"We want to be absolutely clear here that Bitfinex is solvent." - why I have the feeling that every insolvent exchange said something like this in the past.
Oh boy, just when the price is reaching another ath, another big exchange gets in trouble.
This unnatural high bitcoin price was caused by problems with money transfer exchanges are experiencing. Not the other way around.
Price of BTC is so high, because demand for Bitcoin is high, people buy it and withdraw it, because their FIAT founds is frozen online.
