Mahe, Seychelles — BitMEX has launched a major upgrade to its user experience: a native fiat-to-crypto on-ramp powered by Mercuryo, the global payment infrastructure provider trusted by MetaMask, Ledger, Trust Wallet, PancakeSwap, 1inch, and other leading Web3 platforms.
The integration allows BitMEX users around the world to buy cryptocurrency directly on the exchange using more than 30 fiat currencies and familiar payment methods such as credit cards, bank transfers, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Funds are credited in minutes, giving traders immediate access to markets without relying on external conversion services.

A Frictionless Entry Point for New and Experienced Users
For years, BitMEX has been known as the OG crypto derivatives exchange: low-latency performance, deep liquidity, and a flawless security record with zero customer crypto ever lost to intrusion or hacking. But onboarding traditionally required users to convert fiat off-platform before moving assets into BitMEX.
With Mercuryo now embedded directly into the trading flow, that extra step is gone.
Users can purchase BTC, ETH, SOL, and other spot and futures-supported assets straight from their preferred payment method. Once completed, the crypto appears instantly in the user’s BitMEX wallet, ready for trading.
The integration of Mercuryo’s on-ramps on the BitMEX platform provides our users with a robust and intuitive means of converting fiat into the cryptocurrency of their choice. The user experience is everything in crypto, and Mercuryo has a proven track record of delivering an excellent on-ramp experience.

Its gateway already powers some of the largest wallets and protocols in the industry, helping millions of users convert fiat into digital assets seamlessly.
For BitMEX, the partnership is a strategic layer in strengthening its global trading experience.

Faster fiat-to-crypto conversions
A streamlined onboarding funnel for new users

Reinforcing BitMEX’s Position as a Professional-Grade Exchange
BitMEX has long differentiated itself through reliability and transparency. It was among the first exchanges to publish on-chain Proof of Reserves and Proof of Liabilities, a practice it maintains twice weekly — ensuring customer funds are safely stored and fully accounted for.
Combined with its ultra-fast engine, deep crypto-native liquidity, and legacy as one of the earliest derivatives platforms, BitMEX continues to serve a trader base that values speed and security above all else. The addition of Mercuryo’s on-ramp now brings seamless usability into that mix.
