Lol, who are these people and why should anyone trust them?
even their github for their API is the cringe inducing: "This organization has no public members. You must be a member to see who’s a part of this organization."
You don't really need to trust us in the beginning, since you can get started with just 1 USDT.
That's enough to open a position of $10 (using 10x leverage) or $100 (using 100x leverage).
We also have a no-deposit welcome bonus ($12) that you can claim and use to open new positions - completely risk free.
As for the lack of transparency - you are completely right.
We literally just launched 2 days ago and haven't got around to listing our team yet. We are working on that right now and will be publishing an "about us" page within the next week or two. Expect to see changes soon.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. You can also ping me in the chat @mike, or in our Telegram channel and I'll be happy to answer.
Apparently you also have to trust all the other anonymous users of the exchange. From their risk disclosure:
Trading the Futures exposes you to credit risk. This is the risk that one or more of your counterparties have deposited insufficient Collateral into their Account(s) such that you may not receive some or all the Digital Asset they owe you
So this exchange lets you place a trade, but even if you win, the counterparty might not pay you! This, coupled with their ludicrous 100x leverage, is a recipe for disaster.
Very meager market depth. Can clear out the order book by selling a whole bitcoin.
Also: "For legal reasons, we are not allowed to do business with customers from the United States of America, Crimea and Sevastopol, Cuba, Iran, Pakistan, Sudan, North Korea and Syria.."
You're completely right about the liquidity. We just launched two days ago and haven't brought in any major market makers yet. We're currently in talks with some, so expect to see more liquidity very soon.
And yes, for legal reasons we are not allowed to accept customers located in the US. Neither are most other crypto derivatives exchanges (Bitmex, Deribit, FTX). It really is an unfortunate state of affairs.
I've never been more grateful for the protections of U.S. law. 100x leverage to gamble in cryptocurrencies? There's a recipe for the bankruptcy courts.
I was thinking the same. It's inviting a world of hurt when your assets get frozen across the platform because someone else used it as part of their fraud scheme.
I completely understand your point of view here - as a trader, I would also be careful depositing into new exchanges.
If you're not comfortable with doing so initially, you can also claim a $12 sign-up/social bonus. Requires no deposit, and can get you a position with size up to $1200 or equivalent.
I think something like this would be better as an etherium smart contract using oracles to get the crypto prices. Then you wouldn't have to trust a 3rd party (as long as the oracles work right)
LOL shit coin index... shitcoins are shitcoins. No big market by definition.
However, Its only a matter of time till somebody tries to enable virtual sp500 btc settled futures. Although the cftc might take a more aggressive approach in shutting them down.
