In a blog post, the company said that this product would be a &#8220;Ripple USD quanto swap,&#8221; which will allow traders to leverage trade the cryptocurrency with leverage of up to 50x. According to a\u00a0recent Twitter update from the cryptocurrency exchange, the XRP swap contract is on track to launch at 04:00 UTC on February 5th, 2020 \u2014 just a day away. We at BitMEX are proud to announce that trading of a new perpetual swap on the XRP token (XRPUSD) will begin at 0400 UTC on 5 February 2020. &mdash; BitMEX (@BitMEX) February 4, 2020 With BitMEX being one of the most influential trading platforms in the crypto spaces \u2014 its Bitcoin swap has processed some $2 trillion worth of volume over its existence \u2014 many have been speculating as to the effects of this new market for XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Analysis from NewsBTC suggests that the launch of this product may present a bear case for the altcoin. Launch of BitMEX&#8217;s XRP Swap Could Hurt Prices On August 2nd of 2018, BitMEX released a product for Ethereum similar to the upcoming XRP one, allowing traders to bet against ETH&#8217;s performance against the U.S. dollar with high leverage. As can be easily seen below in the chart from NewsBTC, the product launch saw the performance of ETH rapidly deviate from Bitcoin, which was then flatlining in the low-$6,000s as it attempted to stave off a further bear market. After a month of the product being live, Ethereum was down around 27% and Bitcoin was down 10%. Not to mention, Ethereum posted a -80% performance from the date of the BitMEX ETH swap to the bottom, while BTC posted a relatively good -60% performance in the same time frame. On Aug 2, 2018, BitMEX launched a $ETH\/USD swap. As you can see below, Ethereum immediately deviated from Bitcoin, plunging as BTC flatlined. In a day or two, BitMEX is slated to release a swap for $XRP\/USD. I wonder if something similar will happen this time around. pic.twitter.com\/qbEL17aoae &mdash; Nick Chong (@n1ckchong) February 4, 2020 This writer suggested that something similar could play out again, where BitMEX&#8217;s launch of a swap product for XRP may cause the asset to gain beta against Bitcoin, meaning more volatility and likely, lower prices as can be seen in the case of Ethereum. Yes, there were other factors pushing ETH down at the time, including the collapse of the ICO bubble and simple market cycles, yet many agree that this new vehicle from BitMEX may pose a threat to the bullish XRP narrative.
