BitMart Winds Down Trading as Exchange Closures Pile Up
BitMEX has announced it will wind down its crypto trading platform, adding to a growing list of exchange closures in the industry.
BitMEX, the cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, announced on July 23, 2026 that it will shut down its trading platform. The move adds to a growing list of crypto exchange closures in recent months.
