🧵about stuff I've learned about @CoinFLEXdotcom and @MarkDavidLamb. started looking into these characters in depth a few days before they became a hot item so this is an attempt to consolidate what i've learned.
Q: What is CoinFLEX?
A: It's not an average crypto exchange.

Start with the fact that this mostly unknown CEX does huge volume. Some days its volume makes it the 3rd largest #CEX in the world on CMC.

Nums are manipulated but Binance owns CMC. I'm sure top 10 spots aren't free.
Many days CoinFLEX's volume makes it a peer of major exchanges like Coinbase, FTX, and Huobi. See yesterday's CMC rankings in pics.

Retail traders think of CoinFLEX as a small market mostly built around a small altcoin, $BCH (Bitcoin Cash). $BCH trades can't create this volume.

#Coinflex CEO Mark Lamb just went on BloombergTV. talked about a plan to raise $ to cover for an "ultra high net worth" whale who isn't paying up. $rvUSD... r. v.... @rogerkver?

Lamb also confirmed there are huge futures trades in private markets... and involving his exchange.
@rogerkver the weird part: i did a kind of much too long analysis that lead me to the conclusion that #CoinFLEX's $BCH retail trading operation is, if not a front, then not their main business.

based on info I could get, CoinFlex looked like derivatives market...

@sonalibasak letting him pitch a snake oil 20% APY shitcoin as a way to give his users back the money he owes them is a disgrace to journalism

and there goes another exchange. @CoinFLEXdotcom has not just limited withdrawals, they have shut them off altogether.

@coingecko puts #Coinflex as ~30th largest by vol.
@CoinMarketCap has it at #3 (!!)

exchanges are really falling like dominoes now

@CoinFLEXdotcom @coingecko @CoinMarketCap here's what @CoinMarketCap and @coingecko have to say about size of #CoinFlex / @CoinFLEXdotcom / @CoinFLEX_US.

tl;dr coingecko says it's roughly the size of @krakenfx, coinmarketcap says it's way bigger than #FTX.

all numbers in this market are fake... but this is huge ImageImage
kind of a serious LOL at those @CoinMarketCap / @coingecko rankings of the size of @CoinFLEXdotcom / @CoinFLEX_US though.

the ratio of trading volume to weekly visits (AKA "the one un-fakeable number") CMC/CG are showing is... kind of hard to believe/bordering on preposterous
