Is your Futures Grid bot “Running”? Have you seen the notice that the margin tiers will change tomorrow? According to Binance’s official announcement and public reports, adjustments to the **margin tiers** and leverage levels for USDⓈ-M perpetual contracts are scheduled around **2026-10-30 06:30 UTC** (about 14:30 Asia/Shanghai). The update is expected to take roughly an hour, and **already-open positions will also be affected**. This is not a buy or sell recommendation.
Honestly, if you stop at “just check the table again,” you might miss the impact on your grid. The notice says Futures Grid orders **may expire** due to the leverage and margin tier update. Check your grids and positions before the adjustment.
## What changes tomorrow at 06:30 UTC?
For Group 1, **APRUSDT·AIOUSDT·TRIAUSDT·WETUSDT·STBLUSDT**, the maximum leverage will change from around **50x → 25x**, and the maintenance margin rate (MMR) for the highest tier will change from about **1.50% → 2.00%**. Other tiers in the table will also change, so check the entire table for the relevant symbol.
For **IDOL·GOAT**, the roughly 21–25x tiers will be removed. For **Q·B2·AIA·CYS·DOS·TURTLE·AVAAI·TRADOOR**, the highest tiers, around 11–20x, will be removed. These are examples; **the official announcement is the source for the complete tables**.
## Will this affect positions I’ve already opened?
Yes. The announcement explicitly states that “existing positions opened before the update will also be affected.” It would be incorrect to assume that “only new orders will change, while old positions stay the same.”
The impact will vary depending on the symbol, notional size, and your current leverage. If the tier table changes, the maintenance margin and maximum available leverage may change. Go to Futures → **Positions** and check the leverage, margin, and liquidation distance for the relevant symbol again. If the menu is named differently, use the screen in your account as the reference.
## Could my Futures Grid expire?
According to the announcement, a **Futures Grid may expire** because of the leverage and margin tier update. Don’t assume that “the grid will automatically adjust to the new table.”
What I usually do:
- Go to Trading Bots → **Futures Grid** and check whether any Running symbols are on the list in this announcement.
- Open the grid’s leverage and margin mode settings to check that they match the new maximum leverage and MMR.
- If you’re unsure, stop the grid or save its parameters again **before** the change. This isn’t a recommendation to force a trade; it’s a reminder not to ignore the statement that it “may expire.”
If you only have manual positions, it’s often enough to recheck the numbers on the Positions screen. If you have the app and website open at the same time, one may still show the old table, so try refreshing after 06:30 UTC.
## What should I check before the adjustment?
You don’t need to memorize the whole table. Just check the symbols you hold.
- Futures → Positions: Check whether the leverage, maintenance margin, and liquidation price (or distance) match the current figures.
- Trading Bots → Futures Grid: Check the Running list and leverage settings.
- If you’re unsure, compare only the table for the relevant symbol in the original official announcement. If figures differ from mirrors or news reports, **use the original English version of the official announcement**.
It’s neither “lowering leverage automatically makes you safe” nor “if you don’t check the table, you’ll be liquidated immediately.” Today, we’re just clarifying the timing, scope of impact, and possibility that grids may expire.
## Frequently asked questions
**Q. Will my position be liquidated immediately if the margin tier changes?**
A. This announcement is about updates to the leverage and margin tier tables. It doesn’t describe a forced mass liquidation event. However, existing positions will also be affected, and changes to margin or tiers may affect liquidation distance, so check your position figures again.
**Q. Do I have to turn off my Futures Grid?**
A. The announcement only says to adjust it before the change because it “may expire.” It doesn’t mean you must always turn it off. If a Running symbol is on the list, it’s a good idea to check its parameters and leverage against the new table.
**Q. What time is 06:30 UTC in Korea?**
A. Around **14:30 Asia/Shanghai (UTC+8)**. The update may be reflected a few seconds off, so refresh the position and grid screens once around that time.
Leverage, margin tiers, and grid settings can change the numbers on screen even if only one cell in the table changes. Today’s guide covers the timing tomorrow and how to check existing positions and grids; it does not recommend buying or selling.
