We've written about Bitfinex Derivatives and Bitfinex infrastructure:
Derivatives trading: Bitfinex has the best infrastructure
Derivatives trading: Bitfinex has the best infrastructure
Apologies for the dumb question, but is Bitfinex Derivatives the same as Bitmex's market offerings? Also, is this a paid article or is this an independent review of Bitfinex and their derivatives without any monetary ties from them?
The article is not sponsored, we are monitoring the APIs of different exchanges independently and Bitfinex Derivatives is similar to Bitmex.

Bitfinex will be introducing LN payments and withdrawals tomorrow.

The first major exchange to implement Lightning -- what a marketing opportunity. Bitfinex has a real way of appealing to Bitcoin maximalists.
They'll also be offering their node for others to connect to. It'll be very interesting to see if this moves things forward in a significant manner.
I've always thought exchanges acting as hubs could be a big boon for LN adoption, since so many people are constantly transacting with them. I'm interested to see where this goes.

But hey, at least they launched a referral program again apparently...
I suspect the controversy the NYAG is attracting, plus the overall lack of volatility is hurting their ability to attract new customers. October 19, 2019, 11:33:00 AM

What happened wit Bitfinex? Yesterday I requested BTC withdrawal. After 10 mins got status "approved". But after 24h still money in "Pending".
Submited support ticket and got strange replay kind of "technical maintenance in progress, you get your btc soon". I didn't found any public information about btc maintenance.
Um, I believe no one from Bitfinex will answer you here. They are not posting any replies here in the past few months. Based on the reply that they provided to you, it must be true that they are really having technical problems on their side. Your best move is to contact them again and ask how long will this problem persist.Submited support ticket and got strange replay kind of "technical maintenance in progress, you get your btc soon". I didn't found any public information about btc maintenance.
I'm quite surprised that some people are still using Bitfinex after the problems that they provided to their users in the last few months and years.
Maybe at least someone also have same problem? Because if to be honest, I don't believe in "technical maintenance" for long time without any official announcement.
Moreover, I have email that my withdrawal approved and bla bla bla it take up to 12 hours. Now I have checked my account and they change approval time) But even with new approval time I wait more 12 hours. It's looking absolutely unlike "maintenance"

Is Bitfinex started to do KYC slowly for all accounts?
Looking at their Reddit it seems that more and more people are getting hit with KYC when they attempt a withdraw.
Looking at their Reddit it seems that more and more people are getting hit with KYC when they attempt a withdraw.
There's been discussion about this going back a few months. Bitfinex has obviously ramped up their triggers for KYC -- possibly in response to the scathing evidence in the New York case, or possibly in response to meddling from the CFTC who are currently probing BitMEX for allowing US residents.
There are hundreds of these frozen account cases now. I wouldn't recommend that anyone trade on Bitfinex if they aren't comfortable completing KYC.
This rings a bell of what happened with Bittrex and Poloniex in 2017. I had a legacy account on both exchanges and was allowed to trade for many months compared to people who just created a new account and were forced to KYC right away.
I have a feeling that Bitfinex is doing something similar. Basically they might be KYC accounts from newest to oldest and only triggered when a withdraw is attempted. They are probably doing this because if they forced everybody on the exchange at once, it would take forever to verify the documents and resume withdraws.

These are all fairly recent and less than a week old.
I realise that some people's accounts might get some mandatory KYC if the depositted funds are tainted in one way or another but it seems they are hitting more and more accounts with KYC.

How extensive is the demand for documents. I'm wondering if the NY AG is doing this because they're gunning for U.S. citizens who used bitfinex. Does the demand cover client records?
Maybe really big fish like Galaxy Digital. They are a New York based hedge fund, so they might "maintain custody or control of virtual currency on behalf of others" under BitLicense regulations. Documents uncovered in this investigation could reveal incriminating evidence about businesses like that.
In general, I don't think their mission here is to come after US citizens. It's to come after Tether and Bitfinex. Further, they have no jurisdiction over anyone who is not a New York resident or does not conduct business in New York.

The NY state judge denied Bitfinex's request to have the Martain act subpoena for documents dismissed based on lack of personal jurisdiction. They have been ordered to turn over documents to the NYAG within 90 days
Bitfinex has already appealed the decision.

Here is the initial petition by the NYAG and here is the original order signed by the judge for the case. You can find additional documents in the docket for the case.
