BitMEX
BitMEX is a cryptocurrency exchange and derivative trading platform. It is owned and operated by HDR Global Trading Limited, which is registered in the Seychelles and has offices worldwide.History
BitMEX was founded in 2014 by Arthur Hayes, Ben Delo, and Samuel Reed, with financing from family and friends. In 2018 Ben Delo was reported to be the United Kingdom's first billionaire who made their fortune from bitcoin and its youngest self-made billionaire.
In July 2019, Nouriel Roubini, a critic of cryptocurrencies, suggested that the exchange is involved in illegal activities, allowing traders to take on too much risk and by trading against clients. Two days later, it was reported by Bloomberg that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission was investigating BitMEX as to whether they broke rules by allowing Americans to trade on the platform.
