Costs and Predictability
GMX and Similar Futures Platforms:
Costs can be unpredictable due to varying funding rates
Potential for unexpected fees during high volatility periods
MortgageFi:
Predictable costs through fixed USD repayments
No hidden or fluctuating fees
Example Scenario
Imagine Alice and Bob both want to gain leveraged exposure to 3 ETH:
Alice uses GMX:
Opens a 3x leveraged long position on 1 ETH
Pays fluctuating funding rates, potentially eroding her position over time
Risks liquidation if ETH price drops sharply
Bob uses MortgageFi:
Borrows 2 ETH against his 1 ETH collateral
Makes fixed USD repayments, maintaining his 3 ETH exposure
Can hold his position long-term without fear of liquidation due to price fluctuations
MortgageFi offers a more stable, predictable, and potentially less risky way to gain leveraged exposure to crypto assets, especially for users looking to hold positions over longer periods.
