Prominent cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX has officially updated its index weights as part of its quarterly review for Q3 2024. The change took effect on June 28, 2024 at 04:00 UTC, as announced on the BitMEX blog.
Update Details
The updated index weights are part of BitMEX’s ongoing efforts to ensure that the indices accurately reflect the market. The hypothetical values of the new weighted indices were published in the “NEXT” index series, such as .BXBT_NEXT. This update aims to provide traders with more accurate and up-to-date market data.
Implications for Traders
For traders, the updated index weights mean that the valuation of various assets is now calculated differently, which can impact trading strategies and portfolio valuation. BitMEX encourages users to review the changes and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
