BitMEX changed my life forever, grateful to have met the founders and consider them friends. Many mistakes were made, but they played a pivotal role in the industry and the founders success is well deserved. A true story of novel implementation, great marketing and execution minting a trio of billionaires.

Sad to see BitMex go. Some thoughts: BitMex pioneered 100x perps in crypto back in 2014. Delivery futures existed before then, making Fridays hectic. BTC deposits only, one chain only, withdrawals only once per day, through a multi-sig wallet. The constraints that seemed inconvenient kept them unhacked. All four founders pled guilty to BSA violations a month before trial, after 18 months of fighting it. $10m fine each, home confinement. No one went to prison. However, their business didn’t survive the “war on crypto” from the Biden admin. Lastly, wind down appears orderly, users can withdrawals their assets. Respect to @CryptoHayes 🫡

End of an era🫡 Arthur, Ben & Sam were the first to commercialize perpetual futures. Without BitMEX there would be no FTX, no Binance perps & no Hyperliquid. Grateful for my time there both as a user and an employee- very instructive. RIP to a legend. Goodnight sweet prince.

BitMEX recorded $84M in BTC futures volume yesterday, representing 0.08% of the market. It was a great exchange that helped shape the industry, and now it is passing the torch to the next generation of exchanges it inspired.

BitMEX pioneered the perpetual swap and became the world's #1 crypto exchange. Used by millions, it inspired the exchanges that followed — including Bybit. Regulators came for them, but the product outlived the backlash. Today perps are the beating heart of crypto, going legal in more countries every year (EU, Dubai VARA, HK, and more). End of an era. Respect to the legends who built it. 🫡 @CryptoHayes @bendelo Sam Reed

BitMEX is closing. If you traded in 2017 you already felt something in your chest reading that... Eleven years, zero funds lost to hackers, and the invention that every single exchange on earth copied. I opened my account in 2017 when signing up needed nothing but an email address and a strong stomach lol Probably the OG's know already but here are some fun facts I love about the BitMEX story: Three guys built the perpetual swap in May 2016 and it almost died in its first month. The market was so broken one of the founders wanted to delete it. Hayes talked him out of it and fixed the funding over a weekend. Every perp you trade today, on any exchange, exists because of that argument. One of them, Ben Delo, got expelled from three primary schools as a kid. His Oxford classmates voted him most likely to become a millionaire and second most likely to go to jail. He managed both. They rented the 45th floor of one of the most expensive towers in Hong Kong, right next to Goldman Sachs. Meanwhile their own users were getting rekt at 100x in their pyjamas at 4am. Eleven years and not one satoshi lost to a hacker. Say what you want about them, they never lost your coins. I lost a lot of money there (thats true lol). I also learned position sizing there, which has probably made me more than the losses cost me. Nothing teaches you risk like watching the whole exchange watch you blow up.
