The crypto exchange will mint all 450 million units of BMEX tokens at once, but will circulate them over the period of five years. The exchange will also buy and burn BMEX tokens every quarter, a strategy followed by other exchanges as well.
BitMEX Ecosystem
BitMEX is a popular yet controversial crypto derivatives exchange that settled with United States authorities paying hundreds of millions of dollars. All co-founders of the exchange are still facing criminal charges brought by the US Justice Department.
BitMEX already has plans to roll out a crypto spot exchange in the second quarter of 2022 and the native tokens can be seen as a preparation for that. The exchange is planning to use BMEX tokens for rewarding its user base and ‘grow[ing] the BitMEX ecosystem’.
“An allocation of 20% is reserved for BitMEX employees and another 25% for our long-term commitment to the token and ecosystem,” the exchange detailed. BitMEX also clarified that the BMEX tokens will not be offered or can be traded within the United States.
