In compliance with MiCA requirements, unauthorized stablecoins are subject to certain restrictions for EEA users.

USDⓈ-M Futures trading supports placing orders with "Initial Margin" to accommodate the diverse trading preferences of users.

Users can now place orders by selecting their preferred unit. In the order form under [Amount], tap on the unit to input the order size. This choice determines whether the order quantity and position quantity are displayed in the base asset or quote asset on the interface.

Base Asset:

  • Users can input and display orders in the base asset, such as BTC.
  • The quantity for base asset orders includes leverage in the order amount.

Quote Asset:

  • Users can input and display orders in the quote asset, such as USDT.
  • The quantity for quote asset orders includes leverage in the order amount.

Initial Margin:

  • Under the quote asset, such as USDT, select [Initial Margin] and enter the initial margin amount to place an order.
  • The quantity for initial margin orders does not include leverage.
Example

If a user places 100 USDT in the [Amount] section of the order form:

  • Quote Asset (USDT): An order of 100 USDT will equal 100 USDT in order size since it includes leverage.
  • Initial margin: If the user inputs 100 USDT as initial margin and selects 10x leverage, the order size will be 1,000 USDT (100*10).
