Odaily Planet Daily News: BitMEX has conducted a comprehensive analysis of all perpetual contract tokens launched on major centralized exchanges (BitMEX, Binance, Bybit, and OKX) between early 2025 and March 18, 2025. By studying price trends and specific exchange patterns, the aim is to provide traders with operational insights on newly launched perpetual contracts.
The analysis results show that BitMEX has more listings that appreciate after the first day (58.33% of listings), and these "winners" exhibit significantly higher returns - among all analyzed exchanges, BitMEX has the highest average return (62.55%), median return (23.21%), and maximum return (296.44%). The first day price performance varies by exchange: on BitMEX, only 41.7% of perpetual contracts reached their all-time high on the first day of trading. This is in stark contrast to OKX's 70.83% and Binance's 50% reaching historical highs on the first day.
Most newly listed tokens peak within one week: for tokens that continue to appreciate after being listed, most reach their highest price within the first week (BitMEX: median of 6 days).
