Binance is excited to announce the expansion of its Portfolio Margin feature to non-VIP users for the first time. Previously only available to VIP 1-9 users — requiring a 30-day Spot trade volume of at least $1M, or $15M for Futures — Portfolio Margin is now accessible to non-VIP users with a minimum balance of 100,000 USDT in their cross margin and futures wallets.

By making advanced trading tools more accessible, we aim to enhance capital efficiency and simplify portfolio management for more traders. Extending Portfolio Margin to a broader audience is another step forward in supporting traders in leveraging their strategies more effectively, regardless of VIP status.

Along with this expansion, we’re also taking the opportunity to introduce a new Portfolio Margin wallet to further streamline your trading experience. This merges the previously separate USDⓈ-M Futures, COIN-M Futures, and Cross Margin wallets into one unified wallet, simplifying portfolio management like never before.

What is Portfolio Margin?

Portfolio Margin is an enhancement for experienced traders, allowing the use of a variety of assets as collateral to leverage positions across multiple products. On Binance, for example, the Portfolio Margin mode enables the use of multiple supported assets from USDⓈ-M Futures, COIN-M Futures and Cross Margin wallets as collateral. 

In short, Portfolio Margin distinguishes itself from traditional margin trading by considering the collective risk of your entire portfolio rather than individual positions. The result is increased capital efficiency and greater strategic flexibility.

Expanding Portfolio Margin to non-VIP users with at least 100,000 USDT in their cross margin and futures wallets means we’re making this advanced trading tool available to a much broader group, empowering them to explore new strategies and opportunities. 

A Single, Unified Portfolio Margin Wallet

In addition to increasing the number of users who can access this feature, we’re also unveiling a new Portfolio Margin wallet to enhance and simplify the user experience.

This update consolidates Cross Margin, USDⓈ-M Futures, and COIN-M Futures wallets into a single, unified wallet, thereby simplifying portfolio management, and enabling you to manage your collateral and monitor risk across different trading products from one central location. It eliminates the need to switch between wallets to transfer collateral or assess margin usage, streamlining operations for faster market response.

The emphasis here is on flexibility, efficiency, and a more user-friendly experience. With the integrated wallet system, the update aims to equip traders with the tools and adaptability needed to effectively navigate the crypto markets with greater confidence.

Benefits of Binance’s Updated Portfolio Margin Program

Portfolio Margin introduces benefits that enhance trading for any users who qualify, making it easier to leverage market movements and manage portfolios.

Capital Efficiency: By using a broader range of assets as collateral, without manually converting for each position, traders can maximize their potential. 

Simplified Management: Merging Cross Margin, USDⓈ-M Futures, and COIN-M Futures wallets into one unified wallet streamlines portfolio management. This eliminates the need for fund transfers between wallets to meet margin requirements, reducing transaction times and the potential for error. 

Enhanced Trading Potential: Portfolio Margin users can combine their margin collateral for a wide range of up to 878 trading pairs, including cross margin pairs and futures contracts. This array of opportunities, along with the largest selection of collateral assets, opens up various strategies, from arbitrage to hedging.

Unified Risk Management Tool: Improved risk assessment comes from unified maintenance margin requirements, offering a clearer view of overall risk exposure. This approach allows traders to navigate and manage risk more effectively with an elevated tool..
