GMX Expands RWA Trading with Energy Commodities on Arbitrum
⛽ GMX Goes Big on Energy
GMX has launched perpetual futures for three major energy commodities on Arbitrum:
- WTI Crude Oil (WTIOIL/USD)
- Brent Crude Oil (BRENTOIL/USD)
- Natural Gas (NATGAS/USD)
These markets join the recently launched 24/7 GOLD and SILVER perps under the RWA category. All markets feature:
- Low trading fees (2-4 basis points)
- 24/7 availability, including weekends
- Price data via Chainlink Data Streams
- Cross-chain accessibility through GMX Account
The platform continues expanding into global markets, offering permissionless access to real-world assets without requiring brokerage accounts or custody arrangements.
$1.18B in volume this week. $790K in fees generated. Gold and Silver just went live: 2-4 bps, 24/7, onchain. GMX's markets never close.
What that means for you in practice: When contributing to OI balance, the total cost for opening and closing a position is now only 2 basis points during on-hours. When adding to the skew, it is 4 bps. GMX offers the lowest fee range for gold & silver perps available anywhere.
The 24/7 GOLD/USD and SILVER/USD markets are listed under the RWA category on GMX. Search by name (GOLD, SILVER) or ticker (XAU, XAG). The markets are deployed on Arbitrum, and are also accessible cross-chain via your GMX Account. > app.gmx.io 5/
GOLD/USD and SILVER/USD are priced via @Chainlink Data Streams; sub-second latency feeds, decentrally sourced from global venues. This is the same oracle infrastructure powering GMX's 100+ other perp markets. Accurate pricing on global assets is a hard requirement for GMX. 3/4
GMX has lowered trading fees on its 24/7 GOLD/USD and SILVER/USD perps to 1/2 bps during CME market hours. Trade precious metals on @Arbitrum at institutional-grade rates: just 1 bps on the underweight side of open interest, 2 bps on the overweight side. 1/5 🧵
While 24/7 Gold and Silver are the first perps on GMX for real-world assets, more commodities will follow soon. Other asset classes are under evaluation too. $10M in 24 hours is a good starting point, nonetheless. Trade your favorite markets: app.gmx.io 4/4
The new 24/7 Gold and Silver markets on Arbitrum crossed $10 million in trading volume within the first day of going live on GMX. That highlights the demand for permissionless access to precious metals exposure. No brokerage account, no custody; no complexity. 1/4
