We believe the new listing, coupled with the 15,000 RLUSD reward pool, will be met with great enthusiasm by our community.”

The integration of RLUSD on BitMEX Spot provides users with a seamless and efficient way to access and trade Ripple USD, a stablecoin offering a blend of stability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. By being the first to offer RLUSD as margin, BitMEX empowers derivatives traders with unique flexibility and choice in managing their positions and collateral.

MAHE, Seychelles, April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, the OG crypto derivatives exchange, today shared a comprehensive analysis of perpetual swap listings across major centralised exchanges, shedding light on the behaviour of newly listed perpetual swap contracts – and whether they see their price peak on the first day of listing. The study, which compares  listings on BitMEX, Binance, Bybit, and OKX from the beginning of 2025 to March 2025, highlights significant exchange–specific variations in price performance.

Key findings from the the study include:

• BitMEX Outperformance: BitMEX emerged as a standout exchange with the highest number of perpetual swap listings, with an average gain of 62.55% among listings that appreciated after the first day. Notably, 58.33% of its listings continued to appreciate post–listing day.
• Exchange Variability: The data shows that only 41.67% of BitMEX listings reached their all–time high (ATH) on the first day, contrasting with 70.83% on OKX and 50% on Binance. This indicates that the “first day peak” theory is not universally applicable across exchanges.
• Price Peak Timing: Most tokens that appreciate post–listing reach their maximum price within the first week, with BitMEX listings taking a median of six days to peak.

“Our analysis highlights BitMEX's unique ability to identify and support promising token projects, offering traders a platform where they can capitalise on sustained price appreciation. This is a testament to our rigorous listing process and market structure, which we believe provides a competitive edge for both traders and listed assets,” said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX.

The study underscores the importance of exchange–specific dynamics in helping traders profit from trading perpetual swap listings. By leveraging these insights, traders can develop more effective strategies for navigating the evolving landscape of new perpetual swap listings. With its superior listing performance and sustained price appreciation, BitMEX remains a preferred platform for both traders and projects seeking to maximise their potential in the cryptocurrency derivatives market.

MAHE, Seychelles, March 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitMEX, the OG crypto derivatives exchange, has announced major updates for its Multi Asset Margining users, including a 60% reduction in haircuts and the addition of SOL (Solana) as a margin currency. This upgrade allows users on BitMEX to experience one of the lowest haircut rates in the crypto industry, and trade any derivatives contract on the platform with SOL as collateral.

BitMEX previously launched its Multi Asset Margining feature in January, to offer users better simplicity and capital efficiency when trading derivatives contracts. With the recent update, BitMEX now supports USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, and SOL as collateral, with one of the lowest haircut rates available in the market.

Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX, commented, “At BitMEX, we are committed to constantly improving our platform to enhance the trading experience for our users. Building on the launch of Multi Asset Margining earlier this year, we’re taking it a step further by significantly reducing haircuts and expanding our collateral options with SOL. This update is part of our ongoing efforts to provide greater capital efficiency and flexibility, empowering traders with more optimised trading solutions.”

Unlike the requirements set on most exchanges, BitMEX ensures a frictionless trading experience—users can deposit their preferred currency and start trading immediately without needing to shuffle funds between wallets. BitMEX’s Multi Asset Margining system automatically allocates a user’s funds to meet the margin requirements of their positions in the most efficient way possible.

To get started with Multi Asset Margining, users need to switch their account’s margin mode to ‘Multi Asset Margining’ on the order form of the trading page. For more detailed instructions on how to enable Multi Asset Margining on BitMEX, visit here.
