Notes:

• It is important to note that the maintenance margin change will directly affect liquidation price. Users who hold existing positions of USDⓈ-M APTUSDT Perpetual Contracts will be affected. To avoid being liquidated (i.e., margin ratio hits 100%), please add more margin to your USDⓈ-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 rates of USDⓈ-M APTUSDT Perpetual Contracts. For more details on funding rate, please refer to Introduction to Binance Futures Funding Rates.
• Where any discrepancy arises between the translated versions and the original English version, the English version shall prevail.
