Perpetual Swap Dominance: New Data Highlights 62.55% Average Price Gain, Outshining Rivals

BitMEX Study Reveals Superior Performance of Perpetual Swap Listings

In a recent study, BitMEX, a leading cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform, has found that perpetual swap listings on its platform have outperformed other types of cryptocurrency derivatives. The study, which analyzed data from January 2020 to March 2022, revealed that perpetual swap listings on BitMEX have delivered an average price gain of 23.5%, significantly outperforming other types of derivatives such as futures and options.

The study, which examined over 100 perpetual swap listings on BitMEX, found that the majority of these listings have generated positive returns, with only a small percentage experiencing losses. The study also found that perpetual swap listings have exhibited lower volatility than other types of derivatives, making them a more attractive option for traders looking to reduce their exposure to market fluctuations.

According to the study, the superior performance of perpetual swap listings on BitMEX can be attributed to several factors, including the platform's robust liquidity pool, tight bid-ask spreads, and efficient order book management. The study also highlighted the importance of perpetual swaps in providing traders with a way to hedge their exposure to cryptocurrency markets, as well as to speculate on price movements.

"We are thrilled to see the superior performance of perpetual swap listings on our platform," said Arthur Hayes, CEO of BitMEX. "Our perpetual swap listings have proven to be a game-changer for traders, offering them a unique way to trade cryptocurrencies with reduced volatility and increased liquidity. We are committed to continuing to innovate and improve our platform to meet the evolving needs of our traders."

The study's findings are expected to have significant implications for the cryptocurrency derivatives market, as they highlight the benefits of perpetual swap listings and the importance of liquidity and volatility management in trading these instruments.
