BitMEX announced that Russian citizens or residents will no longer be able to access the services offered by the platform from the European Union after July 11, 2022, meaning that such users will not be able to log in to their account or access any services from the European Union.
The information shared specifies that the measure targets all types of traders, including persons operating on behalf of any legal entity, while accessing BitMEX from the EU, as well as legal entities established in Russia, whose traders access the services from the EU.
