BitMEX Introduces MEMEMEXTUSDT Basket Index Perpetual Swap
BitMEX has unveiled a new offering: the MEMEMEXTUSDT Basket Index perpetual swap contract. Designed to provide traders with exposure to the top 10 meme coins, this contract incorporates Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe Coin (PEPE), among others.
