BKEX

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BKEX was a cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2018 with headquarters in the British Virgin Islands.[1] The platform offered various services including spot trading, derivatives, leveraged tokens, and staking. BKEX claimed to support over 1,200 crypto assets with over 8 million users from more than 100 countries.

Suspension of operations

[edit]

On May 29, 2023, BKEX suspended all withdrawals, citing cooperation with a police investigation into alleged money laundering involving user funds.[2]

Following the withdrawal suspension, BKEX's social channels went inactive and its website went offline. As of January 2025, BKEX has not resumed operations.
