Stamp and Finex are with the same price now, or almost. Looks like people are afraid to buy above $2000, or has the withdraws already been restored?

I second that question. I have checked the news pages, Bitfinex' website and their Twitter account but haven't found any recent news, only that they today started supporting Ripple (XRP). Maybe people are using BTC/XRP and then XRP/USD on another exchange/gateway to get out their funds? But that wouldn't make much sense because they already have other altcoins on board.

They have a news item from last week (May 12) however that they're processing large withdrawals with another system. Maybe these withdrawals are starting to go through.

Maybe the strange FinexBTC/BTC parity really is only related to the resistance of the $2000 mark.
