Decentralized perpetual exchange GMX has launched 24/7 gold and silver markets on Arbitrum, drawing more than $10 million in trading volume on the first day, the protocol announced on X.
The new XAU/USD and XAG/USD markets are synthetic perpetuals settled onchain using WETH-USDC liquidity. Pricing is secured through Chainlink Data Streams, the same oracle infrastructure that underpins GMX's existing perp markets, according to a blog post from the exchange.
"We're excited to see GMX adopt Chainlink to power its newly launched gold and silver perpetual markets," said Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs. "This is how we enter a new era where the world's largest commodities are traded onchain at a massive scale."
