Bitget will revise leverage limits and maintenance margin rates for USDT in its UTA (unified trading account) system on September 22, 2026, at 04:00 UTC+0. The new schedule changes the position-size bands while retaining the listed leverage and maintenance-margin levels across the tiers, including leverage from 10x to 1x and maintenance margin rates from 2.50% to 40%. Bitget warned that the maintenance margin rate for positions using USDT as collateral may increase during the change, raising liquidation risk for inadequately margined accounts. Users were advised to close or reduce positions or add margin before the adjustment. Positions will follow the new tier standards after the change, and Bitget reminded users that cryptocurrencies carry high market risk and volatility.
