Market conditions and competitive environment
The launch of these perpetual swaps comes amid increasing competition among exchanges to offer innovative financial products tailored to the diverse trading community. Perpetual swaps are particularly popular in the cryptocurrency market because they offer greater flexibility than traditional futures contracts because they have no expiration date, allowing traders to hold positions indefinitely.
BitMEX’s move to add these new pairs is a strategic step to maintain its position in the competitive cryptocurrency derivatives market, which has seen significant growth and interest from both institutional and retail investors.
