BitMEX Integrates with Banxa to Expand On and Off-Ramp Offerings

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, a leading crypto derivatives exchange, announced today a strategic integration with Banxa, a global provider of on-and-off ramp solutions. The partnership expands BitMEX’s fiat-to-crypto offerings to users in over 180 countries to seamlessly convert their fiat to crypto, and vice versa.

As digital asset adoption grows, the need for accessible on-and-off ramps has become paramount. In addition to purchasing digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL), users can instantly sell their cryptocurrency to receive fiat currencies directly into their bank accounts or payment cards, via Banxa’s regulated network.

The partnership reinforces BitMEX’s commitment to remove existing friction in trading strategies by offering a wider array of local payment methods and fiat support. Key features include:

  • Broad Currency Support: Support for 30+ cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, and SOL, and 35+ fiat currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, and AUD.
  • Bidirectional Conversion: Users can buy and sell crypto instantly for immediate access to their funds.
  • Global Payment Flexibility: Support for Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and local bank transfers (including PayPal, SEPA, and Faster Payments).
  • Frictionless User Experience: Verified BitMEX users can access Banxa’s fiat-to-crypto gateway without additional verification, accelerating the trading process.

“Our goal at BitMEX is to provide a professional-grade trading environment that is as accessible as it is powerful,” said Raphael Polansky, Chief Growth Officer at BitMEX. “By partnering with Banxa to expand our on and off-ramp offerings, we are providing our users with more ways to close the crypto loop. Traders can now fund their accounts, execute their strategies, and realise their profits all within the BitMEX ecosystem using the payment methods they trust most.”

”Infrastructure is a genuine business advantage. With BitMEX, we’re delivering more than a reliable and compliant fiat to crypto ramp — we’re creating a growth engine that helps bring liquidity into the platform, supports user acquisition, and enables them to confidently scale.” said Shaun Heng, Chief Product & Growth Officer at Banxa.

Users who purchase crypto on BitMEX using Banxa and other fiat providers can receive up to $110 in rewards. Those who use credit/debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay to purchase crypto with Banxa are also eligible for 0 fees from 4 June to 4 July. More information on the integration can be found here.

A licensed agency brokerage sitting above fragmented markets, aggregating liquidity across venues, and delivering conflict-free institutional access through a single interface spanning spot, derivatives, perpetual futures, FX, and tokenised real-world assets with advanced algorithmic execution, real-time collateral management, pre-trade compliance, and full audit trail built in. Not adapted from retail. Built for institutions from day one.

BitMEX Expands TradFi Perpetual Swaps with FX for 24/7 Crypto Trading

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX today announced the launch of six FX Perpetual Swap contracts, enabling traders to access global currency markets using cryptocurrency as collateral on a 24/7 basis.

The new offering includes EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CHF, and USD/CAD, providing exposure to some of the most traded currency pairs without relying on traditional brokers or fiat funding. The contracts remain open continuously, including weekends when conventional forex markets are closed.

The launch builds on BitMEX’s experience in crypto derivatives and marks a renewed expansion into forex-linked perpetual products, designed to meet evolving trader demand with a more focused and scalable offering.

“Forex is the largest and most liquid market globally, yet access still depends on fragmented and time-bound systems,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO at BitMEX. “With FX Perpetual Swaps, traders can access major currency pairs at any time using crypto as margin, without the operational friction of traditional brokerage models. This reflects a broader shift toward always-on, borderless trading.”

FX Perpetual Swaps allow traders to post crypto as margin, removing the need for fiat deposits, bank transfers, or broker onboarding. The contracts offer up to 100x leverage and operate with a 0% base interest rate, eliminating overnight swap fees commonly charged by traditional forex providers.

The selected pairs represent a significant share of global forex activity. EUR/USD alone accounts for roughly 23% of daily trading volume, while USD/JPY and GBP/USD are widely used to express views on interest rates, monetary policy, and global risk sentiment.

Unlike traditional forex markets, which close for approximately 48 hours over the weekend, BitMEX’s perpetual product offering enables continuous trading and real-time response to macroeconomic events. Pricing is derived from aggregated external data during market hours and transitions to internal order book activity during off-hours to maintain uninterrupted access.

BitMEX plans to expand its range of TradFi perpetual products based on user demand, building on its existing offerings across equities and commodities—including products such as WTI crude oil and silver (XAG). This broader expansion reflects BitMEX’s strategy to bridge crypto-native infrastructure with traditional financial markets through a unified derivatives platform.

More details about BitMEX’s FX Perpetual Swaps can be found on their blog.

BitMEX Report Finds 500%+ Increase in Tokenised Commodities and Equity Perpetuals

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX has released its Q1 2026 derivatives report, highlighting a sharp rise in trading activity for traditional finance perpetual swaps (TradFi Perps), driven by increased demand for tokenised commodities and equities.

According to the report, TradFi perpetual swaps grew from 0.03% of total crypto derivatives volume in December 2025 to 1.72% by the end of Q1 2026, reaching $30.7 billion in weekly trading volume. This expansion was supported by new product launches across prominent exchanges and macroeconomic events, including increased volatility in commodities markets.

“Q1 marked a clear inflection point for TradFi perpetuals, with volume growth driven by real market demand for 24/7 access to commodities and equities,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO at BitMEX. “What we’re seeing is the early formation of a structurally different market, one that removes the constraints of traditional trading hours and introduces new forms of price discovery and liquidity.”

BitMEX has introduced a range of TradFi perpetual products as part of this shift, expanding its derivatives offering to provide continuous access to commodities and equity markets.

The report identifies commodities as the primary growth driver, with trading volume increasing more than 65,000% during the quarter. Precious metals such as silver and gold led early momentum, while crude oil trading accelerated in March amid geopolitical tensions, reaching $6.9 billion in weekly volume.

Equity perpetuals also saw significant growth, rising more than 900% to $4.9 billion in weekly volume. Activity was concentrated in crypto-adjacent equities and major technology stocks, reflecting continued convergence between digital asset markets and traditional finance instruments.

The report further notes structural differences between perpetual swaps and traditional Contracts for Difference (CFD), particularly in areas such as transparent price discovery, peer-to-peer execution, and continuous market access.

Unlike CFD-based models offered by some platforms, these products enable direct market participation, with pricing determined by underlying market dynamics rather than broker-led mechanisms. These characteristics have contributed to increased participation from both retail and professional traders.

Market expansion was also shaped by exchange-level developments. BitMEX recorded more than 1,300% growth over the 90-day period while Binance captured a significant share of new volume following its entry into the category.

In addition, funding rate disparities across exchanges created arbitrage opportunities. The report highlights cases where traders could capture yield through cross-exchange positioning, with some spreads exceeding 100% annualised returns under specific conditions.

Looking ahead, BitMEX expects continued growth in TradFi perpetual markets, supported by broader asset listings across Forex, commodities, and more, increasing institutional awareness, and ongoing demand for 24/7 trading access. The report suggests that weekly trading volumes could approach $100 billion as additional asset classes enter the market.

The full report can be found on BitMEX’s blog.
