Since the strategic migration of the data center to AWS Tokyo, the liquidity of BitMEX's nine derivatives contracts has increased by over 185%. This move has effectively optimized order matching and market data latency, attracting more active market makers to participate. Seychelles, Mahe Island, September 25, 2025 – As the safest cryptocurrency exchange, BitMEX announced today that its trading engine has successfully migrated to AWS Tokyo, bringing transformative effects. This action has led to an increase in liquidity of over 185% for nine perpetual contracts and significantly accelerated order execution speed for global traders. The migration was executed by the BitMEX engineering team on August 23, 2025, and completed within ten minutes. The exchange resumed online services within one hour, marking a significant technological milestone for the platform, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted transition for users. One month after the migration, platform performance has significantly improved: ● Contract liquidity deepened: The liquidity of XBTUSDT and ETHUSDT perpetual contracts has deepened by 185% and 401% respectively within a 5 basis point range of the midpoint price. This brings traders narrower spreads and lower slippage. ● Optimized emerging trading pairs: The liquidity of new contracts such as HYPE, BCH, and PEPE has also increased by over 2000%, broadening trading opportunities on the platform. BitMEX is known as the 'Home of OG Bitcoin Perpetual Contracts' and now extends its reputation to a broader range of perpetual contracts, proving itself to be an important venue for token trading beyond Bitcoin. ● Faster, more reliable execution: End-to-end order matching latency and order book latency have both improved to support more active market makers, resulting in higher liquidity in the order book than ever before. BitMEX CEO Stephan Lutz stated: "The seamless execution of this migration is a technological milestone and a strategic leap in our commitment to providing an institutional-grade trading experience, while offering retail investors better execution quality and innovative products. The immediate improvements in latency and liquidity directly provide all users with a more competitive and robust trading environment. Our work is not done; we are continuously striving on this successful foundation to deliver even better performance in the coming months." The migration of BitMEX to AWS Tokyo is just the beginning of a grand roadmap for continuously optimizing platform performance. In the coming months, BitMEX expects to further enhance liquidity and latency through fine-tuning internal processes and introducing more infrastructure improvement measures.
