Traders,
During yesterday’s Bitfinex downtime, BitMEX and Kaiko decided to declare a Market Disruption Event (MDE) and remove Bitfinex from the Kaiko index until further notice.
At the time of writing, BItfinex is back up & running and appears stable.
In case of further downtime, we are making the following announcement:
If Bitfinex continues to be stable, we will add it back to the Kaiko BitMEX Index at 12:00 UTC June 22, 2016.
In this case, “stable” is defined as less than 5 minute of recorded downtime from BitMEX and Kaiko servers.
This affects the XBT and LTC series, which is the following products:
- XBTUSD
- XBTM16
- XBTU16
- LTCXBT
We’ll continue to keep an eye on Bitfinex’s stability throughout and will be announcing a new automated policy to handle this downtime in the future.
