Please refer to the disclaimer at the end of the article.) BitMEX announced today the launch of seven FX perpetual contracts, allowing traders to use cryptocurrency as margin to participate in global currency markets 24/7. The new product lineup covers EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CNH, USD/CHF, and USD/CAD. Traders can gain exposure to these major currency pairs without relying on traditional brokers or fiat currency funding. These contracts remain operational around the clock, even during weekends when traditional FX markets are closed. This launch builds on BitMEX's deep expertise in crypto derivatives and marks its further expansion into FX-linked perpetual products. The series is designed to meet the evolving needs of traders through more targeted and scalable solutions. "FX is the world's largest and most liquid market, yet its barrier to entry remains limited by fragmented and time-restricted traditional systems," said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. "With FX perpetual contracts, traders can trade major currency pairs using crypto as margin at any time, eliminating the operational friction of traditional brokerage models. This reflects the broader trend toward an 'always-on, borderless' trading paradigm." FX perpetual contracts allow traders to use cryptocurrency as margin, bypassing the cumbersome processes of fiat deposits, bank transfers, or opening accounts with brokers. These contracts support up to 100x leverage and feature 0% base rates, eliminating the overnight swap fees typically charged by traditional FX providers. The selected currency pairs play a pivotal role in global FX trading. EUR/USD accounts for approximately 23% of daily trading volume, while USD/JPY and GBP/USD serve as primary tools for traders to express views on interest rate trends, monetary policy, and global risk sentiment. Unlike traditional FX markets, which are typically closed for about 48 hours over the weekend, BitMEX's perpetual products support uninterrupted trading, enabling real-time responses to macroeconomic events. During market hours, prices are derived from external aggregated data; during market closures, the system smoothly transitions to internal order book activity to ensure a seamless user trading experience. Driven by user demand, BitMEX plans to further expand its TradFi perpetual product suite. Previously, BitMEX has launched stock and commodity-related products, including WTI crude oil and silver (XAG). This continuous expansion reflects BitMEX's core strategy: to bridge the gap to traditional financial markets using crypto-native infrastructure through a unified derivatives platform.
