Binance Futures is updating the tiered margin structure for the ETH/USDT Perpetual Contract, effective September 22, 2026, at 00:00 UTC, in response to recent extreme market volatility.

Updated Margin Tiers

TierNotional ValueMax LeverageMaintenance Margin
10 – $10,000125x0.40%
2$10,000 – $50,000100x0.50%
3$50,000 – $250,00050x1.00%
4$250,000 – $1,000,00020x2.50%
5$1,000,000+10x5.00%

Why This Change?

Tiered margin rates are periodically reviewed and adjusted to reflect current market conditions. During periods of heightened volatility, tighter margin requirements help protect users from excessive losses and reduce systemic risk across the platform.

Impact on Existing Positions

  • Positions below the new tier thresholds are not affected
  • Positions exceeding the new notional limits will see their maximum leverage reduced
  • Users near liquidation thresholds may need to add margin or reduce position size

    • Recommended Actions

  • Review your current ETH/USDT futures positions
  • Check if your leverage exceeds the new tier limits
  • Add margin or reduce position size if necessary before September 22

    • For questions, contact Binance Futures support through the official app or website.
