Announcing the new offering, BitMEX CEO Stephen Lutz said,
“Well, we know a lot of serious crypto traders refrained from getting involved in Meme Coins directly. For good reasons. Volatility, short cycles, liquidity in some coins. BUT … if you could trade a basket and have full safety with insurance fund and no need to switch USDT and/or your Tier1 crypto into Meme Coins? Well, you might want to get involved.”
