Dear BitMEX Users,
Today, we share with a very heavy heart that BitMEX exchange will shut down its operations, effective 23 September 2026 at 04:00:00 UTC.
The owner and operator of BitMEX, HDR Global Trading Limited, has made the difficult decision to close operations following a strategic review of the business.
It may not look the same today, but we are proud of our 11+ year legacy and the role we played in shaping the crypto industry. We invented the 100x leverage perpetual swap, which for most of you, was the first step to your crypto trading journey. It is now the most traded financial product in the crypto industry, adopted by thousands of users and exchanges. And we remain proud of our robust security infrastructure, which has allowed us to maintain a flawless track record of 0 customer funds lost to hacks in our entire operating history.
We want to reassure you that your assets remain fully safe and under your control during this transition period. This announcement is just to give enough time to ensure a smooth withdrawal process for everyone.
From today we strongly encourage all users to close their positions and withdraw their funds as soon as convenient. For more details on the full process, please read our blog: https://t.co/OOHeh6xHm8
BitMEX was once home to some of the greatest traders today. Our team has dedicated tremendous effort and passion into building the platform into what it is, and we are glad to have reached some of you during your time with us. To everyone who has traded, supported, and grown alongside us - thank you for your trust over the last 11 years.

🚨 The future of Bitcoin is evolving, and $NAT is at the center of it. 🚨
In our latest podcast, we break down:
⚡ The historic moment $NAT was mined by Bitcoin miners on BLOCK 885588
🔍 Why $NAT & Digital Matter Theory & Digital Power are critical for Bitcoin’s long-term sustainability
🎯 The game plan to educate miners & the broader community
💡 @JasonPLowery bullish take on Digital Matter Theory & Bitcoin’s higher purpose
The NATwork effect is growing. Don’t miss this one. 🎙️👇
$NAT Officially Mining! | Liquidity For Bitcoin L1 Swaps | Jason Lowery’s Bitcoin Power ⚡| TBR #256
https://t.co/a6RZ0xshbP
We discuss our experience on the day of $NAT being officially mined by Bitcoin miners and discuss in detail what the prospects are for $NAT and DMT in supporting the growth of the Bitcoin ecosystem. As well as game plan steps moving forward in order to further educate the mining community and regular folk about what it is $NAT represents as the first DMT asset contributing to furthering the future sustainability of Bitcoin. We then showcase some of the Ordinal assets for mint that will contribute to adding liquidity for $NAT on @TaparooSwap, a Bitcoin L1 AMM DEX.
With our efforts and the community behind us, we can strengthen $NAT over time and build a strong NATwork effect in support of the DMT ecosystem as a whole. We firmly believe the success of $NAT will be the catalyst for the entire Bitcoin ecosystem as it represents a native to Bitcoin product that is closest aligned to the ethos and value of Bitcoin itself. At the end we discuss Jason Lowery’s recent bullish sentiment around Digital Matter Theory and how we align with his talking points of his next book titled “Digital Power”. Having notable actors in the Bitcoin community continually propagating the idea of Bitcoin’s higher purpose being the utilization of its immutable substrate layer will further elevate the DMT mission.

We are on a quest to get $NAT to 1 Billion market cap to amplify the DMT narrative but need some help from the community to get the token listed abroad
We discuss $NAT quest to pool liquidity and how AI will find its place in the Bitmap ecosystem to help the community build 👇
100K Bitcoin | AI x Bitmap | $NAT Liquidity Quest | TBR #243
https://t.co/N7qll2wmB1
No interview this week, so we take the time to discuss recent events, such as Bitcoin reaching a new paradigm in price discovery, and also reflect on the 1st DMT anniversary live stream from last week. This was a full-circle demonstration of how Bitmap and the DMT ecosystem align to produce engaging experiences in the metaverse on Bitcoin. With the surge in AI agent interest, we postulate how this technology will interplay with the existing metaverse landscape, as well as share ideas on how it can be utilized to enhance BitmapOS. With AI Agents most useful feature being the ability to complete tasks on command, the need for “jobs” in the metaverse must exist. The most relevant job requirement for the Bitmap ecosystem is the ability to construct 3D assets on parcels. AI agents who can assist in this regard will prove tremendously valuable to the metaverse economy.
We then pivot our discussion to $NAT which is in dire need of liquidity assistance. During the holidays Ordinals Wallet was no longer supporting the trading of $NAT tokens which made it clear that additional options for token trading need to exist. However, to be listed on centralized exchanges requires tremendous capital so initiatives need to be put in motion in order to aggregate liquidity to complete the process and to grant $NAT new market exposure.
We discuss some of these initiatives and plans and hope to see the DMT community align with our strategy in hopes of a billion-dollar market cap for $NAT, which we believe will serve as a catalyst to attract liquidity for the entire DMT ecosystem of creators.

So the NAT crew has done something pretty genius here.
There are plans to begin auto-awarding miners with block reward DMT-NAT tokens.
If miners don't trade it, then NAT becomes non-inflationary. If it does get traded, then miners are creating transfer inscriptions.
除了在Ordinals Wallet上,DMT-NAT也可以在SATX上交易(链接:https://t.co/hVI7YAAnZg)。
虽然目前支持DMT-NAT的主流平台不多,交易渠道有限,但这并不影响它的价格和每日成交量的上涨。等到TAP的一层Swap和跨链功能上线后,未来会有更多渠道可以进行买卖。(soon,就最近上线。)
教程如下图👇
In addition to Ordinals Wallet, DMT-NAT can also be traded on SATX (link: https://t.co/hVI7YAAnZg).
Although many mainstream platforms don't yet support DMT-NAT and trading options are limited, this hasn’t impacted its price or daily trading volume, both of which continue to rise. Once TAP’s layer-1 swap and cross-chain features are launched, there will be even more ways to buy and sell it in the future.
The tutorial is shown in the image below.👇

Runes is a bunch of fun but I think its clear based on the the way Casey talks about it that its a Bitcoin casino for meme coins.
It will be positive in the sense that it will bring increased liquidity to the bitcoin ecosystem. How much liquidity we will have to wait and see.
$TAP @tap_protocol will be the infrastructure platform for builders making high quality products, solving problems which BRC20's had and being a DeFi hub for Bitcoin. As well as all the fun stuff like Gaming, Digital matter theory and community projects.
