BitMEX Partners with Pyth Pro to Scale Equity Perps

BitMEX has selected Pyth Pro as a real-time market data provider to power the pricing infrastructure for our new Equity Perps. The integration brings institutional-grade, multi-asset pricing to our trading platform, as we expand our reach into real-world asset (RWA) perpetual markets.

By integrating Pyth Pro’s sophisticated data stack, we are ensuring that our users can trade US equities and indices with the same precision, reliability, and speed that they expect from our core crypto derivatives products.

Precision Pricing for Equity Perps

As we continue to scale our Equity Perps offering, the requirement for high-fidelity market data becomes paramount. Unlike traditional assets, equity and RWA perpetuals demand a level of data integrity that legacy providers often struggle to meet in an "always-on" global trading environment.

To maintain the accuracy of our funding rates, liquidations, and collateral valuations, we require pricing that reflects real-time liquidity across extended and overnight trading sessions. Pyth Pro serves to accurately bridge the gap between traditional equity markets and the 24/7 nature of crypto-native infrastructure.

Why Pyth Pro?

We selected Pyth Pro because it delivers real-time prices sourced directly from the world’s leading trading firms, market makers, and exchanges. This integration provides several critical advantages for BitMEX traders:

• Institutional-Grade Multi-Asset Pricing: We now have access to high-accuracy pricing across all our Equity Perps contracts, ensuring that our index prices are based on deep, verified liquidity.

• Exclusive 24/5 US Equity Feeds: Through an exclusive collaboration with Blue Ocean, Pyth Pro provides us with 24/5 US equity feeds. This allows BitMEX to offer reliable reference prices during extended and overnight trading hours, a vital feature for global RWA markets.

• Low-Latency Performance: Pyth Pro’s modern data stack is built for high-performance markets. This ensures that our price discovery remains near-instantaneous, reducing slippage and optimising the execution environment for our users.

• Unmatched Asset Coverage: With access to over 2,800 real-time price feeds—including nearly 1,000 equities and ETFs—this integration allows us to rapidly scale our product offerings across 11 different asset classes through a single, unified API.

Supporting the Future of Global Markets

The expansion of trading platforms into equity and RWA perpetuals represents a significant shift in the derivatives landscape. As centralised exchanges increasingly move into traditional asset classes, the demand for transparent, real-time data becomes the differentiating factor for professional traders.

By partnering with Pyth Pro, we’re not only enhancing our Equity Perps but also setting a new standard for how global markets are brought on-chain. Our focus remains on delivering the most sophisticated tools for our community, ensuring that BitMEX remains the premier venue for modern derivatives trading.
