Further in support of users’ investment and trading needs, Bitmax launched a copy-trading service for futures product, also known as a mirror or social trading. Besides, we’ve seen increasing primary listings of projects and auctions for the token sale on the BitMax exchange in Q2 of 2020.
BitMax Staking Progress for 3 Months
BitMax launched its innovative staking product on April 2nd, 2020. Since then, it has already achieved significant results.
Throughout the second quarter of 2020, the Bitmax exchange had been actively expanding the number of tokens available for staking on the platform. So, within 3 months BitMax users were able to stake 5 new tokens: Kava, Harmony, Band Protocol, LTO Network and ThorChain. Additionally, two Pre-Staking programs were launched, one for xDai, which is valid till August 6th, and one event for Harmony valid till June 19th. The key differentiation of Pre-Staking is a higher reward for staking and limited validity. And last but not least, BitMax keeps on introducing more flexible conditions for staking. Recently, instant unbonding of ONE with ZERO fees was launched.A full overview of BitMax Staking and Pre-Staking conditions is summarized below:BitTreasure Products
In addition to Staking, during Q2 2020, BitMax users were able to receive income for a certain period using another fixed deposit investment product called BitTreasure. Unlike the instant unbonding feature for staking tokens, the BiTreasure service doesn’t permit withdrawals before the due date.
The tokens presented in the table were available in BitTreasure to a limited extent, while it was possible to get the subscription to the BTMX exchange token at any time, with 29.75 Est. APR as of now.Auction on the BitMax Platform
In Q2 2020, BitMax held an auction for the sale of Stake Tokens (xDai project). In addition to other requirements for participation, users had to have a BTMX Position ≥ 2,500 in a cash account (includes unlocked BTMX in the cash account, and BTMX with a pending unlock status from private sale). xDai Chain auction on BitMax was successfully completed in just 15 seconds. After STAKE trading started on April 29, its price went up to 9x time from auction price, with current trading at 6.38x.It is also worth noting that BitMax is among the top 3 exchanges with the highest current and ATH average returns since IEO (ROI) by exchange platforms.
