Crypto exchange BitMEX to shut down all operations by September 23rd 2026
Gerade die Nachricht gelesen, dass die Kryptobörse BitMEX leider schließen muss und das Trading per 23. September 2026 komplett einstellen wird. Bis dahin ist es noch möglich die Positionen ohne zusätzliche Gebühr zu liquidieren und die Funds abzuziehen. Danach verrechnet BitMEX eine zusätzliche jährliche 1% Gebühr auf gehaltene Funds, die aber weiterhin abgezogen werden können.
Die Börse wurde bereits 2014 gegründet und war die erste Krypto-Börse, die Perpetual Future Swaps mit großen Leverage-Faktoren angeboten hat. Auf Coingecko hat die Börse einen Trust Score von 7/10 und rangiert auf Rang 65 zum Zeitpunkt dieses Postings mit einem geringen Volumen von etwa $500K daily, was vermutlich auch einer der Gründe für den Shutdown ist.
Ein weiterer Auslöser könnte auch die restriktive MiCA-Regulierung in der EU gewesen sein, da viele Börsen und FinTech-Anbieter dadurch den Zugang zum europäischen Markt verloren haben.

I just read the news that the crypto exchange BitMEX unfortunately has to close and will completely cease trading as of September 23rd, 2026. Until then, it’s still possible to liquidate positions and withdraw funds without additional charges. After that, BitMEX will charge an additional annual 1% fee on held funds, which can still be withdrawn after the closure time.
The exchange was founded back in 2014 and was the first crypto exchange to introduce perpetual futures swaps with high leverage ratios. On Coingecko, the exchange has a Trust Score of 7/10 and ranks 65th at the time of this post, with a low daily trading volume of about $500K, which is likely one of the reasons for the shutdown.
Another contributing factor could have been the restrictive MiCA regulation in the EU, as many exchanges and fintech providers have lost access to the European market as a result.
What are your thoughts on the BitMEX shutdown? Have you used BitMEX? What were your experiences?
