first_img After 11 years of operation, BitMEX has stopped trading and deposits, retaining only withdrawals

The cryptocurrency derivatives platform BitMEX has ceased trading, deposits, and opening new positions, retaining only the withdrawal function. The platform announced on social media platform X that as of this Tuesday at 04:00 UTC, the aforementioned services will no longer be available. Users can still log in and withdraw their balances through the official website, but deposits have been confirmed as impossible. BitMEX was co-founded by Arthur Hayes, Ben Delo, and Samuel Reed in 2014, known for promoting perpetual contracts as mainstream trading tools in the cryptocurrency derivatives market.BitMEX urges customers to withdraw their funds as soon as possible and states that account fees will be charged to users with completed KYC certification who still have a balance, billed monthly, at a standard of 1% annualized on assets or a minimum equivalent of $50, whichever is higher. The company emphasizes that this shutdown does not freeze customer assets, and the withdrawal channel remains open during the liquidation process.BitMEX announced its closure in July this year, following a strategic assessment by its parent company HDR Global Trading, as the exchange's market share in the perpetual contract market it helped create continued to decline. According to research data from CoinDesk, the monthly trading volume of centralized cryptocurrency exchange derivatives reached $3.4 trillion in August, with an annual scale potentially reaching $50 trillion. Previously, BitMart also announced its shutdown in July after nine years of operation due to market conditions.

first_img Hyperscale Data has stopped Bitcoin mining in Michigan, and its Bitcoin holdings have shrunk by about 79%

The U.S. publicly traded company Hyperscale Data has terminated all Bitcoin mining operations at its Michigan facility to convert the site into infrastructure for artificial intelligence data center clients. The company stated on Wednesday that all Bitcoin mining machines in the facility have been shut down following an inspection by an unnamed California neocloud provider, and plans to sell the related mining equipment.Hyperscale Data stated that the client has signed a 10-year master service agreement, contracting 20 megawatts (MW) of AI computing power, with two optional extensions of 5 years each. The company estimates that this agreement could generate over $1.2 billion in revenue over the maximum 20-year term, and if the client exercises an additional 32 MW option, potential revenue could exceed $3 billion, while the site is expected to ultimately support 340 MW. However, the company also cautioned that its expansion plans are still in the preliminary stages and depend on financing, approvals, and other risks.Meanwhile, Hyperscale has significantly reduced its Bitcoin holdings to fund AI construction. Affected by the company's completion of a four-for-one reverse stock split and other factors, its stock price closed at $0.1984 on Wednesday, down about 17%, marking a record low adjusted for the stock split. According to BitcoinTreasuries.NET data, the company currently holds approximately 215 Bitcoins, valued at about $16.7 million, a decrease of about 79% from around 1,006 at the end of July, ranking 84th among publicly traded companies tracked on the platform.
