BONE Price Sluggish Despite Listing on This Major Exchange

Bitmex introduced BONE perpetual contracts to a lukewarm market response earlier today, but the token has maintained a sluggish performance since the centralized exchange’s listing announcement.

A few hours ago, Bitmex announced the official listing of Bitcoin and Tether-margined BONE listings, which include BONEUSD and BONEUSDT.

• The statement immediately caused hype within the community, with many responding with high hopes and anticipated enhanced price gains.
• However, the ShibaSwap governance token, BONE, continued its relatively flat trajectory despite the buzz, as seen on market charts.

• The charts then show a brief increase to a high of $1.28 before settling back to the level of $1.27.
• In recent hours, BONE’s price has mirrored the downward trend observed in the past 5 to 6 days.

• However, since then, BONE has been losing value slowly to today’s 24-hour high of $1.29.
• Based on the tweet, the actual listing of the pairs will be completed tomorrow. Hence, some still anticipate price gains later in the week.
