GMXUSD Quanto Contract Specs
As with all quanto contracts, the GMXUSD listing has a fixed Bitcoin multiplier, regardless of the GMX/USD price. This allows traders to long or short the GMX/USD exchange rate without ever touching GMX or USD.
Traders can post margin in XBT, and earn or lose in XBT as the GMX/USD rate changes. This quanto risk premium may be one of the factors that results in the GMXUSD swap trading at a premium/discount to the GMXUSD spot price.
For an explanation of the same concept, check out this blog post referencing ETHUSD.

What is the GMX Token?
GMX is one of the fastest growing decentralised exchanges, and promises low swap fees and zero-impact trades. It operates on a dual-token model with GLP (its liquidity pool token) and GMX (the platform’s utility and governance token).
Holding the GMX token unlocks a variety of benefits. For example, those who stake GMX will receive three types of rewards: escrowed GMX, multiplier points, and ETH / AVAX rewards. GMX currently supports Avalanche and Arbitrum. For an in-depth look at GMX tokenomics, click here.
