The exchange plans to boost BTC deposits with Bitcoin Core ZeroMQ notifications (often within a minute of the block confirmation).
"This update allows us to track native SegWit deposit addresses, which we hope to bring to users in the coming months. SegWit should result in considerable block weight savings (potentially up to 65%)," BitMEX states.
The upgrade allows the exchange to run independently deposit and withdrawal stack under automated end-to-end unit and acceptance tests. In November 2020, BitMEX signed a partnership agreement with Eventus Systems to support its trade surveillance and anti-money laundering (AML) policy.
With the partnership, the exchange can now more screen out fraud schemes and increase "proactive monitoring for unauthorized trading activity."
