Updates on Leverage and Margin Tiers of Binance Futures Contracts (2022-09-13)

2022-09-13

Fellow Binancians,

Binance Futures will adjust the margin tiers of the ETH USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contracts and ETH COIN-M Perpetual Contracts with new leverage and margin tiers, as reflected in the tables below. The timeline for the upcoming adjustments is as follows:

  • Leverage and margin tiers of ETHUSDT Perpetual Contracts will be updated on 2022-09-13 at 07:00 (UTC).
  • Leverage and margin tiers of ETHUSD Perpetual Contracts will be updated on 2022-09-13 at 07:30 (UTC).

Position value and maintenance margin will be adjusted for the first two tiers. Existing positions opened before the updates will be affected. It is strongly advised to adjust the position and leverage prior to the adjustment in order to avoid any potential liquidation.

Notes:

  • It is important to note that the maintenance margin change will directly affect liquidation price. Users who held existing positions of these USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contracts or COIN-M Perpetual Contracts will be affected. To avoid being liquidated (i.e. margin ratio hits 100%), please add more margin to your USDⓈ-M or COIN-M Futures account or reduce your positions. It is recommended to control the margin ratio below 80%.
  • Maintenance margin rate change will affect the funding rate. Capped Funding Rate = clamp (Funding Rate, -0.75 * Maintenance Margin Ratio, 0.75 * Maintenance Margin Ratio). For more details on funding rate, please refer to Introduction to Binance Futures Funding Rates.
