BitMEX to shut down after 11 years, to cease operations Sept. 23

AI Market Summary
BitMEX's planned shutdown after a strategic review removes a legacy venue from crypto derivatives markets, potentially tightening liquidity and altering leverage access for some traders. The forced wind-down (new registrations halted; users told to close positions and withdraw) can create short-term dislocations across perpetuals and funding markets, while also underscoring ongoing regulatory and operational fragility among centralized exchanges.

Crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX, founded by Arthur Hayes, said it will permanently wind down operations on Sept. 23 at 04:00 UTC after completing a strategic review. The platform has stopped accepting new user registrations and is urging existing clients to close open positions and withdraw funds before the deadline. At its peak, BitMEX handled $16 billion in daily trading volume and more than $1 trillion annually. Hayes and his co-founders stepped down in 2020 after facing U.S. criminal charges.
