STEPN has taken the GameFi space by storm, and its governance token – the Green Metaverse Token (GMT) – has arrived at BitMEX.
Users will now be able to trade our new XBT and USDT-margined GMT perpetual contracts, with up to 33x leverage.
The GMTUSD and GMTUSDT listings went live on 11 April 2022 at 04:00 UTC.
GMTUSD Quanto Contract Specs
As with all quanto contracts, the GMTUSD product has a fixed Bitcoin multiplier, regardless of the USD/GMT price. This allows traders to long or short the GMT/USD exchange rate without ever touching GMT or USD.
Traders post margin in XBT, and earn or lose XBT as the GMT/USD rate changes. This quanto risk premium may be one of the factors that results in the GMTUSD swap trading at a premium/discount to the GMTUSDT spot price. For an explanation of the same concept for ETHUSD, check out this blog post.
