BitMEX Study Reveals Superior Performance of Perpetual Swap Listings, with an Average Price Gain of 62.55%, Outperforming Competitors

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.

Technology

Unipart defines four fundamental technologies transforming supply chains: automation, data science and artificial intelligence, internet of things and sensors, and digital twins. These technologies underpin Unipart’s approach to supply chain management, ensuring resilience and efficiency.

Unipart has been proactive in deploying cutting–edge digital solutions, securing five Innovate UK collaborative research and development projects in 2024. The company has partnered with universities, catapult centres, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and industry experts to develop customised technological solutions for customers. In the automotive sector, Unipart participated in an £11m UK government–funded project to industrialise inverter and converter manufacturing, aiming to build local capability and reduce carbon emissions, and ultimately support the competitiveness of the UK electric vehicle supply chain.

One major area of focus is remote condition monitoring (RCM). Unipart, through its subsidiary Instrumentel, has worked with Porterbrook to integrate RCM technology into rolling stock. This has led to increased vehicle reliability, reduced maintenance time, and improved real–time asset tracking. Unipart’s Eco Insight product uses RCM to help businesses optimise and reduce  energy use and carbon output.

Unipart has developed digital solutions for the rail industry, including Vision Insight, a thermal optical camera system with AI algorithms that detects faults on moving trains. The company designed a digital token block controller for Network Rail, enhancing safety and efficiency in rail operations. In addition, Unipart’s level crossing solution in collaboration with AtkinsRéalis and Newgate, LX PLUS, reduces installation time by over 20%, improving operational efficiency.

Safety & Sustainability

The Unipart Way continues to drive a unique company culture, which at its heart adds the most value for stakeholders. This approach embeds environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into Unipart’s core strategy, ensuring long–term sustainability, resilience, and value creation for stakeholders.

Unipart remains committed to achieving carbon net zero by 2040, reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and sustainable supply chain practices. Unipart’s commitment to its ambitious net–zero 2040 target saw a 16.7% reduction in carbon intensity ratio in 2024. The company aims for a 90% reduction in Scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and a 90% reduction across all three Scopes by 2040, a target validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.

Unipart has implemented Eco Insight, a digital platform that monitors energy consumption and carbon output, enabling businesses to optimise their environmental impact. Unipart also focuses on waste reduction, circular economy solutions, and sustainable procurement. The company ensures 97% of its UK sites use 100% renewable electricity, with a 31% reduction in gas consumption since 2021. Its efforts have earned the British Safety Council’s Globe of Honour for sustainability for 12 consecutive years.

Unipart prioritises employee engagement, wellbeing, and safety. It maintains an industry–leading mental health support program, with more than 250 trained mental health first–aiders and company–wide mental health awareness training. The British Safety Council awarded Unipart the Shield of Honour following a five–star wellbeing audit in 2024.

Unipart maintained its ISO 45001 accreditation across logistics, rail, and manufacturing, with its transport operations achieving Silver in the Fleet Operator Scheme. The company earned four RoSPA Gold Medals and added more British Safety Council Sword of Honour awards with world–class health and safety audit scores.

The company fosters an inclusive workplace, ensuring equal opportunities and actively addressing unconscious bias in recruitment. Unipart engages in community outreach and through its annual Big Charity Challenge raised more than £56k for local charities in 2024, the highest–ever total.
