On Wednesday 5 April, we achieved a new milestone with the listing of BMEX Tokens on Gate.io – the first exchange outside of BitMEX, to list our token.
From 05:00 UTC, Gate.io traders can buy and sell BMEX – via a BMEX/USDT spot pair – on their Spot Exchange.
BitMEX users will continue to be able to trade BMEX either via BitMEX Spot and BitMEX Convert. As well as going long or short on BMEX – via our BMEXUSD and BMEXUSDT listings – and with up to 50x leverage.
The listing of BMEX on Gate.io aligns with our ongoing focus to grow and enhance the utility ecosystem for BMEX holders, with more listings on other exchanges to come soon.
