BitMEX Live: Adjusts Minimum Price Increments and Lot Sizes for Key Contracts
Effective 13 Nov at 04:00 UTC, BitMEX implemented updates to minimum price increments and lot size across several perpetual swaps and futures contracts. The revised minimum price increments (tick sizes) and lot size settings aim to enhance price precision, tighten bid-ask spreads and boost overall trading liquidity. Traders should review the updated contract specifications on the BitMEX website and contact support with any questions.
Neutral
This platform update focuses on recalibrating minimum price increments and lot sizes—technical parameters that improve trading precision and liquidity but do not directly signal bullish or bearish market momentum. Similar tick-size adjustments in the past have yielded tighter spreads and modest volume gains without triggering major price moves. In the short term, traders may benefit from improved execution; in the long term, these changes support a more efficient market structure.
