Bitget updates margin risk parameters across collateral assets and perpetual futures

The exchange said June 17-21 changes will cut collateral ratios for H, MYX, LABNEW and SKYAI and revise leverage, position tiers and maintenance margin settings for eight perpetual futures pairs.

Fact Check
The official Bitget support article confirms the central, distinctive part of the claim: Bitget is cutting collateral ratios for H, MYX, LAB (claim's 'LABNEW'), and SKYAI from 0.1 to 0.05 effective 2026-06-17, with maintenance margin implications. This matches the claim's collateral asset list and the June 17 timing. Bitget was also concurrently revising perpetual futures leverage/position tiers/maintenance margin (confirmed for SPCXUSDT via BlockBeats), consistent with the claim's perpetual-futures component, though I could not independently verify the exact count of 'eight perpetual futures pairs' or the full June 17-21 window. The claim is largely corroborated by the official source; minor unverified specifics keep confidence at medium.

Summary

Bitget announced two separate risk-parameter updates in June 2026. In unified trading accounts, it will cut collateral ratios for H, MYX, LABNEW and SKYAI to 0.05 from 0.1 at 04:00 UTC on June 17 across holdings from 0 to 1,000,000, while ratios for holdings above 1,000,000 remain 0. Separately, at 10:00 UTC on June 18, Bitget will revise leverage limits, position tiers and maintenance margin rates for TRUSTUSDT, THEUSDT, SANTOSUSDT, RESOLVUSDT, ORDIUSDT, ORDIUSDC, MAVUSDT and DIAUSDT; new positions will use the updated standards immediately and existing positions will shift on June 21. Bitget warned both changes may increase maintenance margin requirements and liquidation risk, and said users should add margin, reduce or close positions, and adjust any affected trading bots in advance.

Terms & Concepts
  • collateral ratio: Percentage of an asset's value that an exchange recognizes as margin in an account.
  • position tiers: Risk-limit bands for derivatives positions, with each band carrying its own leverage and margin requirements.
  • maintenance margin rate: Minimum margin level required to keep a position open before liquidation risk increases.
