Binance to Update Collateral Ratios and Leverage Tiers in May 2026

According to the announcement from Binance, significant updates to collateral ratios and leverage tiers are scheduled for May 1, 2026.

The collateral ratio for assets such as STX, APT, CFX, GRT, MANA, SUSHI, TIA, W, WLD, ZRO, and ASTER will be adjusted from 40% to 30%, with ASTER seeing an increase from 10% to 30%. These adjustments are set to take place at 06:00 (UTC) and are expected to be completed within 30 minutes. In the PM Pro category, the collateral ratio for INJ will be modified across different rank floors and caps. For instance, the collateral ratio for positions between $800,000 and $1,200,000 will decrease from 100% to 95%, while positions between $1,200,000 and $2,000,000 will see a reduction from 95% to 75%. These changes are designed to optimize the trading environment and risk management for users. Additionally, Binance Futures will update the leverage and margin tiers for several USD-M Perpetual Contracts, including ZENUSDT, EIGENUSDT, 0GUSDT, SUSDT, AUSDT, GALAUSDT, FFUSDT, and EIGENUSDT.

Users with existing positions should be aware that these changes may affect their current leverage and margin settings, potentially leading to the expiration of futures running grids. It is advised that users adjust their positions accordingly to avoid any potential liquidation or losses. The collateral ratio changes will also impact the Unified Maintenance Margin Ratio (uniMMR), necessitating close monitoring by users to manage their risk effectively.
