Insiders say that the sale negotiations of BitMEX were hindered by issues regarding control rights of the founder, declining business, and reputation problems, and ultimately, the operation was ceased in July.

知情人士称,在宣布停运前,BitMEX曾用约两年时间寻求出售,并接触了多家潜在买家,其中包括支付平台 Exodus 和部分同行交易所。但这笔交易最终没有落地,BitMEX随后在 7 月决定逐步关闭业务。

创始人持股与业务下滑拖慢交易

消息人士表示,潜在买家主要顾虑集中在三点:创始人仍掌握公司大部分股权、平台业务持续收缩,以及多年累积的声誉压力。

尽管 Arthur Hayes、Ben Delo 和 Samuel Reed 在 2020 年美国刑事指控后已逐步淡出日常经营,但部分买家仍对三人保有多数控制权感到谨慎。这也让并购谈判更复杂,因为收购方通常希望将部分对价留给后续管理团队,以保证交割后业务稳定。

该人士还称,BitMEX在出售过程中寻求的估值约为 10 亿美元,但不清楚是否曾收到正式报价。随着业务规模下滑,这一估值也更难获得买方支持。

曾是永续合约先行者

BitMEX曾是加密衍生品市场最有影响力的平台之一。2016 年,平台推出 XBTUSD 永续合约,较早将无到期日、依靠资金费率锚定现货价格的交易模式带入市场。

此后,永续合约迅速成为行业主流产品,如今已占据多数加密衍生品交易量,Binance、Bybit 和 Hyperliquid 等平台均以此为核心业务之一。

7月已宣布停运安排

BitMEX母公司 HDR Global Trading 于 7 月 24 日完成战略评估后,决定逐步关闭平台业务,并已停止新账户注册。按计划,平台将在 9 月 23 日正式关闭。

这次出售失败,与今年加密行业并购回暖形成反差。随着机构兴趣回升、监管环境较前期缓和,交易、托管和基础设施资产的收购活动有所增加。但 BitMEX进入出售流程时,面临的是市场份额下滑、历史法律包袱仍在,以及不利于交易推进的股权结构。

据 Architect Partners 数据,2026 年以来数字资产行业已宣布 144 笔并购,交易总额约 118 亿美元,较上年同期增长 3.5%。

补充信息:BitMEX目前还面临一项诉讼。起诉方指控平台扣留交易者抵押品,并涉及内幕交易行为;诉状还称,部分超额比特币被转入 BitMEX 保险基金。
