Title: BitMex Question regarding the Seychelles Post by: jryan54 on May 09, 2016, 01:13:11 AM Hi Everyone!
I'm looking at doing some trading on the BitMex Derivatives platform and have a couple of questions about the Seychelles where they are incorporated. Firstly, are they licensed in the Seychelles to broker/exchange Derivatives and Bitcoin? Or does the Seychelles FSA not regulate that activity? Secondly, Does anyone know if the Seychelles government are actually looking at regulating bitcoin exchanges based there? Just trying to get a handle on things before getting involved with them. Cheers! Title: Re: BitMex Question regarding the Seychelles Post by: vit05 on February 21, 2019, 06:41:10 PM Last year the president of the country met with the founders of Bitmex. (http://www.statehouse.gov.sc/news.php?news_id=4233) So it's somehow understood that they not only know about these operations but also offer legal support for them to operate in the country.
The big question about the legal aspects of Bitmex is more related about the American users. (https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/01/15/bitcoin-exchange-bitmex-cuts-american-quebecois-users/) There is pressure for the company to completely block access to the platform by American citizens.
