Who is Weex for?

Weex suits experienced traders who mainly trade futures and can handle high leverage. Weex is not supervised under MiCA in the EU, and we could not verify the advertised protection fund. High leverage magnifies losses as much as gains.

What is the maximum leverage at Weex?

Weex offers up to 400x leverage on some futures, per a Weex notice from March 2026 for example on gold and silver. Leverage drops with position size and differs per contract. We recommend beginners start with low leverage (5–10x) and use risk management.

Is Weex available in Germany?

Weex has no MiCA authorization and is not listed in the ESMA register (as of 17 Oct 2026). Since the MiCA transition period ended on 1 July 2026, crypto service providers need an authorization to serve EU customers. Whether Weex may legally serve customers in Germany is therefore questionable. The interface is in English, and there is no direct SEPA deposit.
