High Interest in Crypto Derivatives is Bullish for DGTX
Posted on May 12, 2020 | by Ali Martinez
The crypto derivatives market has grown in popularity over the years. As institutional investors flock to the industry, there has been an increasing demand for crypto futures, options, and swaps offerings. Indeed, new volume records are being set constantly due to the interest for such financial products.
Data from Skew reveals that despite the high levels of volatility seen recently as speculation mounted regarding Bitcoin’s halving, the aggregate BTC futures volume today accounts for more than $35 billion.
Huobi is currently leading the charts with a trading volume of $8.2 billion in the past 24 hours. The Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange is followed by OKEx and Binance, which reported volumes of $7.2 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively.
Once known as the king of the crypto derivatives market, BitMEX has fallen down to the number four spot with BTC futures volumes of $5 billion. This cryptocurrency platform may have put a permanent stain on its reputation after the massive collapse of its liquidation engine during Black Thursday in March.

Regardless, the popularity of all of these industry leaders may enter a downward trajectory as Digitex Futures is set to disrupt the entire crypto derivatives sector.
A New Player on the Block
The new trading platform led by Adam Todd will introduce a zero-fee trading structure into the crypto derivatives market. The commission-free exchange will enable traders and market participants alike to speculate on the future price of a given asset without taking a percentage of their profits.
When taking into consideration the current industry leaders — Huobi, OKEx, Binance, and BitMEX — they all charge considerable trading fees. Although their fee structure may seem meaningless, it makes trading strategies like scalping impossible since profits are slowly eaten up by commission fees.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, Binance, for instance, charges a maker fee of 0.02% and a taker fee of 0.04% on its crypto derivatives trading platform, Binance Futures. While this may not look like much at a first glance, when trades are being made using 100x leverage, that quickly becomes 2% to enter and 4% to exit a position.
These fees are even more significant in Huobi, OKEx, and BitMEX, which are charging 0.2%, 0.1%, and 0.075%, respectively. When added up, these commissions have the ability to wipe out a trader’s small profits.
Unlike any of these cryptocurrency exchanges, Digitex Futures will allow anyone to place as many long or short positions as they wish over and over again without incurring a single fee. This is a clear advantage for traders who want to capitalize even on the smallest market fluctuations. And, it will certainly open the gates to a new wave of demand for the DGTX token, which makes all of the above possible.
Demand for DGTX coin Is Expected to Rise
Having the possibility to profit in every single movement of the market will even get the average Joe interested in trading. As users of Digitex Futures will rely on DGTX to have access to the platform, the demand for this utility token will likely shoot up.
Such a bullish outlook coincides with what can be seen from a technical perspective.
The Tom Demark (TD) Sequential indicator is currently presenting a buy signal on DGTX’s 1-day chart. The bullish formation developed in the form of a red nine candlestick. Due to the recent price action, however, it transitioned into a green one candle.
The aforementioned technical index estimates that a further increase in the buying pressure behind DGTX will validate the optimistic outlook. If so, this altcoin could be poised to surge for one to four daily candlesticks or begin a new upward countdown.
