Bitget will change the collateral ratios for TAO in unified trading accounts at 10:00 UTC on Aug. 27, 2026. A collateral ratio determines how much borrowing capacity an asset provides against its value. The adjustment may increase maintenance margin rates for positions using TAO as collateral, raising liquidation risk if users do not add margin or reduce exposure. Before the change, the listed collateral ratios range from 0.60 for 0 to 1,000 TAO to 0 for amounts above 250,000 TAO. Afterward, the schedule ranges from 0.80 for 0 to 5,000 TAO to 0 for amounts above 500,000 TAO. Bitget recommends that users manage risk in advance by closing or reducing positions or topping up margin. The exchange also warns that cryptocurrencies carry high market risk and volatility and advises users to conduct their own research and invest at their own risk.
