How Does Leverage Work in Binance?

Binance offers several different ways to trade with leverage. You can trade with leverage on the spot market, margin trading, and derivatives trading.

Each of these types of trading has different rules and requirements.

Spot Market:

The spot market is the most basic type of trading on Binance. You simply buy or sell an asset at the current market price. You can trade with leverage on the spot market by using a margin account.

A margin account allows you to borrow money from Binance to place trades. The amount of leverage you can get depends on the asset you are trading and your account history with Binance.

NOTE: WARNING: Leverage trading can be highly risky and is not suitable for all investors. Leverage on Binance is provided by third party providers and is not directly provided or insured by Binance. Leverage trading carries a high degree of risk, including the potential to lose more than your initial investment. You should only use leverage if you understand the risks involved and have sufficient capital to cover any potential losses.

Margin Trading:

Margin trading is similar to spot trading, but you can use leverage to place trades. Margin trading allows you to borrow money from Binance to place trades.

The amount of leverage you can get depends on the asset you are trading and your account history with Binance.

Derivatives Trading:

Derivatives trading is a bit more complex than spot or margin trading. Derivatives are financial contracts that derive their value from an underlying asset. For example, you can trade derivatives based on the price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other asset that is traded on Binance. The most common type of derivative is a futures contract.

Futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell an asset at a future date for a fixed price. You can trade with leverage on derivatives by using a margin account.
