In a Unified Trading Account, all supported collateral assets are valued in USD. This USD value serves as the margin balance, which can be used for trading. Due to varying liquidity conditions of each crypto asset, these assets may be valued at a discounted rate using a "Collateral Value Ratio." This ratio determines the percentage at which an asset is recognized as collateral.

 

 

 

 

How Collateral Value Ratio Affect Margin Balance

In Cross Margin mode, the Margin Balance is calculated as:

Total Wallet Balance (in USD) =  Sum (Asset 1 × USD Index Price × Collateral Value Ratio + Asset 2 × USD Index Price × Collateral Value Ratio + … + Asset N × USD Index Price × Collateral Value Ratio)

 

Notes:

— The Collateral Value Ratio only applies to assets with a positive balance. For assets with a negative balance default to a 100% collateral value ratio.

— Traders can customize which assets to be served as collateral. For more information, please refer here.

 

 

 

Example Calculation

Assume the tiered value rates of BTC and USDC are shown as follows:

 

 

 

Trader A’s Unified Trading Account has the following assets:

 

 

Total margin balance = 2,240,000-9,500 ≈ 2,230,500 USD

 

Therefore, the total amount available as margin for this account is approximately 2,230,500 USD.
