Reminder: BitMEX Exchange is closing on 23 September 2026 at 04:00 UTC
Please rest assured that your funds remain completely safe. If you haven't already, we strongly encourage you to close your open positions and withdraw your remaining withdrawable funds before the Closure Time.
As part of the controlled wind-down of the BitMEX platform, we’d like to share some upcoming changes:
🔹 Position & Trading Limits: Risk limits are actively rolling out. For affected contracts, no new positions can be opened, and open positions may be force-closed to facilitate an orderly market wind-down.
🔹 API Access & Withdrawals: General BitMEX API connections will shut down on 23 September 2026. We encourage all API users to download any required account information ahead of this date. API-based withdrawals will remain accessible through 28 September 2026 at 04:00 UTC.
🔹 Post-Closure: Starting 23 September 2026, we are transitioning to a simplified web interface. To improve the long term security interests of users, returning users may need to refresh their user verification (KYC) information before withdrawing funds and downloading transaction history, undertake a test transaction and observe a cooldown period thereafter before withdrawing their balance (see our original announcement here about taking additional security measures to protect users). We will also apply minimum withdrawal thresholds on an asset by asset basis.
For more details on the full process, please read our blog.
