ETC 75 % 65 %
ATOM 75 % 65 %
ALGO 70 % 60 %

ALICE 50 % 35 %

🔍 What This Means for Traders
Portfolio Margin users: Using assets like XLM, ETC, ATOM, etc., demands more capital post-update.
Futures traders on ATHUSDT: Your allowed leverage hasn't changed, but you'll need larger account equity to access each tier. Be extra cautious before placing new positions, and adjust margin accordingly.
Existing positions: All live trades will transition to the new rules— you won't be liquidated just for the update, but margin requirements might change relative to your position size .

✅ Quick Recommendations
1. Check your collateral: Assets like XLM, ETC, etc. now offer less collateral value—don’t get caught short on margin.
2. Reassess futures trades: Larger ATHUSDT positions may now require more initial margin. Use Binance’s margin calculator to verify.
3. Avoid margin surprises: Higher maintenance margin = greater risk of liquidation if positions move against you.
