Binance updates collateral ratio rules for cross margin and portfolio margin accounts.
Macro & Markets ·
Binance has updated collateral ratio requirements for cross margin and portfolio margin accounts, according to an announcement dated October 23, 2026. The changes modify how collateral is valued and weighted when calculating margin maintenance levels across these account types.
Cross margin and portfolio margin accounts rely on collateral ratios to determine borrowing capacity and liquidation thresholds. Adjusting these ratios affects how much leverage users can access and at what point their positions become subject to forced closure. The update appears aimed at recalibrating risk management parameters across Binance's margin trading infrastructure.
The announcement does not specify the magnitude of the ratio changes, which assets are affected, or the effective date beyond the announcement date itself. Whether the update applies uniformly to both account types or includes differentiated treatment remains unclear from the available information.
