 <p>In a blog announcement on Oct. 30, the Seychelles-based crypto trading platform said it will change its current format for BTC addresses to pay-to-witness-public-key-hash (P2WPKH, also known as native SegWit), suggesting all customer addresses will soon get addresses with the bc1 prefix.</p>
 <p>BitMEX says the change will allow it to “reduce withdrawal fees” for users and “improve our use of Bitcoin block space.” The company also noted the signature scheme “is already being used for our hot withdrawals processing,” meaning the update “will not bring a big change” to its wallet security.</p>

 <p>The change of deposit addresses is nothing new for exchanges as they do that to keep up with the latest updates. Binance, for instance, also disabled multiple old deposit addresses for multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum (ETH) and TRON (TRX), in April 2023 as part of its infrastructure upgrade.</p>
