Update on the GMX Buy Wall Floor Between March 18 and 25
Financial backing for our latest market initiative has been formally approved through a Tally vote, and the designated resources are safely stored within the GMX multi-sig wallet responsible for managing Protocol-Owned Liquidity. With these funds secured, the Treasury is now deploying a buy wall of 1 million GMX tokens priced at $5 each. As suggested in the Strategic Plan to Restore Price Discovery, this approach serves a dual purpose by allowing us to potentially accumulate GMX at a low cost while smoothly absorbing any extreme supply overhang.
This step follows the highly successful execution of the liquidity consolidation phase detailed in that very same proposal. In addition to these structural improvements, all regular GMX buybacks have fully transitioned over to CEXes, where they are now constantly ongoing.
The newly established buy wall floor is officially active and will remain operational throughout the upcoming weekly epoch spanning March 18 to 25. This specific timeframe provides a convenient alignment with our next scheduled weekly window, matching up perfectly with the 7-day epoch that begins on Wednesday.
Regarding the technical execution, whenever GMX trades at or drops below $5.00, purchasing activity will be directly initiated across both onchain platforms and CEX venues. We currently have an iceberg order active on CEXs to facilitate this, and it will be supplemented accordingly if the $5 floor price is reached. Concurrently, all onchain buying mechanisms will run in parallel to ensure comprehensive and seamless market coverage.
