BitMEX has shut down its exchange operations, ending trading activity on the platform while keeping account access and withdrawals available to users.
Customers can still log in to their accounts and withdraw their remaining funds. However, the exchange is no longer crediting deposits, meaning users should not send additional assets to their BitMEX deposit addresses.
The distinction matters for anyone who still holds funds on the platform. Although exchange operations have stopped, the withdrawal function remains available, giving users a way to move their assets elsewhere.
Following the BitMEX exchange shutdown, users with balances on the platform can continue accessing their accounts to request withdrawals.
Deposits are a different matter. Because incoming transfers are no longer credited, sending cryptocurrency to the exchange could create problems for users expecting those funds to appear in their accounts.
Anyone withdrawing assets should check the destination wallet address and network carefully before confirming a transfer. Users should also rely on official BitMEX communications for any updates to withdrawal procedures or availability.
The information provided does not specify a final withdrawal deadline or explain whether the exchange plans to introduce additional account restrictions.

The BitMEX exchange shutdown marks a major change for a platform long associated with cryptocurrency derivatives trading.
For existing customers, the immediate priority is understanding which account functions remain available. At present, users can log in and withdraw funds, while exchange operations have stopped and deposits are no longer credited.
Questions remain about the longer-term handling of customer accounts, including whether BitMEX will announce a withdrawal deadline or provide further instructions for users with remaining balances.
Until more details are available, customers should monitor official announcements and avoid making new deposits to the platform.
