BitMEX Halts Exchange Operations; Users Can Still Withdraw, Deposits No Longer Credited

BitMEX has ceased exchange operations, effectively ending trading on the platform. Users are still able to sign in and withdraw remaining balances, but new deposits are no longer being credited to accounts. The change is significant for anyone who still holds funds on BitMEX. While account access and withdrawals remain available, users are advised not to send additional assets to existing BitMEX deposit addresses, as incoming transfers may not be reflected in their balances. What users should do now - If you have funds on the platform, log in and submit withdrawal requests as needed. - Do not make new deposits, since transfers are no longer credited. - Before withdrawing, verify the destination wallet address and the correct network to avoid misdirected transfers. - Rely on official BitMEX communications for updates on withdrawal procedures and availability. BitMEX has not announced a final withdrawal deadline or detailed whether further account restrictions may be introduced. The shutdown marks a major shift for a venue long associated with crypto derivatives trading, and customers are expected to watch for additional guidance while avoiding any new deposits until more information is provided.
