The product rewards users who subscribe their funds for a set period with an interest payout, ranging from 14 - 100% APR. Furthermore, BitMEX EARN is the only product of its type in the market that is 100% insurance fund backed. All payouts are guaranteed by the BitMEX insurance fund - one of the largest funds in the industry.
The first cryptocurrency available on BitMEX EARN is Tether (USDT ERC-20). BitMEX customers who subscribe to the product before 7 December 2021 can subscribe to an early bird offer to earn up to a 100% APR on Tether for deposits up to USDT 1,000 per user and up to 14% APR for deposits up to USDT 100,000 per user. More details on BitMEX EARN can be found here.
Alexander Höptner, Chief Executive Officer at BitMEX, said: “BitMEX EARN allows anyone to easily generate a double-digit return - much higher than the rates you'll get with TradFi products. Our EARN products' APR far outpaces what's offered on other crypto platforms, whose headline rates on similar products are usually tied to unattainable staking requirements. We've also streamlined our subscription process, making this a product that appeals to all kinds of traders - not just the pros.”
BitMEX EARN is part of its ambitious business transformation, known as its 'Beyond Derivatives' strategy. BitMEX is adding five new global business segments (Spot, Brokerage, Custody, Information Products, and Academy) after having launched a rigorous user verification and compliance programme in 2020. In January 2021, BitMEX announced the completion of its user verification programme, which made BitMEX one of the largest crypto derivatives exchanges to have a fully verified active user base. BitMEX EARN follows the company’s introduction of USDT for margin and settlement on perpetual swaps in November 2021.
BitMEX EARN launches on 1 December 2021, with subscriptions open for the first two products until 7 December 2021 (or until fully subscribed). To subscribe or learn more, visit the BitMEX EARN webpage.

Seiden Law LLP issues statement: Prosecuted by Press Conference: Declared Guilty Without a Charge, Yim Leak Family Asks UN Human Rights Experts to Hold Thailand to Its Own Treaty Commitments8.10.2026 19:26:00 EEST | Press release
Seiden Law LLP, chief global counsel to Cambodian businessman Yim Leak, announced today that Jared Genser, international counsel to Mr. Yim and his wife, has asked two UN Special Rapporteurs to send an urgent appeal to the Thai government.

Six Official Statements in Nine Months. No Charge Filed in Any Court. Between December 2025 and September 2026, Thai officials described Mr. Yim as the center of a criminal network on six occasions: at two press conferences chaired by the head of the Thai government, in the House of Representatives, and in three government press releases. The head of the Thai government said the network had been “found to have committed” offenses. Asked about the suspects’ lawy
