Date: June 13, 2025
Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced key updates to its Portfolio Margin Program and the Leverage & Margin Tiers for USDⓈ-Margined (USDⓈ-M) perpetual contracts. These changes are designed to enhance risk management efficiency and optimize capital utilization for users trading derivatives.
1. Collateral Ratio Adjustment Under Portfolio Margin
What’s Changing?
Effective June 13, 2025, Binance will revise the Collateral Ratio for selected assets used under its Portfolio Margin framework. The Collateral Ratio determines how much notional value a particular asset contributes toward margin requirements when used as collateral.
Why It Matters:
Improved Risk Control: By refining the collateral value of assets, Binance aims to better reflect market volatility and liquidity risk.
Optimized Capital Efficiency: Traders will see more accurate margin requirements aligned with asset stability and trading behavior.
Impacted Assets:
The changes apply to select cryptocurrencies, especially altcoins and stablecoins with higher volatility or limited liquidity. Specific ratio changes will be reflected on the Binance Portfolio Margin collateral page upon rollout.
2. Updates to Leverage and Margin Tiers for USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contracts
What’s Changing?
Adjustments will be made to the leverage limits and maintenance margin tiers for several USDⓈ-M perpetual contracts. These changes may include:
Lower maximum leverage for selected contracts to reduce liquidation risk.
Revised notional position thresholds for each margin tier to reflect current market conditions.
Adjusted maintenance margin rates in higher tiers to account for increased exposure.
Key Contracts Affected (Examples):
BTCUSDT
ETHUSDT
SOLUSDT
Other high-volume and volatile perpetual pairs
Impact on Traders:
Traders with large open positions should review their margin levels carefully.
