We might increase leverage in the future if we see our swap market is cooling off a little.
For the time being we believe it's a good idea, for the sake of traders, liquidity providers and the bitcoin market to slow down a little the growth of our swap total market.

I hope this helps.

Have a good day

"Earlier today, Mt. Gox halted trading, saying the market needed to "cool down""

I knew i heard that phrase somewhere else before... Cheesy

Hehe, I don't know about the validity of that analogy, but this is a pretty clear acknowledgement by Bitfinex that swaps/leverage have gotten out of hand vs. liquidity.

Well, 2 weeks ago they(Bitfinex) called the assumption of the OP "FUD". How fast things can change....

Guys

Since when so called "moderators" are starting FUD threads?

Cui prodest?

Ask yourself this simple question and if your IQ is not lower than your shoe size you'll come up with the right conclusion.

Have a good day and a great weekend

Yep.

Bitfinex will be central to next Bitcoin disaster.

Won't try to claim any soothsaying rights on this one as loads of people have been saying the same thing all over the internet.

Bitfinex = Hookey as fuck and probably out of their depth..........sounds all to similar to another well known French run Bitcoin exchange based in the Far East that is sadly no longer with us.
