BingX is a real exchange with real scale, more than 10 million users by its own count, and a regulatory footprint that is thinner than its marketing suggests. BingX Global Pty Ltd is registered with AUSTRAC in Australia as a digital currency exchange, and BINGX EU UAB is registered with Lithuania's FCIS as a virtual asset service provider. Both are anti-money-laundering registrations that require KYC and reporting; neither is a market-conduct license, and neither is MiCA authorization. BingX holds no U.S. license and nothing from a tier-one Western regulator.
The security record is one incident, handled well. On September 20, 2024 about $43 million was drained from BingX hot wallets across several chains, in two waves a few hours apart, in an attack attributed to the Lazarus Group. BingX froze withdrawals for about a day, moved assets to cold storage, and refunded users in full. The reviews since then are about control rather than theft: accounts frozen after withdrawals or after trading turned profitable, and P2P disputes that ran for months.
For a U.S. customer the answer is that BingX is a legitimate, lightly regulated exchange with one covered hack that will not take you. Anytime Capital is a U.S. money services business with a branch you can walk into, a phone line, and more than 8,000 completed trades.
