Bitget to revise margin and leverage tiers for 18 perpetual futures pairs on July 2 and July 3

Bitget said it will adjust leverage, position tiers and maintenance margin rates for an additional nine USDT-margined perpetual futures contracts at 09:00 UTC on July 3, 2026, expanding an earlier set of tier revisions announced for nine other perpetual pairs at 11:00 UTC on July 2. The newly added contracts are UMAUSDT, XPINUSDT, XANUSDT, VELODROMEUSDT, STBLUSDT, SOMIUSDT, RECALLUSDT, GLMUSDT and ETHWUSDT. New positions in those pairs will adopt the updated tier standards immediately, while existing positions opened before the update will move to the new framework at 09:00 UTC on July 6, 2026. Bitget warned users to add margin or reduce exposure in advance to avoid liquidation, said maintenance margin rates may temporarily display above 100% because position data will be recalculated under the revised standards, and added that trading bots running positions or leverage above the adjusted parameters may be terminated. The earlier margin-tier changes cover XPDUSDT, VRTUSDT, SQQQUSDT, OKLOUSDT, NIOUSDT, LWLGUSDT, KLACUSDT, CSCOUSDT and APPUSDT, with existing positions there shifting to the new framework at 11:00 UTC on July 2, 2026. In a separate notice, Bitget also said it will widen funding rate limits for IOTXUSDT, MANTAUSDT, METISUSDT, KASUSDT, MOVRUSDT, LISTAUSDT and ETHWUSDT at 2026-07-03 16:00. For all seven pairs, the maximum and minimum funding rates will be widened to +2.0000% and -2.0000% from +1.5000% and -1.5000%, while funding rate intervals will remain unchanged at 8 for IOTXUSDT and 4 for MANTAUSDT, METISUSDT, KASUSDT, MOVRUSDT, LISTAUSDT and ETHWUSDT.
