BitMEX is primarily a derivatives platform offering perpetual and futures contracts with up to 250x leverage. You trade these contracts by using your deposited crypto (such as USDT, USDC, or BTC) as collateral. It uses Multi-Asset Margining, allowing multiple collateral currencies to support your open positions.

BitMEX has announced that it will permanently shut down its exchange on 23 September 2026 at 04:00 UTC. New account registrations have already been disabled, and the platform will cease operations following a strategic decision by its operator, HDR Global Trading Limited. If you have funds or open positions on BitMEX, you should take the necessary steps to withdraw your assets and close your positions before the shutdown date.

Bitstamp is the first licensed cryptocurrency exchange in the EU. Verification is usually completed within a few hours and requires the upload of an ID card and proof of residence.
