Woofun AI reports that BitMEX has experienced a significant leadership change with the resignation of CEO Stephan Lutz, CFO Ina Steiner, and Chief Growth Officer Raphael Polansky. Peter Wilkinson, formerly the Global Head of Legal and COO, has been appointed as the new CEO effective immediately. The departures occur while the Seychelles-based exchange explores strategic options, including a full sale, amidst an increasingly competitive landscape against rivals like Binance, Bybit, and OKX. Wilkinson’s appointment aims to provide continuity during this period of corporate restructuring and potential transaction negotiations.
