BitMEX @BitMEX

Trust is the real collateral in crypto. That’s where our next partner spotlight @ZodiaCustody comes in. Through their Interchange network, institutional traders on BitMEX were able to access deep derivatives liquidity without pre-funding exchange accounts. Assets remained in bank-grade, cold custody throughout the trading lifecycle - eliminating exchange concentration risk while maintaining execution performance. Thank you to the @ZodiaCustody team for helping build a safer trading ecosystem 🤝 🔗 zodia-custody.com

BitMEX’s exchange operations have officially ended as of 04:00 UTC today, 23 September 2026. Your funds remain completely safe. Login and withdrawal capabilities remain available, and we strongly encourage all users to withdraw their remaining withdrawable balances as soon as possible. 🔹 Withdrawals remain open via the BitMEX web platform. 🔹 Deposits are no longer credited. Please do not send further funds to BitMEX addresses. 🔹 Account fees now apply to balances left on the exchange (1% p.a. or USD 50 equivalent, whichever is greater, charged monthly for KYC'd users). 🔹 Security measures, including a simplified website experience, KYC refresh, and cooldown periods, are rolling out in stages to protect users during withdrawal. Please check your account e-mail inbox for withdrawal instructions and upcoming operational changes. Thank you to everyone who traded with us. It's been an honour. 🫡 Read more about the closure here 👇 bitmex.com/blog/bitmex-cl… Read more about today’s announcement here 👇 bitmex.com/blog/bitmex-cl…

Continuing our partner spotlight series with the foundation behind it all: @FireblocksHQ Behind every trade is an infrastructure layer keeping your assets safe, and your on-chain transfers reliable. When we expanded past XBT perps into multi-asset margin currencies, spot and brokerage, we integrated with Fireblocks MPC technology to build the security foundation that enabled our product expansion. The gold standard of crypto custody infrastructure 🤝 thank you Fireblocks 🔗 fireblocks.com

12 years. 0 customer funds lost. Every bull and bear cycle crypto has ever had. Thank you to everyone who traded XBTUSD. It was an honour to build something that changed our industry.

What we learned building XBTUSD wasn't really about Bitcoin. It was about proving that any asset - equities, commodities, FX - could be traded the same way. Perpetual Swaps are now spreading well beyond crypto, and we're proud of the part XBTUSD played.

Yesterday we closed the book on XBTUSD — the contract that started it all. Launched on 13 May 2016, it was the longest-running perpetual swap contract in crypto. And until we are told otherwise, the longest running derivatives contract of any kind, given TradFi still trades on contracts that expire. Let's take a trip down memory lane one last time 💔

On 21st Sept 2026 at 12:00 UTC, BitMEX will delist all remaining spot pairs. The spot pairs will cease trading at 12:00 UTC on 21st Sept 2026. On 22nd Sept 2026 at 04:00 UTC, we will cease support for Convert for all remaining tokens. Seeking more details? Read our blog: bitmex.com/blog/delisting…

Our partner spotlight continues with @haasonline. Both HaasOnline and BitMEX were founded back in 2014. They were engineering automated trading bots before crypto botting was even a category, bringing no-code execution, pre-built strategies, and native perpetual support to everyday traders. A decade of surviving the exact same crashes, bull runs, and market cycles. One OG recognising another. No better way to close out than alongside you 🤝 🔗haasonline.com

High volatility requires serious tooling. That’s where our next partner spotlight @InsilicoTrading comes in. A low-latency terminal that unifies your CEX and DEX accounts into one customisable interface. Stacked with institutional order types (Chase, Swarm, TWAP, Scale) plus a DOM and CLI that used to be reserved strictly for pro desks. Giving everyday traders the exact tools needed to front-run the markets. The partnership has been everything! Cheers to what we built together 🤝 🔗insilicoterminal.com

Tired of juggling a dozen exchange tabs just to manage your positions? Enter our next partner spotlight: @tealstreet They’ve built an all-in-one terminal connecting 25+ exchanges into a single interface, bringing pro-grade execution tools directly to active traders with zero subscription fees and local API key security. A massive thank you to @tealstreet for constantly innovating and supporting our trading community 🫶 🔗tealstreet.io

On 16 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, BitMEX will delist and settle the XBTUSD, XBTUSDT, ETHUSD and ETHUSDT Perpetual Swap contracts and the XBTU26, XBTZ26, XBTH27 and ETHUSDU26 Futures contracts. More details are available on our blog: bitmex.com/blog/reduce-on…

Our partner spotlight continues with @ccxt_official. The open-source infrastructure that quants, coders, and data scientists rely on to trade across 100+ exchanges. Market data, order execution, strategy development, all through one unified API. The backbone that made crypto markets truly programmable. If you've ever run an algo in this space, chances are CCXT built the path. Thanks for making markets accessible to every builder 🫡 🔗ccxt.com

Reminder: BitMEX Exchange is closing on 23 September 2026 at 04:00 UTC Please rest assured that your funds remain completely safe. If you haven't already, we strongly encourage you to close your open positions and withdraw your withdrawable funds before the Closure Time. As part of the controlled wind-down of the BitMEX platform, we’d like to share some upcoming changes: 🔹 Position & Trading Limits: Risk limits are actively rolling out. For affected contracts, no new positions can be opened, and open positions may be force-closed to facilitate an orderly market wind-down. 🔹 API Access & Withdrawals: General BitMEX API connections will shut down on 23 September 2026. We encourage all API users to download any required account information ahead of this date. API-based withdrawals will remain accessible through 28 September 2026 at 04:00 UTC. 🔹 Post-Closure: Starting 23 September 2026, we are transitioning to a simplified web interface. To improve the long term security interests of users, returning users may need to refresh their user verification (KYC) information before withdrawing funds and downloading transaction history, undertake a test transaction and observe a cooldown period thereafter before withdrawing their remaining withdrawable balance. We will also apply minimum withdrawal thresholds on an asset by asset basis. For more details on the full process, please read our blog 👇 bitmex.com/blog/bitmex-cl…

Thank you for safeguarding our innovations with your tireless advocacy & strategic guidance 🫡 🔗 swlaw.com

As BitMEX closes its doors, we’re taking time to recognise the builders who shaped this industry. Starting with @leagueoftraders, who proved trading doesn't have to be a solitary grind in the trenches – it’s far better done together. Through their platform, trading becomes a team sport: copy top traders, climb the leaderboards, and learn the market together. Thank you for building with us 🫡 🔗 leagueoftraders.io
