Furthermore, the contract is margined in USDT and traders can leverage up to 25x. For context, basket Index perpetual contracts are derivatives. They are tied to a group of underlying assets. Moreover, this new product lets traders speculate on the overall performance of meme coins. It also helps them diversify their risk. It is similar to the S&amp;P 500 in traditional finance. 
The MEMEMEX Basket Index, also called .BMEMEMEXT, is a key part of this new product. It includes the top 10 meme coins by market cap. As of now, these coins and the share in the index are:

Any changes are announced four days before the rebalance.
