Binance has announced an update to the collateral ratios for several assets under its Portfolio Margin program.
The update will take effect on March 28, 2025, at 06:00 (UTC) and is expected to last one hour. The changes will impact the Unified Maintenance Margin Ratio (uniMMR), requiring users to monitor their accounts closely to avoid potential liquidation.
According to an official statement published on March 24, 2025, the collateral ratios for six cryptocurrencies will be reduced. Curve DAO Token (CRV) and Uniswap (UNI) will see their collateral ratios drop from 85% to 80%, while Algorand (ALGO) will decrease from 85% to 75%. Kusama (KSM) will be lowered from 80% to 70%, Tezos (XTZ) from 75% to 60%, and eCash (XEC) from 70% to 55%.
Collateral ratios determine how much an asset contributes to a user’s margin maintenance level. Lowering these ratios means that these assets will provide less support in Portfolio Margin accounts, impacting the uniMMR and increasing the risk of liquidation if a trader’s margin falls below the required level. Binance has urged users holding these assets to monitor their accounts closely to manage their risk exposure.
The adjustments come as part of a series of changes Binance has introduced in recent weeks. On March 21, 2025, the exchange announced an update to its Fiat Liquidity Provider Program, introducing a new qualification tier for EUR markets and adjusting its Maker Fee Rebate Rate to boost liquidity incentives. On March 19, 2025, Binance also introduced two new features to its margin trading platform, enhancing user control over risk management strategies.
Also, the crypto exchange launched a community-driven “Vote to Delist” trial from March 21 to 27, 2025, allowing verified users with at least 0.01 BNB to vote on which tokens should be removed from the platform. While user votes will be considered, Binance will make the final delisting decisions based on factors such as project development, trading volume, regulatory compliance, and ethical behaviour.
