BitMEX is a peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency exchange and professional derivatives trading platform founded by HDR Global Trading Limited and registered in Seychelles under the International Business Companies Act. BitMEX stands for Bitcoin Mercantile Exchange. It focuses primarily on advanced investors and seasoned traders who are familiar with the concepts of leveraged tokens and margin trading.
The platform claims to stand out from the competition due to deep liquidity for Bitcoin perpetuals, a professional trading dashboard, low trading fees, and no deposit or withdrawal fees. BitMEX offers futures and other derivatives, but for beginners, the functionality of the exchange can be complex. On top of that, BitMEX only does crypto-to-crypto trading without the possibility of depositing fiat.

The developers also highlight an MPC system, which enhances the security for the deposit/withdrawal of funds and prevents any actions of intruders.
The project was co-founded by banking experts Arthur Hayes (CEO), Samuel Reed (CTO), and Ben Delo (CSO). Arthur Hayes is an entrepreneur, derivatives trader, and crypto enthusiast. Hayes graduated from the University of Pennsylvania (Wharton School of Business) with a Bachelor of Science in economics and finance. He worked for Deutsche Bank and Citibank as a market maker, discovered an interest in Bitcoin in 2013, became part of BitMEX in 2014, and left the post of CEO of the company in 2020.
It was established in 2014 in Hong Kong and registered in Seychelles. BitMEX is owned by HDR Global Trading Limited.
