Binance Issues Key Update On These 6 Crypto, What’s Happening?

Cryptocurrency exchange giant Binance again captured noteworthy investor attention as it unveiled a key announcement on six cryptos this Monday. The crypto exchange revealed that the collateral ratio for CELO, IOTX, LRC, ALICE, AUDIO, & ICX tokens under the portfolio margin will be updated shortly ahead. As a response, market watchers speculate over the update’s impact on prices as the new offerings provide less market value.

Binance Reduces Collateral Ratio For 6 Crypto Tokens

In an official Binance announcement dated March 10, the crypto exchange revealed that it will reduce the collateral ratio for six tokens under the margin portfolio starting March 14 at 06:00 UTC. As per the announcement, this update will be completed in just an hour.

Here Are The Updated Collateral Ratio For 6 Crypto:

CELO

• The collateral ratio is to be reduced from 80% to 70%.

IoTeX (IOTX)

• Binance revealed that IOTX collateral ratio is to be reduced from 80% to 70%.

Loopring (LRC)

• Loopring collateral ratio is to be reduced from 80% to 65%, per the update.

MyNeighborAlice (ALICE)

• ALICE’s collateral ratio is to be reduced from 80% to 65%.

Audius (AUDIO)

• The collateral ratio is to be reduced from 70% to 55%.

ICON (ICX)

• ICX collateral ratio is to be reduced from 70% to 55%.

For context, a decline in this ratio signals reduced collateral value, thereby limiting the borrowing capacity of these tokens. As a result, these assets could see a decline in investor interaction and trading volumes due to reduced offerings on one of the top crypto exchanges.

What’s More?

Binance added that the collateral ratio will affect ‘Unified Maintenance Margin Ratio (uniMMR)’ as well. Platform users should monitor the update closely to mitigate any losses potentially resulting from the abovementioned change.
