Binance has removed the 10,000 USDT minimum balance requirement for Portfolio Margin accounts, allowing all users to trade with over 350 collateral assets.
In a significant move to enhance accessibility for its users, Binance has announced the removal of the minimum wallet balance requirement for Portfolio Margin accounts. Previously, users were required to maintain a minimum balance of 10,000 USDT in their Cross Margin and Futures Wallets to access Portfolio Margin. This requirement has now been lifted, according to Binance.
Expanded Access to Portfolio Margin
The removal of the minimum balance requirement is part of Binance’s broader initiative to make its Portfolio Margin product more accessible to a larger user base. With this change, regular users can now open Portfolio Margin accounts and engage in trading USDⓈ-M Futures, COIN-M Futures, and Cross Margin products using over 350 collateral assets. This development potentially broadens the trading opportunities for many users who previously might not have met the balance criteria.
How to Enable Portfolio Margin
To take advantage of the updated Portfolio Margin offering, users can enable the feature on the Binance Futures and Binance Margin trading pages. Detailed instructions on activating the Portfolio Margin Mode can be found in the Binance support section. This feature allows users to manage their collateral more effectively and engage in advanced trading strategies.
Considerations and Risks
While the removal of the minimum balance requirement opens up new possibilities for traders, Binance cautions users about the inherent risks involved in margin trading. The platform emphasizes that digital asset prices can be volatile, and futures trading, in particular, carries high market risks. Users are advised to assess their investment decisions carefully and consult financial advisors if necessary.
The decision to eliminate the minimum balance requirement underscores Binance’s commitment to providing flexible and user-friendly trading solutions. By extending Portfolio Margin to a wider audience, Binance aims to enhance the trading experience and competitive edge of its platform.
