Odaily News: Cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX has announced that it will fully shut down its platform at 4:00 (UTC) on September 23, 2026. BitMEX CEO Peter Wilkinson stated that the exchange has been operating for over 11 years and has never lost customer funds due to hacker attacks during that period. Peter Wilkinson noted that BitMEX failed to keep pace with its competitors, having long focused on derivatives business while failing to offer spot trading, yield products, custody, and stablecoin trading services in a timely manner. The exchange also entered the USDT market relatively late, in 2021. He stated that BitMEX once supported its founding team in pioneering perpetual swaps, a product that has since become one of the highest-trading-volume financial instruments in the crypto industry and is now widely used for leveraged cryptocurrency trading.
