BitMEX History

Cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX was founded by HDR Global Trading Limited in 2014.

Registration

An important benegit of BitMEX is anonymity – you only need an email to register on the exchange.

On this page you need to specify your email and come up with a password (use a complex password, try not to reuse old passwords).


Please note that according to the terms of service BitMEX does not provide its services to users from a number of jurisdictions, including the US, Hong Kong and Crimea.

After that, you will need to confirm your email by conformation link which will be sent from BitMEX.

Once you enter the exchange, you will be greeted by an interface that may scare newcomers, but then again, BitMEX is an exchange for experienced traders and before you start real trading, it is better to practice on a demo account.

Another feature of BitMEX is a fully adaptive interface that you can customize “to your liking” – enable/disable windows, move and resize them.

  • high volumes of trades;
  • simple registration procedure and anonymity;
  • adaptive interface that can be customized;
