In addition, Binance Futures has started updating the Maintenance Margin of COIN-M futures contracts periodically. The adjustment is expected to be completed in 10 weeks. The implementation times for this week are 2021-04-06 9:00 AM (UTC) and 2021-04-08 9:00 AM (UTC). To avoid being liquidated, please add more margin to your COIN-M Futures account or reduce your positions.
It is important to note that the maintenance margin change will directly affect liquidation price. Users who held the existing position of the above Coin-margined Contracts will be affected. To avoid being liquidated (i.e. margin ratio hits 100%), please add more margin to your COIN-M Futures account or reduce your positions. It is recommended to control the margin ratio below 80%.

- Please actively monitor your account status and evaluate the risk level of your account. It is strongly recommended that users add margin or reduce their positions to avoid liquidation before the account margin balance drops to the maintenance margin level.
