VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 20, 2025, the safest crypto exchange, today announced the launch of "The Ripple Effect," an exciting new campaign to introduce significant trading opportunities for its users. Starting 20 May, BitMEX users can deposit, buy, and trade Ripple USD (RLUSD) on the BitMEX Spot market. Furthermore, BitMEX is the first cryptocurrency exchange to offer RLUSD as a margin currency through its Multi Asset Margining feature, available from 22 May.
To celebrate the partnership, BitMEX is giving away a 15,000 RLUSD prize pool to users who deposit, buy, or trade RLUSD on BitMEX Spot, and utilise RLUSD as margin to trade derivatives on the platform.
"We are thrilled to kickstart our collaboration with Ripple, a leading provider of digital asset infrastructure, to introduce 'The Ripple Effect' for our traders," said Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. "The addition of RLUSD for spot trading and the inclusion of the leading stablecoin as a margin currency underscore our commitment to providing our users with a diverse and innovative trading environment. We believe the new listing, coupled with the 15,000 RLUSD reward pool, will be met with great enthusiasm by our community."
The integration of RLUSD on BitMEX Spot provides users with a seamless and efficient way to access and trade Ripple USD, a stablecoin offering a blend of stability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. By being the first to offer RLUSD as margin, BitMEX empowers derivatives traders with unique flexibility and choice in managing their positions and collateral.

- RLUSD Spot Trading: Users who deposit or buy RLUSD can earn their share of a 4,000 RLUSD reward pool.
- RLUSD as Margin: Traders that utilise RLUSD as margin for their derivatives trades can earn their share of a 7,000 RLUSD reward pool.
