The latest update from crypto exchange titan Binance has left traders speculating over a potential price impact on 10 crypto assets. An official press release by the exchange on Saturday, April 12, revealed that the collateral ratio of 10 tokens under portfolio margin is being updated. These tokens include DENT, ENJ, NOT, DASH, CHZ, AXS, ENS, SAND, THETA, and QNT.
According to a recent Binance announcement, collateral ratios for the abovementioned crypto tokens will primarily be reduced shortly ahead. The exchange revealed that the new ratios will be visible on the platform starting April 18 at 06:00 UTC. This phenomenon raises market concerns as lower collateral ratios mean reduced borrowing power.
Market participants can use less of these assets’ value as collateral. This also shrinks their margin buying power, limiting their ability to open or maintain trade positions. Broadly speaking, the impact could be forced portfolio adjustments as market participants look to mitigate potential losses.
Binance added that the update will also affect the Unified Maintenance Margin Ratio (uniMMR). “Users should monitor uniMMR closely to avoid any potential liquidation or losses that may result from the change of collateral ratio,” the leading crypto exchange notified.
As mentioned above, the new update ignited cautious investor sentiments about the assets’ prices due to the downsized market and trade offerings. Nevertheless, most of the mentioned crypto tokens have traded in the green against the backdrop of the broader crypto market trend.
DENT price was up by 3% and traded at $0.0006567. ENJ price also jumped over 2% and exchanged hands at $0.06690. NOT price witnessed a slight 1% increase in value, closing in at $0.001882. DASH price was also up nearly 2% to $20.69.
ENS price soared nearly 3% and exchanged hands at $14.37. SAND price likewise gained nearly 0.5% to reach $0.2609. Also, QNT price surged roughly 2.5% and is currently sitting at $65.77. On the other hand, tokens like CHZ, AXS, and THETA traded in red territory. Market watchers continue to thoroughly eye the tokens for price action shifts ahead.
It’s also worth mentioning that Binance has revealed plans to list ONDO, VIRTUAL, and BIGTIME tokens recently, further revolutionizing its trade offerings.
