Binance has announced forthcoming changes to collateral ratios for Portfolio Margin and adjustments to leverage and margin tiers for several USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contracts. These changes will take effect from August 26 to 29, 2025.

According to Binance, the Portfolio Margin feature allows users to use multiple supported crypto assets as collateral, enhancing flexibility and capital efficiency in futures and margin trading. The collateral ratio—the percentage of collateral value recognized for margin—directly influences the unified maintenance margin ratio (uniMMR), which determines liquidation risk thresholds. These updates are part of Binance’s ongoing risk management efforts to adjust margin requirements in line with market dynamics and safeguard the stability of margin trading environments.

Effective August 26, 2025, Binance will increase collateral ratios for several assets: TRX from 50% to 85%, SUI from 60% to 70%, and WBTC from 50% to 70%. Other tokens such as SPK, CYBER, API3, ZEN, UMA, JST, and NXPC will see increases ranging from 10–30 percentage points. These enhancements provide traders greater collateral recognition from those assets, thereby increasing purchasing power under the Portfolio Margin program.

On August 29, Binance will reduce collateral ratios for specific assets: MASK and APE will decrease from 50% to 40%, XEC and DASH from 45% to 35%, and DYDX and 1000SATS from 35% to 20%. Additionally, Binance will adjust leverage and maintenance margin tiers for USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contracts like WLDUSDT and IPUSDT starting August 26 at 06:30 UTC—updates that may affect existing positions and require user rebalancing. These changes aim to recalibrate risk based on asset performance and position sizes, reinforcing platform resilience.

According to Binance’s official corporate overview, the platform was established in 2017 and has since become the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. Serving millions globally, Binance offers a suite of services including spot and derivatives trading, staking, lending, institutional products, and Web3 infrastructure. Regular updates to collateral ratios and margin tiers underscore Binance’s proactive risk management strategies and commitment to maintaining a secure trading environment.
