Crypto Exchange BitMEX Under Investigation by CFTCJuly 19 – One of the world’s most popular crypto futures and derivatives exchanges, BitMEX, is reportedly under investigation by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The trading platform is well known for its ability to offer its clients up to 100-times leverage on their crypto futures and derivatives pairings. The regulator is concerned that US investors, despite being barred from accessing the platform, can still access the trading platform using a “VPN”, which masks the client’s IP address and provides a different geographic location for the user. It is important to note that VPN services are not directly provided by BitMEX, and clients based in the US are using third-party software to bypass geographic restrictions. The CFTC has not released any additional details relating to the investigation. Read the full article from Bloomberg here. |
