Bitfinex have stated that In line with their commitment to delivering the best trading experience, they are delisting the following tokens: $AID, $ATM, $DTH, $FOA, $FSN, $LOO, $MITH, $POLY, $SPANK, and $UFR.

Paolo Ardoino, CTO Bitfinex when talking about the Bitfinex decision expressed that it is an important measure to provide healthy markets with high liquidity to our users.

Some of the users felt that this move is like spanking. Many felt this is the most needed move.

In this regard, Sydney Ifergan, the crypto expert tweeted: “Bitfinex delisting is probably necessary because there is no end to editing with additions and deletions to ensure quality.”

Bitfinex Listing XinFin (XDC)

However, XinFin (XDC) is now listed on Bitfinex. Also, trading and withdrawals from $XDC is now available.  Of note, XinFin can be traded with US Dollars (XDC/USD) and Tether tokens (XDC/USDt).

In response to the XinFin news, some of the users felt that Big Whales are coming. Users were recommended to make use of the Bitfinex mobile app for best trading experience. However, some of the users had to complain that they have been missing colors in the iOS app and they were finding it hard to tell if their position is positive or negative.

Previously, the community were excited about Bitfinex Borrow, which is a peer-to-peer platform for crypto loans.  This platform made it possible for users to borrow in Tether (USDt) or US Dollar (USD).  It was important to get verified to get the benefits of this platform.

When talking about Bitfinex Borrow, one of the users asked Is this just a breakout of the previous market? In reply, Paolo Ardoino, Yes. Margin funding markets are fueling this. You can think about it as reverse claim functionality, with a nice GUI.
