Crypto derivatives exchange BitMEX, once the dominant player in the futures market, has lost its number one position in recent months.
Two major events - the March 2020 market sell-off and the twin lawsuits filed against BitMEX by the U.S. government last October- appear to have impacted the exchange.
BitMEX's market share, in terms of open interest on bitcoin futures, declined 13% in 2020. Its bitcoin balance has undergone a significant reduction, declining by more than 62% since March of last year.
