Is it advisable to invest in the GMX token? The answer depends on your investment goals and risk tolerance in my opinion. One of the greatest strengths the GMX token offers is its various utility features that can potentially generate passive income for holders. For instance, GMX token holders can benefit from fee sharing rewards, receiving 30% of the platform's fees, while staking GMX tokens can also yield an APY of up to 12%. However, it's worth noting that providing liquidity in the form of GLP tokens can offer an even higher APY of up to 20%, albeit with higher risk exposure due to the nature of trades on the platform, and GLP liquidity providers also receive the other 70% of the platform's fees.
If you're considering short-term trading day or swing trading $GMX token, from my analysis the token paired with USDT on an exchange like Binance could be suitable, given their reasonable liquidity and daily trading volume for those interested.
On the other hand, if you're contemplating a long-term investment, whilst I do think the platform will have continued success in the future and it is definitely not the worst investment by a long shot to put money into. Be aware, GMX already boasts a market capitalization of already around $300 million, whereas similar projects with native tokens like Ape X have a much smaller market cap of only around $4.6 million. While $GMX has the potential to grow into the billions in market cap, it does not align with my own more personally aggressive play for a long-term investment strategy, so I unfortunately view this as a missed opportunity now.
Regardless of the $GMX token, the GMX platform itself is very commendable. It offers user-friendly features, has unique protection features to protect traders which not many other DEX’s have and it also stands out as a prominent player in the decentralized crypto derivatives space, suggesting it will likely have a promising and prosperous future meaning its not going anywhere anytime soon.
