SourceAnalysis
BitMEX will shut operations on 23 September 2026 at 04:00 UTC after a strategic review by owner HDR Global Trading Limited. The platform pioneered the 100x leverage perpetual swap that became crypto's most traded product and maintained a perfect record of zero customer funds lost to hacks over 11 years. Traders who began on the exchange recall its role in exposing market inefficiencies, now prompting immediate position closures and withdrawals ahead of the deadline.
