Risk Notice Read carefully

Disclaimer & Risk

This site is editorial commentary. It is not financial advice, it is not a solicitation, and it is not regulated by the FCA or any other authority. Trading crypto can wipe out your capital — read the points below carefully before acting on anything you see here.

High-risk warning

Cryptocurrency markets are volatile. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. On derivatives, a position can be fully liquidated before any manual exit is possible. You should be prepared to lose the entire amount you commit.

1. Not investment advice

All content is general editorial commentary based on public information and our own analysis. It does not take into account your personal financial situation, your objectives or your tax position. Nothing here should be construed as a personal recommendation to open an account, deposit funds, buy any asset or use any product.

2. We are not regulated

is-bitmex-legit.com is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority or by any other regulator to provide investment, broking or advisory services. We publish editorial content. If you require regulated financial advice, consult an FCA-authorised adviser.

3. Capital risk

  • Crypto prices can move sharply within hours. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
  • Leverage magnifies losses as well as gains. A small adverse move can trigger liquidation of the full position.
  • Stablecoins are not risk-free. A loss of peg, an issuer event or a redemption suspension can affect their value.
  • Self-custody, exchange custody and on-chain risk are all distinct. Each has failure modes worth understanding before committing funds.

4. Jurisdictional availability

Product availability on BitMEX and on every other venue referenced here depends on your local rules. A product described on this site may not be available in your jurisdiction, may be restricted, or may require additional verification steps before access. The responsibility for complying with local law is yours.

5. Tax

Crypto activity can have tax consequences. In the UK, HMRC treats most retail crypto activity as subject to capital gains tax, with income-tax treatment in some scenarios. Tax outcomes depend on your individual circumstances and on changes to law. Consult a qualified tax adviser.

6. Accuracy of figures

Fee schedules, custody arrangements and product surfaces change. We update the site when we notice a change and we link inline to live sources so a reader can verify the current number. However, a figure on the site may be out of date at any moment. Always check the venue's own page before acting on it.

7. No endorsement

Our editorial verdict that a venue is "credible" reflects an analysis of structural factors at the time of writing. It is not an endorsement, a guarantee, or a prediction of future performance. Past operating record without a breach does not preclude one in future. Any custody architecture can fail.

8. Your responsibility

You are responsible for the consequences of your own trading and investment decisions. If you do not understand a product, do not trade it. If you cannot afford to lose the amount you are committing, do not commit it.
