III. Tiered MMR Rules Adjustment

1. Date: 7:00 on August 18, 2020(UTC)

2. In order to further increase the position limits and enhance the market liquidity, we will adjust the tiered maintenance margin ratio rules of the Futures/swap. Details as follows:

Contract

Step size to next tier (contracts)

Basic maintenance margin ratio

Basic initial margin ratio

LINKUSD、LINKUSDT Futures/Swap

10,000

10,000

1.5%

3.0%

Tier Calculation:

Parameters

Formula

Example (BTCUSDT Perpetual Swap)

Max. contracts for a tier

Tier-1 max. open contracts + tiers increased * step size

Tier 3:10,000+2*10,000=30,000

Maintenance margin ratio for a tier

Basic maintenance margin ratio + tiers increased * maintenance margin ratio increased

Tier 3:1.5%+2*0.5%=2.5%

Initial margin ratio for a tier

Basic initial margin ratio + tiers increased * initial margin ratio increased

Tier 3:3.0%+2*0.5%=4.0%

Max. leverage level for a tier

1 / initial margin ratio of the tier

Tier 3:1 / 3.0%=33.33

Thank you for your support and we assure you of our best services at all times.
