It will allow users to trade SHIB tokens, with up to 33x leverage, and BONE in USD and USDT pairs, with up to 5x leverage.

BitMEX Listing Shiba Inu And BONE Perpetual Contracts

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.

“As with all quanto contracts, the SHIBUSD product has a fixed Bitcoin multiplier, regardless of the SHIB/USD price. This allows traders to long or short the SHIB/USD exchange rate without ever touching SHIB or USD.”

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.
