Arbitrum to airdrop ARB token on BitMEX via linear futures listing

BitMEX has announced that the community will have access to the future listing of Arbitrum’s highly anticipated ARB token. It will be airdropped at 3:00 UTC, allowing token holders to be long or short the token with a maximum 20x leverage. The linear futures contract has been designated ARBUSDTM23, is margined in USDT and has nearly identical functionality to the regular contract.

The expiration date of ARBUSDTM23 has been set for June 30, 2023. ARB tokens are available in lots of 1,000, with a minimum trade size of 1 ARB. USDT is the margin currency. In addition to the take fee of 0.075%, a maker fee of 0.02% is applicable. BitMEX has implemented the mark method of Last Price and is considering the installation of price limitations to better safeguard clients.

The platform will establish a Limit Up and Limit Down each hour to ensure that the price remains within the range. No one will be permitted to go above the Limit Up Price or below the Limit Down Price. The mark price for adjustment is +/- 20%.

This is a speculative contract, and therefore, it may transition to auto-deleveraging. The chances are higher and worth noting for every customer.

BitMEX will soon construct a .BARBT index with the objective of representing the spot price of the token. Once it has been put to work, the idea of shifting from Mark Method to Fair Price will be tossed around the community. Holders of the token will have access to Arbitrum DAO, where critical decisions will be taken regarding governance and Arbitrum One.

The BMEX token discount will apply. The settlement price is .BARBT30M to mark yet another key difference in comparison to other contracts.
