Expanding GMX to Millions of New Users

Following the successful deployment on Base, GMX Multichain has now also integrated BNB Chain, enabling the network’s millions of users to trade directly on GMX.

Any user on BNB Chain can now:

Trade 100+ Perpetual markets with deep liquidity, low fees, and efficient onchain execution
Access 23 Spot markets, including BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, LINK, AAVE, AVAX, and other popular altcoins
Seamlessly execute trades cross-chain in under a second, powered by LayerZero and the premium RPC infrastructure of GMX Express

All traders will benefit from GMX’s proven Perp DEX infrastructure: permissionless access, user-provided liquidity, and transparently fair onchain markets and price execution.

Why BNB Chain Matters

BNB Chain represents one of the largest and most active ecosystems in DeFi, with strong user activity across trading, yield generation, and infrastructure protocols. The EVM blockchain backed by Binance boasts over $9 billion in TVL and more than 4,5 million active wallets.

Integrating BNB Chain through Multichain expands access to GMX to a large and engaged user base. Perp traders from the new ecosystem will benefit from the more than $400 million in unified liquidity available in GMX’s pools.

So far, GMX has already facilitated over $325 billion in notional volume from more than 720,000 traders across Arbitrum, Avalanche, Botanix, Solana, and Base. Unlocking BNB Chain helps further scale this growth.

Liquidity provision from BNB Chain, Base, and other unlocked chains will also be enabled soon, allowing users to easily earn yield by depositing in GMX’s GM liquidity pools and GLV vaults. Furthermore, this allows DeFi builders from the unlocked ecosystems to build on GMX’s composable, blue-chip liquidity products as well.
