Tether Withdraws $779M in Bitcoin as Supply Tightens

Tether has pulled 8,889 BTC (~$779M) from Bitfinex, raising its total holdings to roughly 96,370 BTC ($8.46B) and intensifying the ongoing Bitcoin supply squeeze.
▪ Exchange Outflows: Spot exchange netflows remain negative at -$41.11M, signaling methodical accumulation by large entities
▪ Liquidity Impact: Reduced circulating supply strengthens price responsiveness while limiting sell-side depth
▪ Leverage Skew: BTC long/short ratio at 1.56 (60.9% long), showing bullish conviction but crowded positioning
▪ Downside Risk: Liquidation clusters concentrated between $86K–$88K, deeper zones toward $84K
▪ Funding Rates: Persistently positive at 0.0097%, reflecting willingness of traders to pay to stay long

Bitcoin’s structural supply shift, rising leverage, and concentrated liquidity zones set the stage for potential volatility spikes. Accumulation dominates, but leveraged positioning raises the risk of sharp short-term moves.
