How Do Binance Leveraged Tokens Work?

Binance Leveraged Tokens, or BLVT, are a new type of cryptocurrency token that allows users to trade with leverage on the Binance spot market. Leveraged trading is a type of trading that allows users to trade with borrowed money, which can help them to make bigger profits – but also comes with the risk of bigger losses.

BLVT tokens are ERC20 tokens that are backed by Binance Coin (BNB). Each BLVT token is worth 1/10th of a BNB. When users buy BLVT tokens, they are essentially borrowing BNB from Binance and using it to trade on the spot market.

The interest rate for borrowing BNB is currently 0.02% per day.

BLVT tokens are designed to automatically liquidate when the price of the underlying asset (in this case, BNB) falls below a certain level. This is known as the Liquidation Price.

NOTE: WARNING: Investing in leveraged tokens involves a high degree of risk and can result in significant losses. Leveraged tokens are highly volatile and magnify both profits and losses. They are not suitable for all investors, so please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved before investing. Leveraged tokens are not intended to be used as a long-term investment vehicle, and should only be used by experienced traders who understand the risks associated with leveraged trading products.

The Liquidation Price is calculated using a formula that takes into account the leverage ratio, the price of the underlying asset, and the interest rate for borrowing BNB.

For example, let’s say that you buy 1 BLVT token with 3x leverage when BNB is trading at $100. This means that you are effectively borrowing 2 BNB from Binance (1 BLVT token = 1/10th of a BNB). The Liquidation Price for your position would be $93.33.

This means that if the price of BNB falls below $93.33, your position will be automatically liquidated and you will lose all of your investment.

BLVT tokens are a new and innovative way to trade cryptocurrencies with leverage. However, it is important to remember that leveraged trading comes with a high degree of risk.

You should only trade with money that you can afford to lose.
