BitMEX to Go Dark for Scheduled Maintenance—Traders Brace for June 14 Pause
Mark your calendars—BitMEX is hitting pause on June 14 for critical system upgrades. No surprises here—just another day in crypto where 'decentralized' platforms still need old-school downtime.
Pro traders, take note: The 14th might be a good day to 'accidentally' forget your leverage addiction. After all, what’s a little forced HODLing between degens?
BitMEX, a leading cryptocurrency trading platform, has announced a scheduled system maintenance set to occur on June 14, 2025. The maintenance, according to BitMEX, will take place from 02:00 to 07:00 UTC, during which the platform will be temporarily unavailable.
Impact on Trading and Services
The maintenance will result in a suspension of all trading activities on the BitMEX platform. Users will experience downtime on the BitMEX website, mobile app, trading APIs, and WebSocket services. This planned outage is crucial for ensuring the platform's optimal performance and security.
Post-Maintenance Procedures
Upon completion of the maintenance, BitMEX will resume operations in a cancel-only mode. This means that users will be able to cancel orders but not place new ones until full trading functionalities are restored. Additionally, any deposits made during the maintenance window will be processed and credited once the system is back online.
Resumption and Updates
BitMEX has indicated that maintenance might conclude earlier than anticipated, allowing trading to resume ahead of schedule. The platform has committed to providing updates at least 15 minutes before trading recommences. Users are advised to monitor the BitMEX site announcements for timely information.
This planned maintenance underscores BitMEX's commitment to maintaining a secure and efficient trading environment, a critical aspect for traders relying on the platform for cryptocurrency transactions.
