BitMEX in its official blog on August 29 announced Shiba Inu perpetual listings in USD and USDT pairs. Users will enjoy up to 33x leverage on SHIBUSD and SHIBUSDT, which it claims to be the highest in the industry.

Users can have 33x leverage on the SHIBUSD Quanto Contract and 20x leverage on the SHIBUSDT Linear Contract. The listing will be available from August 30.

In addition, BitMEX also announced BONE perpetual listings in USD and USDT pairs. Both BONEUSD and BONEUSDT will have up to 5x leverage. It will allow users to trade Shibarium’s gas token BONE in high numbers, causing price to pick upside momentum.
