BitMEX settled 35 derivatives today, July 30, closing any remaining positions and canceling open orders as the exchange moved another step toward its September shutdown.<\/p>\n

BitMEX\u2019s settlement log shows 33 contracts closing almost on the stroke of noon, at 12:00:05 UTC. EURUSD and USDCHF followed at 12:32:25 and 12:33:25 UTC. With prices now posted for the full 35-contract batch, the early settlement flagged in BitMEX\u2019s July 22 notice is complete.<\/p>\n

BitMEX attributed the delistings to insufficient trading interest and its planned exchange shutdown. It described the process as an early settlement, not a margin liquidation.<\/p>\n

Before settlement, the contracts traded normally until 04:00 UTC, when BitMEX fixed the final funding rate, known as F0, using prices from the preceding eight hours. It then stopped calculating new funding and set the next funding rate to zero. The checkpoint established the funding input for settlement but did not end trading; that occurred at 12:00 UTC.<\/p>\n

What settlement changed<\/h2>\n

The affected contracts expired, trading ended, and open orders were canceled. BitMEX exchanged funding based on F0 before closing remaining positions at the listed settlement prices. The exchange charged no settlement fee, added each contract’s lifetime profit or loss to the user’s Bitcoin or Tether balance, and removed the contracts from the Positions section.<\/p>\n

The settlements were one step in a wider wind-down. BitMEX’s July 23 closure notice says new registrations stopped immediately. From 04:00 UTC on Aug. 26, users will only be able to reduce positions, and the venue may force-close positions before exchange services end at 04:00 UTC on Sept. 23. Any position remaining at closure will be force-closed, although users will retain account access to view balances and withdraw funds.<\/p>\n
