Case summary
What happened
BitMEX announced EARN on 2021-11-30 as a fixed-term interest-bearing product. Later first-party notices expanded the product set. Historical marketing described EARN as backed by the BitMEX insurance fund, but CYA preserves that only as an operator claim and does not treat it as independent proof of solvency, segregation, enforceability or guaranteed repayment.
