CoinTelegraph reports that BitMEX has officially ended its exchange operations, bringing a close to more than 11 years of trading activity.
The company stated that while the exchange is no longer active, the withdrawal function remains open. BitMEX urged users to remove their remaining funds from the platform.
The announcement marks the end of a platform that operated for over a decade. No new trading pairs or market access are available following the shutdown.
The decision follows the platform's long tenure in the crypto derivatives space. Users were directed to complete any outstanding transactions before the full closure.
