Paired against the U.S. dollars, the XRP trading pools on GMX are rewarding users nearly 75%, while Solana's SOL and dogecoin [DOGE] pools are showing yields of up to 65%.
Bitcoin [BTC] yields have popped to over 28% – the highest among DeFi platforms – while ether [ETH] yields have jumped to 19%, platform data shows.
Liquidity on these pools is provided through individual GMX Market, or GM, pools. Liquidity providers are users who lock their tokens on GMX and are rewarded with a cut of fees earned from services such as leverage trading, borrowing and swaps.
Such rewards have been made possible as the platform was the biggest recipient of Arbitrum’s ARB token grant following a community vote in October.
As previously reported, several projects built on the Arbitrum blockchain bagged a cumulative stash of $40 million in ARB tokens as part of a short-term incentives program (STIP) round – an effort to help attract new money to the popular blockchain.

Over the course of 12 weeks, 12 million ARB tokens will be distributed in three separate incentive categories on GMX, starting with incentives to those who provide liquidity to trading pools.
Trading incentives will begin in the coming weeks, rewarding users who trade the most volume across tokens on the platform, while grant incentives will be offered last – offering rewards to developers who build products for the betterment of GMX.
