bitFlyer Reports Surge in Yen Withdrawal Requests, Dismisses Bitcoin Crash Link

  • —bitFlyer said Sept. 25 that yen withdrawal requests are piling up, slowing processing
  • —The exchange did not disclose the cause, request count or withdrawal amounts
  • —bitFlyer's status page shows All Systems Operational with no trading outages
  • —BTC topped $87,000 on Sept. 21, gaining more than 7% that day
Why it matters: A backlog of yen withdrawals alone does not confirm BTC selling: without data on amounts or causes, it is no signal of a market reversal.
