective unlocking, which is almost a quarter of the total supply. If the market is a shallow pool, when these 2.5 billion chips are dropped, the coin price will instantly drop to zero. But if a large amount of stablecoin funds are locked on-chain through SyrupUSDT, the market will have sufficient 'depth' for the elites to elegantly convert profits into real money without disturbing the market. ​Uncle reminds everyone that the current 'no Gas' and 'high subsidies' are all aimed at driving the fish into this deep water pool before judgment day arrives. Don't just look at that little syrup interest; what you need to see is whether your capital is positioned at the front of the floodgate when the valve opens. ​#plasma $XPL @Plasma #大叔偵探 #Bitfinex {future}(XPLUSDT)

Bitfinex Alpha Report: Bitcoin Nearing Cycle Bottom, Potential for Rebound The recent volatile price action in the Bitcoin market has sparked widespread discussion about whether it has reached a temporary bottom. According to a recent analysis report from Bitfinex Alpha, several early indicators suggest that Bitcoin may be very close to the price low of this cycle. The report points out that one key signal of a market bottom is the process of extreme deleveraging. Since the market crash on October 10th, which resulted in the liquidation of over $19 billion in leveraged positions, a large number of speculators and leveraged traders have been forced out of the market. This large-scale risk clearing typically lays the foundation for a more stable and healthier market trend. Another important bottom signal is the exhaustion of panic selling by short-term holders. The report shows that Bitcoin Adjusted SOPR (aSOPR) has seen losses decrease to $400 million, reaching the threshold of previous lows. Analysts believe that this phenomenon usually indicates that the "capitulation selling" by retail investors and short-term speculators is nearing its end. As this emotional selling pressure dissipates, the market price is expected to stabilize. Furthermore, a series of small-amplitude candlestick patterns have appeared on the technical charts, which is seen as a sign of weakening selling pressure and indicates that market panic is subsiding. Meanwhile, institutional investors' long-term confidence remains unshaken, as evidenced by the significant inflows into the US Bitcoin spot ETF for five consecutive days. In summary, although short-term price movements remain volatile, the easing of structural selling pressure, along with key "capitulation indicators" and the deleveraging process, suggests that this correction may have entered its later stages. However, investors still need to pay attention to changes in the macroeconomic environment and whether new funds can continue to flow in to confirm whether the bottom formation is complete and the formal start of a new trend. #Bitfinex #市场分析

Notably, the price surge has pushed its market capitalisation past that of the asset manager BlackRock. At its current market cap of almost $160 million, it is now valued more than Tether’s USDT which slipped to fourth place with a market value of $137 billion. #xpr #pumpiscoming #BullRunAhead $XRP 2️⃣ DOJ Says $9 Billion in Bitcoin Stolen in 2016 Hack Should Be Returned to Bitfinex 'In-Kind' 🤔 In court documents filed Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice stated the $9 billion worth of BTC recovered from the 2016 hack of Bitfinex exchange by Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan should be returned to the platform as there are no "victims" in the case. For context, Bitfinex had "generalised" the losses from the hack across all its customers and launched a repayment program that included reimbursing users with tokens that could be redeemed for U.S. dollars or for shares in the company. The platform states that it believes customers have been made whole in the process. The court filing states that this is the reason there is “no 'victim' for the specific offences of conviction in this proceeding." #Bitfinex 3️⃣ Judge Orders BitMEX To Pay $100M Fine Over US Banking Law Violations 💰 Manhattan federal judge Judge John G. Koeltl has reportedly sentenced the parent company of crypto exchange BitMEX - HDR Global Trading Limited, to two years of unsupervised probation and a $100 million fine. Notably, the sentencing comes roughly six months after the crypto exchange pleaded guilty to violating the US Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) by operating without “any meaningful” Anti-Money Laundering (AML) program. In a statement to its users after the judgment, BitMEX reiterated its claim that the BSA charge was “old news,” adding: Whilst we are disappointed to learn of the imposition of an additional financial penalty, the amount is substantially less than what the Department of Justice have been pursuing us for over 3 years. 4️⃣ VanEck Files Prospectus For 'Onchain Economy' ETF ⚡️ Asset manager VanEck has reportedly submitted an application to the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a new exchange-traded fund called the Onchain Economy ETF. According to the prospectus filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund will prioritise investments in digital asset-focused companies such as exchanges, crypto payment platforms and mining firms, in addition to virtual asset-focused investment vehicles like commodity futures contracts. Notably, it does not itself invest in digital assets or commodities. 5️⃣ Oklahoma Becomes Latest State to Consider Bitcoin Reserve Bill 💸 Oklahoma has reportedly become the latest state to formally consider establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve. A new bill to establish the same was introduced to the Oklahoma House of Representatives on Jan. 15 by state Representative Cody Maynard. If approved in this upcoming session, the bill would allow state savings accounts and pension funds to invest in digital assets like BTC beginning in November. Specifically, the bill allows Oklahoma’s state treasurer to invest public funds in any digital asset that has averaged greater than a $500 billion market capitalization over the previous calendar year. Currently, only Bitcoin meets that requirement. 6️⃣ US Law Firm Seeks Legal Action Against Pump.Fun For Investors With Losses ‼️ #USGovernment New York-based law firm Burwick has revealed plans to take legal action against Solana-based meme coin launchpad Pump.fun on behalf of investors that experienced losses on the platform.

🚀 Toncoin Eyes a Comeback as Bitfinex Unveils Tokenized Gold on TON Toncoin is showing signs of recovery 📈, with bulls aiming to reclaim the 50-period EMA on the 4-hour chart. This uptick follows Tuesday’s big news: Bitfinex has officially launched tokenized gold on The Open Network (TON) 🪙. Bitfinex, one of the top 15 global crypto exchanges by daily volume, rolled out XAUT0—a gold-backed digital asset powered by TON. The move is expected to boost access to gold through a high-performance and secure blockchain 🔐⚡. Users can now deposit and withdraw XAUT0 via TON’s network, which was chosen for its fast, low-cost, and scalable infrastructure. Bitfinex also enables seamless 1:1 conversions between XAUT0 and XAUT through its built-in Currency Conversion tool 🔄🏅. While the token adds flexibility for users looking to manage or transfer digital assets, it’s worth noting that XAUT0 is not issued or redeemed by USDT—an important detail for investors ⚠️. Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is gaining momentum, with platforms like XRP Ledger, Solana, and Ondo Finance leading the charge. TON’s new gold asset adds it to the list of networks bridging crypto and traditional finance 🌉🏦. Toncoin, meanwhile, bounced off support at $2.72 and is trading around $2.81. A move past the 200-period EMA at $2.91 could open the door to a push toward $3.00 🚀. Key support remains at $2.72 and $2.60. 📊 Keep an eye on price action—momentum could be building. #Toncoin #TON #Bitfinex #CryptoNews #TokenizedGold #XAUT0 #Blockchain #CryptoUpdate #RWATokenization #DeFi #DigitalAssets #CryptoMarket #GoldOnBlockchain #CryptoTrading #Web3 #TONCommunity --- $TON {spot}(TONUSDT) $SOL {future}(SOLUSDT) $XRP {future}(XRPUSDT)
