You can access up to 4x leverage without the friction of moving funds manually. More capital. More freedom. Right when you need it.What Is Binance Institutional Loans & How Does It Work?Unlike standard Margin and Futures products that rely on collateral from a single account, Binance Institutional Loans offer far greater flexibility. Borrowed funds are received in a dedicated sub-account set up with Portfolio Margin, Portfolio Margin Pro or Cross Margin, offering you access to advanced trading features and high capital efficiency.Ā Collateral can be pooled from up to ten linked sub-accounts, which may include any combination of Spot, Cross Margin, and Portfolio Margin accounts. Together, they form a risk unit, with the loan secured against the total net equity.Based on the type and amount of collateral pledged, you can secure Institutional Loans ranging from 1 to 10 million USDC or USDT stablecoins. These funds can be utilized to trade across Margin and Futures markets with up to 4x leverage.Ā Institutional Loans recognize a comprehensive list of over 400 collateral assets across the three account types.
