We’ve integrated VerifyVASP for all transactions in line with our commitment to the highest standards of compliance.
What This Means for BitMEX
Importantly, as a member of the VerifyVASP Alliance, we will be able to continue to send and receive virtual assets in a manner that is compliant with the travel rule principles laid down by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

Joining VerifyVASP is an essential step for us to maintain compliance through a progressive and secure solution embraced by many others in the space.”
