GMX broke out of consolidation and is a buy on a retracement
gmx token (GMX/USD) has doubled in price. Trading at just $25 on November 10, the cryptocurrency touched a high of $59 on December 2. The gains came amid an influx of investors following the collapse of FTX. As of press time, GMX was trading at $56.
FTX Exchange Collapse Fueling demand for decentralized exchanges, or DEXs. DEXs that became popular were GMX and Uniswap. Both platforms saw an increase in investor interest, fueling gains in the native token. Nevertheless, on November 28, GMX saw $1.15 million in daily trading fees. Surpassed the fees earned by Uniswap for the first time in history. This underscored that investors view the lesser-known DEX as a serious competitor to Uniswap.
Market analyst Zane commented on GMX’s recent performance compared to Uniswap. The market analyst says GMX’s performance stems from investors receiving favorable trading fees of around 30%. Uniswap users do not receive shares from the protocol’s trading fees. Zane says GMX is a buy and hold in a bear market. He also lauds the platform as the second most consistent platform after Uniswap.
