Now Live: XBT and USDT-Margined Green Metaverse Token Listings

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. 

Key contract details:

  • Symbol: GMTUSD
  • Margin currency:  XBT
  • Bitcoin Multiplier: 0.0001 XBT (10,000 Satoshis)
  • XBT Contract Value: GMTUSD Price * Bitcoin Multiplier (10,000 Sat / 1 USDT)

  • Maker Fee: -0.01%

GMTUSDT Linear Contract Specs

GMTUSDT is a linear perpetual swap, margined in USDT.

Key contract specs:

  • Maker Fee: -0.01%

Both the GMTUSD and GMTUSDT contracts started trading at 04:00 UTC on 11 April 2022.
