Binance has announced adjustments to leverage limits for lead trader public portfolios on its Futures Copy Trading platform, effective January 17, 2025, at 00:00 UTC. The changes aim to enhance risk management for portfolios with significant assets under management (AUM).

Key Updates:

  • New Leverage Limits: Lead trader portfolios with active copy traders’ AUM exceeding 400,000 USDT will have their leverage capped at 10x.

  • No Impact Below Threshold: Lead traders with AUM below 400,000 USDT remain unaffected by the adjustment.

  • Previous Policy: The leverage limit for portfolios with AUM above 100,000 USDT was capped at 5x, which is now raised to 10x for higher AUM portfolios.
