Crypto Derivatives Carry Significant Risk
Trading cryptocurrency derivatives — including perpetual swaps and futures — involves substantial risk of loss. Derivatives are leveraged instruments: a relatively small adverse price movement can result in losses significantly greater than your initial deposit. At 100x leverage, a 1% move against your position results in total liquidation of the assigned margin.
BitMEX Is Not Regulated by the FCA
BitMEX (HDR Global Trading Limited) is not authorised or regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It is not registered on the FCA Financial Services Register.
The FSCS Does Not Apply
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) does not cover funds held at BitMEX. If the exchange becomes insolvent or is unable to return client funds, there is no UK government-backed compensation scheme to recover your money.
No FCA Consumer Protections Apply
UK retail protections that apply to FCA-regulated derivatives platforms — including leverage caps and negative balance protection — do not apply when trading on BitMEX.
Past Performance Is Not Indicative of Future Results
BitMEX’s 11-year operational track record does not guarantee future performance, security or solvency.
