# Oct-27-Futures Contracts: Leverage & Margin Tier Adjustment Notice

Effective Date: **October 27, 2025**

## Overview

To better maintain a high-quality trading market and adapt to dynamic risk management protocols, Koinbay is updating the leverage and margin tiers for several USDT-margined perpetual contracts, namely:

* ETH/USDT
* BNB/USDT
* XRP/USDT

{% hint style="warning" %}
Users with open positions in these contracts will be affected. Please review your margin ratio and position size to avoid potential forced liquidations.
{% endhint %}

Here is the full report including all relevant sections (or “tabs”) based on standard futures contract documentation practices for leverage and margin changes.

## Risk Warning

Please take the following actions to protect your account:

* **Review Margin Ratio:** Monitor your maintenance margin ratio to avoid unexpected liquidations.
* **Adjust Positions:** Users are advised to reduce high-risk exposures and rebalance existing positions.
* **Contract Grid Strategies:** These may be automatically terminated if new margin/leverage requirements are not met.

## Platform Adjustments

* **System Update Window:** Leverage tiers will update automatically across ETH/USDT, BNB/USDT, and XRP/USDT markets during the change window.
* **Temporary Limitations:** Certain trade types may be temporarily disabled during the 1-hour update process.
* **Monitoring Tools:** All changes will reflect in your Futures Dashboard in real time.

## Final Note

These changes aim to ensure platform safety, market integrity, and a smooth trading experience. We encourage all users to take proactive action to align with the new margin rules.
