The world’s largest crypto exchange Binance on Monday said it will adjust the leverage and margin tiers of some crypto perpetual contacts including 1000LUNCUSDT perpetual contract. LUNC traders responded immediately after Binance’s announcement. LUNC price has now rallied 18% this week.
The maintenance margin is the total amount of crypto that must remain in a deposit account in order to hold an investment or trading position.
According to an official announcement by Binance on November 6, Binance Futures will change the leverage, margin tiers, and capped funding rate of multiple perpetual contracts.
“Existing positions opened before the update will be affected. It is strongly advised to adjust the position and leverage prior to the adjustment in order to avoid any potential liquidation, as per Binance.”
Binance has changed the maintenance margin rates for 1000LUNCUSDT perpetual contact 0-5000 positions, with no changes in leverage of 21-50x. It requires traders to hold more LUNC in deposit accounts for perpetual trading.
Meanwhile, Binance has also changed leverage and margin tiers for crypto perpetuals including TOMOUSDT, MINAUSDT, YFIUSDT, KLAYUSDT, ZILUSDT, QTUMUSDT, ENSUSDT, KSMUSDT, ONTUSDT, and SUSHIUSDT.
