How does the Travel Rule affect my withdrawals from BitMEX?

16 October 2025 13:25

During the withdrawal process on BitMEX, you will be asked to provide the destination wallet address as well as additional information relating to travel rule. Specifically,

If withdrawing to your own account:

Wallet type (Exchange/Platform or Self-custody)
Name of Receiving Exchange (if applicable)

If withdrawing to a third-party beneficiary:

Full legal name of the beneficiary
Wallet type (Exchange/Platform or Self-custody)
Name of Receiving Exchange (if applicable)

BitMEX will attempt to automatically detect the wallet type. If we are unable to, you will be prompted to provide the details.

If the wallet is detected erroneously, you are allowed to edit manually.
(Note: Incorrectly identifying the wallet type may result in unsuccessful withdrawal attempts)
