BitMEX Turns 11 – The Exchange that Taught Crypto How to Trade

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, the exchange that helped define modern crypto trading, marks its 11–year anniversary today with a bold celebration of the traders who helped shape the exchange and the industry since 2014. As part of the milestone, BitMEX is releasing “11 Insights from 11 Years of Experience,” a curated set of hard–earned lessons from more than a decade at the frontier of digital asset markets.

11 Years of being Big and Bold: How BitMEX Helped Build Modern Crypto Trading
BitMEX’s story is linked with the history of crypto itself. From inventing the world’s first perpetual swap and being the first to introduce 100x leverage, to being one of the earliest advocates for Proof of Reserves, BitMEX has been consistently ahead of the curve. As the market evolved through cycles, narratives, and reinventions, BitMEX stayed grounded in its founding principles: build for traders, not hype. Today, BitMEX continues pushing that mission forward – expanding access to professional tools including Copy Trading, Trading Bots, and advanced derivatives – whilst upholding its commitments to transparency, resilience, and technical excellence.

“BitMEX has weathered every cycle because we built on principles, not trends,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. “In my three years as CEO, I’ve watched the market reinvent itself again and again. Many exchanges have risen and fallen and we’ve seen many things change, but BitMEX has always stayed true to its DNA. We’ve remained principled, resilient, and trader–first, and I’ve never been prouder to lead this company. The last few years have shown me that when the market gets loud, traders return to the platforms that are steady, neutral, and battle–tested. I’m proud of what my team has achieved and incredibly excited about what comes next.”

11 Insights from 11 Years: What a Decade on the Frontline Has Taught Us
BitMEX is celebrating its anniversary by consolidating a decade of hard lessons, market scars, and engineering breakthroughs into 11 key insights – a candid look at what really matters in crypto trading. The highlights include:
1.   It’s always been about Bitcoin.

Every cycle reinforces the same truth: Bitcoin is still the only asset to consistently surpass its previous all–time highs, driven by its immaculate monetary design and decentralised origins.

2.   Perpetual swaps are the greatest finance invention in the 21st century.

Before BitMEX created the perpetual swap, crypto derivatives were broken toys. The perps solved the fundamental limitations of traditional futures and became the most traded product in crypto. Real innovation endures.

3.   Security isn’t a product — it’s a practice. You can’t buy trust. You have to earn it every day.

BitMEX’s 100% cold–storage, multi–signature withdrawal model was slow and inconvenient but that is exactly why it worked. After 11 years, the lesson remained the same: security isn’t just a feature but a philosophy backed by non–negotiable trade–offs.

4.   Are you trading the market or the house?

Many exchanges still run internal market–making desks – a structural conflict that gives them visibility into customer flow and liquidation levels. BitMEX was built differently: no prop trading or no internal desks. A neutral venue remains the only fair venue.

5.   Crypto remains a fragmented market.

The crypto market isn’t a unified pool, it’s a patchwork of liquidity silos. As we highlighted in our Q1 2025 Derivatives Report, some exchanges list tokens that peak on Day 1 and collapse immediately after. BitMEX’s listing strategy consistently shows stronger, more sustainable performance because real markets require real liquidity.

6.   The real risk isn't liquidation. It's Auto–Deleveraging.

Liquidation is predictable; ADL isn’t. When markets crash faster than the insurance fund can respond, profitable traders can still be force–closed. BitMEX’s ADL system does not privilege any trader in the queue, results of years of engineering to ensure fairness under stress.

7.   Fair Price Marking: The shield for perp traders against market manipulation.

BitMEX pioneered the concept of Fair Price Marking, which protects traders positions by anchoring Mark Prices to a hybrid composite index rather than a single source. To move that price, manipulators would need to crash the global spot market, not just a single venue. It’s the ultimate defence for high–leverage traders.

8.   Leverage is freedom.

BitMEX introduced 100x leverage but paired it with non–recourse liquidation, meaning traders can never lose more than their posted collateral. It democratised access to position sizes previously reserved for institutions, while demanding a level of discipline and precision most traders underestimate.

9.   The Bitcoin 4–Year Cycle isn’t dead.

As outlined in our recent article, “Four–Year Cycles Aren't Dead”, every cycle births a new “this time is different” narrative, but leverage, human psychology, and halving–driven supply constraints continue to reset the market in predictable waves. The ETF era hasn’t changed the underlying plumbing, the cycle is alive and functioning exactly as designed.

10.   Be careful of the high–yield stablecoin trap.

Some “stablecoins” are not stable; rather, they’re leveraged yield schemes waiting to implode. Terra/LUNA, xUSD, and USDX all followed the same pattern: artificial yields masked unsustainable mechanics. High yield is always a warning label, not a feature.

11.   Don't confuse the wrapper with the asset.

ETFs, digital asset treasuries, and structured wrappers offer new access but come with fees, incentives, and premium/discount dynamics that often cause them to underperform the crypto they track. The wrapper is a business; the asset is the asset. Traders must know the difference.

BitMEX Reduces Spot Fees by 50% and Introduces Maker Rebates, Paying Traders to Provide Liquidity

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Oct. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, one of the safest crypto exchanges, announced today a major upgrade to its Spot trading fee structure, featuring a 50% reduction in fees and up to 0.015% in rebates. The new model is designed to aggressively reward traders and provide community support following the recent market crash, establishing one of the most competitive fee structures in the industry.

Trading fees are a critical component of a trader's profitability, directly impacting returns on every transaction. By fundamentally lowering the cost to trade, BitMEX aims to maximise efficiency and profitability for its users, from beginners to high–volume institutional clients.

The new fee structure, effective immediately, introduces several transformative changes:

  • Spot Fees Reduced by 50% for All: Standard Maker and Taker fees have been reduced from 0.1000% to 0.0500%. This change grants all regular users the highly competitive rates previously reserved for top–tier VIPs.
  • 'Get Paid to Trade' with Maker Rebates: All VIP traders will receive maker rebates for providing liquidity. The programme offers rebates of up to –0.0150%, meaning BitMEX now pays its highest–volume market makers to trade on the platform.
  • Immediate Support for the Trading Community: Launched in response to recent historic market volatility, this initiative is designed to provide immediate relief and support, helping traders accelerate their recovery and maximise future opportunities.

All changes to the BitMEX Spot trading fee structure can be viewed here.

“In the wake of unprecedented market events, our priority is to provide tangible support to our trading community,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. “This new fee structure is a fundamental shift to reward every trader on our platform. By offering some of the lowest fees and highest rebates in the industry, we are reaffirming our commitment to making BitMEX the most efficient and profitable exchange for spot trading.”

More details about the new fee structure can be found here.

BitMEX Study Finds Cryptocurrency Funding Rates Positive 92% of the Time, Revealing a Structural Market Bias

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Oct. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, one of the safest crypto exchanges, announced today the findings of its study, “The Anchor and the Ceiling: Understanding the Structure of Funding Rates,” which reveals that two structural forces are driving cryptocurrency funding rates to remain positive 92% of the time and that rates above the 0.01% baseline are often short–lived. The report outlines how crypto traders can leverage this predictable dynamic to adopt sophisticated, structure–based trading.

Since BitMEX invented the perpetual swap nine years ago, the market has evolved significantly. Now, dedicated funding rate trading markets are emerging, allowing traders to speculate on the market's underlying mechanics. Funding rates, the periodic payments that keep futures prices aligned with spot prices, have become a key indicator of market structure, offering insights that go beyond simple price sentiment.

The study, which analysed data from Q3 2025 across BitMEX, Binance, and Hyperliquid, uncovered several key insights:

  • The Structural 'Anchor' Keeps Funding Rates at 0.01%: The perpetual swap funding formula has a built–in interest component that acts as a gravitational pull towards a baseline rate of 0.01%. Data shows funding rates were positive for over 92% of Q3 2025, even when contracts traded at a slight discount.
  • The Arbitrage 'Ceiling' Caps Extreme Spikes: Large inflows of institutional capital create a hard ceiling for funding rates. This capital is rapidly deployed to short high–premium contracts, compressing rates back to the baseline. This ensures that extreme positive funding rates are short–lived and unstable.
  • BitMEX Leads in Funding Rate Stability: The analysis confirmed BitMEX exhibited the most stable and predictable funding rates for both BTC and ETH. The rate was exactly 0.01% for 78.19% of the quarter for BTC and 87.52% for ETH, demonstrating a highly efficient market where perpetuals consistently track spot prices. In contrast, venues like Hyperliquid showed significantly higher volatility.

“As the inventors of the perpetual swap, we are witnessing its next major evolution – the rise of funding rate trading,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. “Our latest research moves beyond market sentiment to reveal the core mechanics driving this market. The 'anchor' and 'ceiling' are not theories; they are structural forces that create high–probability trading opportunities. This study underscores a new level of market maturity, where understanding the architecture is the key to success.”

Over 185% Liquidity Improvements on BitMEX Derivatives Contracts Following Strategic AWS Tokyo Migration

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, one of the world’s safest crypto exchanges, today announced the transformative impact of its successful trading engine migration to AWS Tokyo. The move has delivered liquidity improvements by more than 185% across nine perpetual contracts and markedly faster order execution times for traders globally.

The migration was executed by the BitMEX engineering team on 23 August 2025, which was completed within ten minutes. The exchange was brought back online in under an hour—a major technical milestone for the platform that ensured a smooth, disruption–free transition for users.

One month following the migration, the platform enhancements are clear:

  • Deeper Liquidity on Flagship Contracts: Liquidity within 5 basis points of the mid–price for XBTUSDT and ETHUSDT has deepened by 185% and 401% respectively. This directly benefits traders with tighter spreads and reduced slippage.
  • Measurable Improvements on Emerging Pairs: Newer contracts for HYPE, BCH, PEPE, and more, have also recorded liquidity improvements of more than 2000%, broadening the range of trading opportunities available on the platform. Known as the home of OG Bitcoin perpetual swap, BitMEX is now extending its credibility across a wider suite of perpetual contracts, proving itself as a serious venue for trading tokens beyond Bitcoin.
  • Faster, More Reliable Execution: End–to–end order placement latency and orderbook latency have improved to support active market–making participants to increase orderbook liquidity even more than before.

“The seamless execution of this migration is a technical milestone and a strategic leap forward in our commitment to delivering an institutional–grade trading experience, while also empowering retail users with better execution quality and innovative products,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. The immediate improvements in latency and liquidity directly translate to a more competitive and robust trading environment for all users and our work isn’t done. We are already building on this success to deliver even greater performance in the months ahead.”

BitMEX’s AWS Tokyo migration is just the beginning of a broader roadmap to continually optimise platform performance. In the upcoming months, BitMEX expects further improvements in the platform’s liquidity and latency as it finetunes internal processes and rolls out additional infrastructure improvements.
