BitMEX Introduces New Copy Trading Feature, Including Groundbreaking Reverse Copy Trading

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, the OG crypto derivatives exchange, today announced the launch of its new Copy Trading feature. This innovative tool allows users to automatically replicate the trades of top–performing professionals, simplifying access to sophisticated trading strategies.

In a first for many platforms, BitMEX is also introducing Reverse Copy Trading, a groundbreaking feature that allows users to strategically take the opposite position of a chosen leader. This dual functionality provides traders with unprecedented flexibility to align with or hedge against market trends based on their own outlook.

The new feature addresses a common challenge for many traders: the lack of time or expertise to actively monitor the fast–paced derivatives market. By enabling users to automatically follow the moves of experienced traders – or take the opposite approach through Reverse Copy Trading – BitMEX is making sophisticated trading accessible to a wider audience, from beginners to those with limited time.

“Since 2014, BitMEX has been home to some of the oldest and most proficient traders in the crypto space. With Copy Trading, we are democratising access to their expertise, allowing our users to mirror their success,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. “This feature simplifies the trading process, removes the burden of constant market monitoring, and provides a unique opportunity for our community to engage with the crypto derivatives market more effectively.”

How Copy Trading on BitMEX Works:
BitMEX's Copy Trading feature allows users to become “Copiers” and automatically replicate the trades of chosen “Copy Leaders.”

  • Becoming a Copier: Users can browse and filter top traders, known as Copy Leaders, on the Copy Trading Marketplace. Once a leader is selected, users can allocate a specific amount of capital, and the system will automatically mirror their trades.
  • Reverse Copy Trading: Users can choose to take the opposite position of a selected Copy Leader, a feature designed for strategic hedging or for those with a contrarian market view.
  • Full Control: Users retain complete control over their risk, with the ability to set personal risk parameters, including Stop Loss and Take Profit levels.
  • Amplified Earnings for Copy Leaders: Experienced traders can apply to become a Copy Leader and earn up to a 50% profit share from their Copiers, providing an additional revenue stream and building their reputation within the community.

Key Benefits of Copy Trading on BitMEX:

  • Access Top Traders: BitMEX is home to the best traders since 2014. Mirror the strategies of the industry's most profitable and experienced traders.
  • Diversify Your Strategy: Copy up to five Copy Leaders simultaneously, building a robust and diversified trading arsenal.
  • Automate Your Trades: An ideal solution for busy individuals or those new to the market, automating the crypto derivatives trading process.
  • Fully Customisable: Maintain full control over your trading capital and personal risk parameters for each copy trade.

BitMEX Study Reveals 90% Drop in Extreme Bitcoin Perpetual Futures Funding Rates Since 2016, Signalling Market Maturation

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, the safest crypto exchange, today announced the findings of its comprehensive study on XBTUSD, the longest–running Bitcoin perpetual swap, to shed light on the evolution of the funding rate market. The research, spanning from May 2016 to May 2025, reveals a significant shift in funding rate patterns, marking a transition from high volatility to unprecedented market stability.

Since BitMEX pioneered perpetual swaps in 2016, they've become one of the most traded financial products worldwide. A key component of these products are funding rates, which are periodic payments made between long and short position holders of a perpetual swap contract to maintain a token’s futures price with its spot price. Funding rates are crucial for identifying market arbitrage opportunities and to gauge market sentiment.

The study, which delved into the extensive history of BitMEX’s XBTUSD perpetual swap, uncovered several key insights:

  • Extreme Funding Rates Plummet by 90%: Since 2016, the occurrence of extreme funding rates has dropped by a staggering 90%. Notably, data from 2024–2025 shows remarkable stability, even as Bitcoin surged past $100,000. This trend indicates a clear maturation of the crypto market, transforming Bitcoin from a highly speculative asset into a more stable financial instrument.
  • Mainstream Integration Drives Stability: The launch of Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 and the emergence of decentralised finance (DeFi) protocols like Ethena have been instrumental in facilitating large–scale arbitrage, further anchoring futures prices to spot prices and contributing to market efficiency.
  • Era of Stable Funding Rates: The current environment of stable funding rates suggests significantly reduced market volatility. This stability could position Bitcoin as a more reliable asset for institutional portfolios, with potential wider implications for traditional financial markets.

“Our study highlights a profound transformation in the Bitcoin perpetual swap market,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. “The dramatic reduction in extreme funding rates on XBTUSD underscores the growing maturity and institutional acceptance of crypto. As one of the oldest crypto exchanges, we’re excited to be able to share such market insights for our traders and reinforce the industry’s integration into the global financial landscape.”
