Users of BitMEX faced interruptions across all GET endpoints of the API earlier today, as reported by the BitMEX Blog.
Earlier today, BitMEX users encountered delays on every GET endpoint of the platform’s API. The BitMEX Blog stated that these disruptions lasted from 06:40 UTC to 07:00 UTC, which could adversely affect traders who depend on timely information for their operations.
Impact on Trading
The slowdown in GET endpoints may have profound effects on traders needing real-time information to make sound decisions. Delays in data retrieval can cause missed opportunities or even financial losses, particularly in a competitive trading atmosphere.
Company Response
At this time, BitMEX has not provided a comprehensive explanation regarding the source of the delays. However, the company underscores its dedication to quickly addressing such issues to maintain the dependability of its services. Users are encouraged to remain alert for additional updates.
Access Restrictions
It’s important to note that individuals or entities based in restricted regions, including the United States, are barred from trading or holding positions on BitMEX. Per the company’s Restricted Jurisdiction Policy, any user discovered to have given false information about their location or citizenship may face account closure and position liquidation.
