GMX, a decentralized exchange protocol, has launched new single-token liquidity pools for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) on the Arbitrum network.​ These pools allow liquidity providers to earn fees from supporting trading while maintaining their full crypto exposure and avoiding impermanent loss.​ The new pools have attracted over $15 million in liquidity within a few days of launch, offering double-digit annual percentage rates (APRs) for BTC and ETH holders.​ The introduction of these pools aims to draw additional liquidity and further scale GMX's markets, potentially unlocking a significant portion of the over $35 billion total value locked (TVL) across lending markets.​
