How Does Binance Leveraged Tokens Work?

Binance Leveraged Tokens (BLVT) are a new type of token that allows users to trade with leverage on the Binance platform. BLVTs are ERC20 tokens that are backed by Binance’s native token, BNB.

Each BLVT represents a position in a underlying asset, with the leverage ratio determined by the token’s price. For example, a 2x BLVT would give the holder two times the exposure to the underlying asset.

BLVTs are designed to offer traders an easy way to get exposure to leverage trading without having to go through the hassle of setting up margin accounts or dealing with complex order types. Leveraged tokens also offer some advantages over traditional margin trading, such as being able to trade 24/7 and not being subject to margin calls.

To trade BLVTs, users first need to deposit BNB into their Binance account. Once they have done this, they can then purchase BLVTs using the Binance DEX.

NOTE: WARNING: Trading with leveraged tokens can be highly risky and may result in significant losses. You should only use leverage if you understand the risks involved and know how to manage them. Binance Leveraged Tokens are designed to provide investors with amplified exposure to the underlying asset’s price movements, but these tokens are not meant to be used as a buy-and-hold investment. Leveraged Tokens are subject to market volatility, leverage reset events, and other risks that may adversely affect their value. Please do your own due diligence before investing in Leveraged Tokens and make sure you understand all of the associated risks.

The process is similar to buying any other ERC20 token on the Binance DEX.

Once they have purchased BLVTs, users can then trade them on the Binance Futures platform. The leverage ratio for each contract will be displayed on the order screen.

For example, if a trader wants to trade a 2x leverage contract, they would need to select “2x” from the leverage drop-down menu.

Trading with leverage is a risky proposition and should only be done by experienced traders. However, for those that are comfortable with taking on more risk, leveraged tokens offer a way to amplify their gains (or losses).
