Except for the assets listed in the table above, tiered maintenance margin ratio rules for perpetual swap in other currencies are not adjusted this time.

Tier Calculation:

Parameters

Formula

Example (BTCUSDT Perpetual Swap)

Max. contracts for a tier

Tier-1 max. open contracts + tiers increased * step size

Tier 3: 1,000+2*10,000=21,000

Maintenance margin ratio for a tier

Basic maintenance margin ratio + tiers increased * maintenance margin ratio increased

Tier 3: 0.5% + 2 * 0.5% = 1.5%

Initial margin ratio for a tier

Basic initial margin ratio + tiers increased * initial margin ratio increased

Tier 3: 1.0% + 2 * 0.5% = 2.0%

Max. leverage level for a tier

1 / initial margin ratio of the tier

Tier 3: 1 / 2.0% = 50.00

Current Tier Maintenance Margin Ratio Schedule as follows:
Coin-margined and USDT-margined perpetual swap
