BitMEX Owner Partners With Trading Technologies to Expand Crypto Trading Base and Tools

Published at: April 17, 2019

United States-based professional trading infrastructure firm Trading Technologies International (TT) has partnered with the parent company of cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform BitMEX to open up its products to crypto derivatives traders. TT announced the news in a press release on April 17.

As the press release notes, the partnership is between TT and the owner of BitMEX, HDR Global Trading. TT, which offers various market access tools and services, will now offer its market tools to BitMEX traders through its TT platform.

Similarly, TT traders will be able to trade on BitMEX and will now gain access to its crypto products, which include the bitcoin (BTC)-based XBTUSD Perpetual Swap.

“We expect this partnership will grow trading volume on BitMEX, not only through our existing clients who want access to cryptocurrencies, but also through new users keen to leverage professional trading software and enjoy better trading experiences,” Rick Lane, chairman and CEO of TT, commented in the press release.

“This partnership will not only extend BitMEX’s unique services to Trading Technologies’ discerning clients, but advance our mutual vision to unlock access to cutting-edge cryptocurrency products,”  BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes was quoted as saying in the press release.

The partnership comes on the back of impressive performance for BitMEX, now the second largest crypto trading platform by reported volume in the world.

Despite occasional technical difficulties surrounding sudden bitcoin price moves, the company has seen sustained demand and continues to expand its feature set. This week, Hayes also revealed plans to launch an options exchange within the next 18 months.

Ever buoyant on the future of bitcoin, last month, Hayes added that he foresaw BTC/USD climbing to $10,000 once more by the end of 2019.

Arthur Hayes on Financial Privacy and the Possibility of BTC Hard Fork
At the Tangle in Taipei on July 3, American economist and crypto sceptic Nouriel Roubini (aka “Dr. Doom”) and BitMEX CEO and co-founder Arthur Hayes didn’t agree on anything except that “Facebook’s Libra is not cryptocurrency.” One of the reasons on that is, while Roubini took for granted that the success of Bitcoin should be measured by its transaction speed only, Hayes argued that there was a different measurement. Roubini continued to criticize Bitcoin based on his assumption and said, as he has often pointed out, “this conference is not even accepting Bitcoin.” But for Hayes, that is not the …

BTC Miners: No More Basement Rigs, Greater Profits to Come
Back in the early days, when Bitcoin (BTC) was but a niche experiment for cypherpunks and basement-dwelling hobbyists, the process of its creation required little more than a budget CPU. Since that time, however, an entire industry has sprung forth and a quasi-gold rush rivaling that of the 1850s has taken the world by storm. As a direct result of both the increasing difficulty of Bitcoin mining and the decreasing profitability of mining solo, the current mining industry has become dominated by huge conglomerates. Ostensibly known as Bitcoin’s industrial revolution, the rise of mining collaborations changed the game for everyone. …

Hong Kong could be key for China’s crypto comeback: Arthur Hayes
Arthur Hayes, the former CEO of crypto derivatives giant BitMEX, believes the next crypto bull run will start when China moves back into the market, and Hong Kong has a vital part to play in this process. In his Oct. 26 blog post titled "Comeback", Hayes outlined why he thinks the Hong Kong government's announcement about introducing a bill to regulate crypto is a sign China is trying to ease its way back into the market. This could be because Hong Kong acts as “the proxy through which China interacts with the world." “When China loves crypto, the bull market …

Bitcoin’s bear market is far from over, but data points to improving investor sentiment
2022 was a near-unprecedented year of extremes and black swan events for the crypto market, and now that the year is about to wrap up, analysts are reflecting on the lessons learned and attempting to identify the trends which may point to bullish price action in 2023. The collapse of Terra Luna, Three Arrows Capital and FTX created a credit crunch, a severe reduction in capital inflows and an increased threat that additional major centralized exchanges could collapse. Despite the severity of the market downturn, a few positives have emerged. Data shows long-term hodlers and smaller-sized wallets are actively accumulating …
