Paradigm and BitMEX are thrilled to announce a new partnership to launch futures spreads trading on Paradigm, cleared and settled on BitMEX. 

BitMEX has been at the forefront of innovation in the crypto space since its inception, and changed the crypto derivatives landscape with its introduction of the Perpetual Swap in 2016. Paradigm is delighted to combine our liquidity network and block trading capabilities with BitMEX’s world-class clearing, settlement and custody infrastructure. 

Paradigm’s futures spreads order books enable BitMEX clients to trade the spread between spot, perpetuals and futures without exposure to leg risk. BitMEX traders will have a powerful new tool to lock-in and trade the cost of carry for hedging and alpha generation.

Anand Gomes, CEO of Paradigm

"I have admired BitMEX’s innovation since the early days of crypto derivatives and am excited to be partnering to further develop the ecosystem. BitMEX’s revolutionary perpetual futures product has become a cornerstone of the crypto derivatives market, and together we hope to make the futures spreads market another such cornerstone of the growing derivatives ecosystem.”

Alex Höptner, CEO of BitMEX

"We are very pleased to start working with the Paradigm team, the key name in their segment of the industry, and to be able to offer our corporate clients access to clearing bigger trades on our platform through Paradigm’s trade matching functionality. Our focus has always been to offer an agile, secure, fun and improved experience to our users, and this partnership sets the best environment for us. We can’t wait to be live with Paradigm in just a few weeks time.”

Stay tuned for updates closer to launch!
