Continuing our partner spotlight series with the foundation behind it all: @FireblocksHQ
Behind every trade is an infrastructure layer keeping your assets safe, and your on-chain transfers reliable.
When we expanded past XBT perps into multi-asset margin currencies, spot and brokerage, we integrated with Fireblocks MPC technology to build the security foundation that enabled our product expansion.
The gold standard of crypto custody infrastructure 🤝 thank you Fireblocks

Our partner spotlight continues with @haasonline.
Both HaasOnline and BitMEX were founded back in 2014.
They were engineering automated trading bots before crypto botting was even a category, bringing no-code execution, pre-built strategies, and native perpetual support to everyday traders.
A decade of surviving the exact same crashes, bull runs, and market cycles. One OG recognising another.
No better way to close out than alongside you 🤝

High volatility requires serious tooling. That’s where our next partner spotlight @InsilicoTrading comes in.
A low-latency terminal that unifies your CEX and DEX accounts into one customisable interface.
Stacked with institutional order types (Chase, Swarm, TWAP, Scale) plus a DOM and CLI that used to be reserved strictly for pro desks.
Giving everyday traders the exact tools needed to front-run the markets.
The partnership has been everything! Cheers to what we built together 🤝

Our partner spotlight continues with @ccxt_official.
The open-source infrastructure that quants, coders, and data scientists rely on to trade across 100+ exchanges. Market data, order execution, strategy development, all through one unified API.
The backbone that made crypto markets truly programmable. If you've ever run an algo in this space, chances are CCXT built the path.

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 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 remaining withdrawable balance. We will also apply minimum withdrawal thresholds on an asset by asset basis.

Dear BitMEX Users,
Today, we share with a very heavy heart that BitMEX exchange will shut down its operations, effective 23 September 2026 at 04:00:00 UTC.
The owner and operator of BitMEX, HDR Global Trading Limited, has made the difficult decision to close operations following a strategic review of the business.
It may not look the same today, but we are proud of our 11+ year legacy and the role we played in shaping the crypto industry. We invented the 100x leverage perpetual swap, which for most of you, was the first step to your crypto trading journey. It is now the most traded financial product in the crypto industry, adopted by thousands of users and exchanges. And we remain proud of our robust security infrastructure, which has allowed us to maintain a flawless track record of 0 customer funds lost to hacks in our entire operating history.
We want to reassure you that your assets remain fully safe and under your control during this transition period. This announcement is just to give enough time to ensure a smooth withdrawal process for everyone.
From today we strongly encourage all users to close their positions and withdraw their funds as soon as convenient. For more details on the full process, please read our blog:
BitMEX was once home to some of the greatest traders today. Our team has dedicated tremendous effort and passion into building the platform into what it is, and we are glad to have reached some of you during your time with us.

Through their platform, trading becomes a team sport: copy top traders, climb the leaderboards, and learn the market together.
Thank you for building with us 🫡
