BitMEX Makes History: RLUSD Now Accepted as Margin for Crypto Derivatives—First in the Market
BitMEX just flipped the script on crypto derivatives trading—rolling out RLUSD as margin collateral before anyone else dared. Traders now get a shiny new tool to leverage their bets, while the exchange quietly mints fees from both bulls and bears.
Why this matters: More collateral options mean tighter spreads and bigger positions. RLUSD joins the big leagues, but let’s see if it holds up when the market inevitably moons or tanks on a tweet.
Cynical take: Another ‘innovation’ that’ll make traders rich (or broke) faster, while BitMEX collects rent. Welcome to decentralized finance, where the house always wins—even when it’s not a house.
