The exchange said new tier standards will apply immediately to new positions and from Aug. 7 to existing positions across contracts including TRUMP, STX, SAND, RENDER, BANK and ALGO.
Bitget said it will adjust leverage, position tiers and maintenance margin rates for nine perpetual futures pairs at 14:00 UTC on Aug. 4, 2026, with existing positions also affected. The changes cover TRUMPUSDT, TRUMPUSDC, STXUSDT, STXUSDC, SANDUSDT, RENDERUSDT, BANKUSDT, ALGOUSDT and ALGOUSDC. New positions will use the revised standards immediately, while existing positions will shift to the new tiers on Aug. 7 at 14:00 UTC. The exchange warned users to top up margin or reduce positions in advance to avoid liquidation, noting that maintenance margin rates may temporarily display above 100% under the recalculated standards. Bitget also said trading bots running positions or leverage above the revised limits may be terminated unless adjusted beforehand.
