From 4 September 2024 at 04:00 UTC, BitMEX users will be able to long or short AAVE via two new listings – AAVEUSD and AAVEUSDT – with up to 20x leverage and one of the highest max position sizes in the industry.
For the lowdown on these listings, read on.
If you haven’t signed up for a BitMEX account yet, we’re currently offering up to $5,000 in BMEX Tokens for verified users- you can register here.
AAVEUSD Quanto Contract Specs
As with all quanto contracts, the AAVEUSD product has a fixed Bitcoin multiplier, regardless of the AAVE/USD price. This allows traders to long or short the AAVE/USD exchange rate without ever touching AAVE or USD.
Traders can post margin in XBT, and earn or lose in XBT as the AAVE/USD rate changes.
This quanto risk premium may be one of the factors that results in the AAVEUSD swap trading at a premium/discount to the AAVEUSD spot price.
For an explanation of the same concept, check out this blog post referencing ETHUSD.
