According to the observations of Twitter user Andrew Rennhack, during the week the contents of the cold Ethereum wallet of the Bitfinex exchange decreased by 40%.

Bitfinex ETH coldwallet has declined by 40% in the past week. 800k ETH or $ 150M has left. There is only 1.1M ETH left or ~ 180M USD left at current ETH prices (which will be higher). This is a good old fashioned bank run folks. https://t.co/PFnREzo7v6 pic.twitter.com/7pHTAAJR1z

According to him, within seven days, 800,000 ETH worth about $ 150 million was withdrawn from the Bitfinex wallet. About 1 , 1 million ETH remained in the wallet for a little over $ 180 million at the current rate.

The most active funds in Bitcoin and Ethereum were withdrawn from Bitfinex on April 26, when news of coverage of losses of $ 850 million at the expense of steblcoin Tether spread. Then over 12 hours, Bitfinex brought more than $ 300 million in Bitcoins and Ethereum

Also earlier, BlockchainJournal reported that as early as next week Bitfinex could launch IEO , available only to qualified investors. Presumably, with the help of borrowed funds, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange intends to compensate for the frozen $ 850 million.
