BitMEX Launches Hyperliquid Copy Trading For Users to Mirror the Moves of PerpDEX Pros

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, one of the safest exchanges, announced today the launch of Hyperliquid Copy Trading, giving its users the ability to copy the best Hyperliquid perps traders. The release allows traders to enjoy the best of both worlds, combining access to Hyperliquid’s best traders with the user experience and safety of the BitMEX platform.

Hyperliquid Copy Trading marks a major expansion to BitMEX’s existing Copy Trading feature, which allows users to automatically replicate the trading strategies and positions of elite traders. This ensures access to the sharpest trader strategies without any exposure to underlying DeFi risk. Designed for effortless trading, BitMEX Copy Trading saves time by enabling less experienced traders to follow the wisdom of profitable professionals.

Hyperliquid remains a dominant force in the decentralized perpetual exchange (PerpDEX) landscape, capturing over 60% of all open interest. It combines features of futures contracts with spot trading flexibility, allowing traders to speculate on asset prices without an expiration date.

Users who navigate to BitMEX’s Copy Trading Marketplace will see a Hyperliquid sub–tab. This displays a leaderboard of the top Hyperliquid traders that they can copy or reverse copy trade. Positions are automatically opened on BitMEX, replicating the strategy of the Hyperliquid trader in question. Each Hyperliquid trader is ranked by metrics such as PnL, Drawdown, Win Ratio, and AUM (Assets Under Management), making it easy to identify top performing traders.

BitMEX CEO Stephan Lutz said: “BitMEX pioneered the perpetual swap, which has since become the industry standard for futures trading. The launch of Hyperliquid Copy Trading completes the circle, bringing the alpha available on the world’s leading PerpDEX to BitMEX users and incorporating it into their existing workflow.”

Up to five Hyperliquid traders can be copied simultaneously using BitMEX’s Copy Trading Marketplace, with users able to customize their preferred risk management settings for each, such as by implementing Take Profits and Stop Loss. Choosing a Copy Leader that suits their needs allows them to automate their crypto derivatives trading and make more informed decisions.

To celebrate the launch, BitMEX is offering a 100,000 USDT prize pool for eligible users who trade Copy Trade on their platform. Additional educational resources and product guides are available through the BitMEX website and blog.

CORRECTING and REPLACING – BitMEX Report Finds Crypto Perpetuals Enter Post-Yield Era

In a release issued under the same headline earlier today by BitMEX, please note that the link to the blog in the ninth paragraph has changed. The corrected release follows:

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Jan. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, one of the safest exchanges, today released its end–of–year research report, “State of Crypto Perpetual Swaps 2025,” outlining five core insights that defined a turbulent year for the global crypto derivatives market. The report examines how structural stress, liquidity shocks and the breakdown of once–reliable trading strategies reshaped perpetual swaps in 2025.

According to the report, the most significant event of the year was the Oct. 10 to 11 market crash, which triggered an estimated $20 billion liquidation cascade. BitMEX analysis shows that auto–deleveraging mechanisms across multiple exchanges disrupted delta–neutral strategies, forcing professional market makers to reduce liquidity and leaving order books at their thinnest levels since 2022.

“2025 marked a turning point where market structure mattered more than market direction,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. “The events of October showed that even sophisticated, historically neutral strategies can fail when exchange risk engines are stressed, and that resilience now depends on transparent systems and disciplined risk management.”

The report also finds that funding rate arbitrage, once considered a reliable source of passive yield, became increasingly crowded. As exchange–native delta–neutral products expanded, funding rates compressed sharply, with yields falling toward 4 percent and often below prevailing U.S. Treasury rates by mid–year.

Beyond market mechanics, the report highlights a growing trust divide between fair matching exchanges and so–called B–Book platforms. BitMEX researchers observed multiple incidents in which profitable traders faced trade reversals or account restrictions under “abnormal trading” clauses, reinforcing the importance of understanding counterparty risk.

“Where traders choose to execute has become as important as the strategy itself,” Lutz said. “As derivatives markets mature, participants are demanding venues that prioritize fair matching, clear rules and accountability, particularly during periods of market stress.”

The report also examines the rise of perpetual decentralized exchanges, noting increased innovation alongside new vulnerabilities such as targeted liquidation attacks and oracle manipulation. At the same time, BitMEX identifies emerging product categories, including equity perpetuals and funding rate trading, as signs of continued evolution in the derivatives landscape. Earlier this week, it launched Equity Perps, giving traders 24/7 access to 10 US stocks and indices.

Looking ahead, BitMEX concludes that the era of easy yield has ended, but that innovation in product design and market structure is accelerating. The firm expects continued convergence between crypto and traditional markets, with derivatives increasingly used to access global assets on a 24/7 basis.

The full “State of Crypto Perpetual Swaps 2025” report is available on the BitMEX blog.

BitMEX Launches Equity Perps for 24/7 Stock Trading

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, one of the safest exchanges, today announced the launch of Equity Perps, a new derivatives product that allows traders to gain exposure to major U.S. stocks and equity indices using cryptocurrency as collateral. The launch expands BitMEX’s product suite beyond crypto–native markets, enabling 24/7 trading on traditional equity benchmarks, including when U.S. stock markets are closed.

Equity Perps are cash–settled perpetual swap contracts that track the price of individual U.S. stocks or indices and do not have an expiry date. Similar to BitMEX’s existing crypto perpetuals, the contracts use a funding rate mechanism to anchor prices to the underlying reference index. Traders can take long or short positions with up to 20x leverage, using assets such as Bitcoin or Tether as margin collateral.

“Equity Perps give traders a more flexible way to access U.S. equity markets using crypto,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. “By removing traditional market hours and allowing crypto collateral, we are extending our derivatives expertise to a broader set of global markets while maintaining the reliability and performance BitMEX is known for.”

At launch, Equity Perps are available on a selection of widely traded U.S. stocks and indices, including Amazon, Apple, Circle, Coinbase, Meta, Nvidia, Robinhood, Tesla, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq. BitMEX plans to expand the range of available contracts over time. Trading is open 24/7, with index pricing during U.S. market hours based primarily on real–time equity prices and, outside those hours, supported by tokenized spot prices from multiple exchanges.

All Equity Perps trades on BitMEX feature a maker rebate of 2.5 basis points and a taker fee of 7.5 basis points. Funding is exchanged every eight hours, consistent with BitMEX’s existing perpetual swap products, regardless of U.S. equity market hours. In the event of corporate actions such as stock splits, affected contracts will be settled early and relisted once the action is complete.

To mark the launch, BitMEX is offering a 70,000 USDT prize pool for eligible users who trade Equity Perps, alongside maker rebates on all Equity Perps contracts. Additional educational resources and product guides are available through the BitMEX website and blog.
