Message from Alexander Höptner, CEO of 100x Group
The story of BitMEX mirrors the evolution of cryptocurrency itself—beginning with optimism and vision, experiencing explosive growth, overcoming challenges, and ultimately becoming an integral part of our daily lives.
Founded in 2014, BitMEX pioneered professional-grade derivatives in the purely digital realm of cryptocurrency. Within a few years, we achieved remarkable success. However, the crypto landscape has evolved rapidly, and now is the time for BitMEX to embark on a strategic transformation.
I joined the company last year with a clear mission: to lead our transition from a crypto derivatives exchange into a broader, more versatile entity.
Today marks the beginning of this journey. Every transformation starts with an ambitious goal. Ours is to become one of the world's largest regulated crypto derivatives exchanges and a powerful catalyst for change in the financial services industry.
Our Expansion Strategy
To achieve this, we will expand our services globally across six key business units:
- Derivatives
We are enhancing our derivatives offerings, which remain the core of our business. - Spot Trading
BitMEX will launch comprehensive spot trading services worldwide, enabling users to buy and sell crypto assets seamlessly. - Brokerage
We will establish a licensed brokerage firm to provide end-to-end order execution, agency, and OTC services. - Custody Solutions
Leveraging our industry-leading security expertise, we plan to introduce a fully licensed proprietary custody solution for client assets. - Information Products
As crypto trading grows more complex, we will create scalable and reliable information products to serve the crypto community. - Academy
To educate our clients and the broader industry, we will launch BitMEX Academy, offering tailored educational content for everyone from beginners to advanced traders.
Licensing and Global Reach
In the coming months and years, BitMEX will aggressively expand its services while securing additional licenses in respected jurisdictions. This will ensure compliance and trust as we scale.
Our Team and Culture
This transformation demands creativity, resourcefulness, and time. At BitMEX, innovation is in our DNA. To support this journey, we are actively hiring talent across all departments.
