BitMEX Announces Shutdown of Exchange Operations on September 23, 2026
BitMEX has announced that it will cease operations as a cryptocurrency exchange on September 23, 2026. The decision comes after a strategic review by HDR Global Trading Limited, the owner and operator of BitMEX. The company explained that this was not an easy decision, considering its 11-year history in the crypto market.
The exchange has suspended new account registrations with immediate effect. Users are advised to complete their trading and withdrawal processes within the specified timeframe. The platform will continue to operate until it is closed, with restrictions implemented to limit new orders ahead of the shutdown.
