Binance has announced an update to the leverage and margin tiers for its COAIUSDT USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contract, scheduled for October 16 at 6:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. UTC. The cryptocurrency exchange cautioned that existing positions and grid strategies might be impacted by these changes.
According to Binance's official support announcement, the adjustments are part of routine risk management updates. The notice specifies that "existing positions opened before the update will be affected," and warns that "futures running grid might expire" due to the new tiers. Users are urged to adjust their setups in advance. Binance also mentions that maintenance will take approximately one hour per window, aligning leverage parameters with current market conditions and internal risk controls.
The 06:30 (UTC) section of Binance’s announcement details changes in leverage for various notional brackets. The lowest bracket (0–5,000 USDT) will move from 21–50x leverage at a 1.50% maintenance margin to 11–20x leverage at 2.50%, eliminating the previous ultra-high-leverage option. Other brackets are also adjusted: 5,000–10,000 USDT becomes 6–10x with a 5.00% maintenance margin, while 10,000–60,000 USDT consolidates at 5x with a 10.00% margin. Larger tiers shift as well, with changes in both leverage and maintenance margins across different ranges.
