Cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX today published its BMEX mini white paper ahead of its official launch tomorrow, Tuesday.

The BMEX digital currency will be distributed starting tomorrow, February 1, with a welcome promotion offering new and existing customers of the “BitMEX” platform an opportunity to accumulate the currency by subscribing to the “BitMEX EARN” service.

Other ways to get BMEX include trading activity and inviting other users to use the platform.

BitMEX also stated that this offer is a limited opportunity because the first phase of the free distribution will continue from now until the beginning of the second quarter of 2022.

Starting from February 1, users can participate to get BMEX, with instant trading of BMEX coins starting in the early second quarter of 2022 after being listed on the same “BitMEX” platform.
