Binance Futures to Launch New Cross Collateral Feature

2020-02-05

Binance, the leading global cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is launching a new Cross Collateral feature on its Binance Futures trading platform.

Cross Collateral is an innovative model which allows users to trade futures using crypto assets from their Binance Exchange Wallet as collateral, without the need to sell any coins. The new feature allows traders to borrow USDT at 0% interest, using BUSD in their Exchange Wallet as collateral, and without having to transfer BUSD to their Futures wallet. The Cross Collateral feature will be available from February 5th, 2020 at 12:00 PM (UTC).  

“Cross Collateral is a much-anticipated feature for traders on Binance, allowing more flexibility and more choices of deposits to open futures positions,” said Aaron Gong, Director of Binance Futures. “Our initial Cross Collateral offering will be BUSD, our flagship stablecoin, and we will introduce additional accepted tokens in the near future.”

The Binance Futures platform offers users the opportunity to trade high leverage with 13 trading pairs and also hedge existing positions to better manage their risk. To date, users can trade BTC contracts with a leverage of up to 125x, the highest among major crypto exchanges.
