BitMEX adds an XRP-based perpetual contract

The crypto trading giant BitMEX run by Arthur Hayes has announced that on February 5, the exchange will launch <a href="https://u.today/xrpusd-perpetual-swap-contract-to-go-live-on-bitmex-details">an XRP/USD perpetual contract</a>, so that customers will be able to trade&nbsp;it with 100-percent leverage.

Arthur Hayes, the CEO, stated that he did not care whether the third largest crypto was called Ripple or XRP. The most important thing for him was that it is trading above zero.

Earlier, U.Today reported that Binance added a similar perpetual contract <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="##h53">(XRP/USDT)</a>, along with similar contracts for margin trading based on other cryptocurrencies, e.g., TRX, LTC, EOS.

Unlike traditional futures contracts, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.binance.vision/economics/what-are-perpetual-futures-contracts">perpetual contracts</a> cannot expire, so traders can hold their positions for as long as they wish.
