  The decision to exclude users from the United States is primarily driven by regulatory considerations. Different countries have different regulations and laws regarding cryptocurrency trading, and BitMEX has chosen to prioritize compliance with these regulations. By restricting access to users from the United States, BitMEX can focus on providing a secure and compliant trading environment for its users in other countries.

  BitMEX, like many other cryptocurrency exchanges, has chosen to exclude users from the United States due to the complex regulatory landscape in the country. The United States has strict regulations and licensing requirements for cryptocurrency exchanges, and complying with these regulations can be a time-consuming and costly process. By avoiding the US market, BitMEX can allocate its resources more efficiently and focus on serving users in other regions.
