BitMEX Lifts Withdrawal Restrictions for Some Restricted Regions, Users in the U.S. and Elsewhere Can Apply to Withdraw Funds After Completing KYC

BlockBeats news, September 25: BitMEX updated its restricted jurisdictions policy, stating that the platform ceased operations on September 23. To facilitate fund withdrawals for eligible customers, BitMEX has lifted regional restrictions for the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Bermuda, Seychelles, and Myanmar, but the adjustments apply only to completing KYC and withdrawals, and do not represent a resumption of trading services.

Customers who were previously unable to access their accounts due to location restrictions can now log in directly, complete KYC, and submit withdrawal requests. Restrictions remain in effect for sanctioned regions such as Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Crimea, and related withdrawals must also undergo compliance monitoring.

Iranian citizens residing outside Iran and not listed on OFAC, United Nations, or European Union sanctions lists may submit proof of overseas residence and apply for withdrawals; Russian citizens residing in the European Union or Switzerland may also apply to withdraw funds after providing proof of address within the past 3 months.
