On 15 September 2021 at 04:00 UTC, we will list new quarterly Futures on BitMEX.
The new contracts will be visible on the platform from 14 September at 04:00 UTC as Unlisted, 24 hours before the start of trading. Contracts will be live in Testnet on 3 September along with contract specifications.
To provide a better experience for our users, we will be updating the minimum trade amount on all Z21 Linear Futures. This will especially help those who want to trade ETH futures – the previous minimum trade amount of 1 ETH is now 0.01 ETH.
We will achieve this by using a multiplier of 1 (currently 100,000,000) for all Z21 Linear Futures – enabling users to trade a notional value suitable for the market given the updated Lot Size. This will not impact web users who can continue to use the input box to enter the notional amount they are willing to trade (i.e. 1 EOS).
However, API users should take note of the updated contract specifications of the impacted contracts, in particular the changes to contract size and minimum trade amount for new futures contracts, and update their relevant systems accordingly to avoid any disruption in trading.
Please see the table below for the listing and settlement dates of current and upcoming Futures contracts for Q4 2021.
