Bybit, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, has announced a new feature - spot margin trading for users in Europe, which offers several benefits and safeguards.
What is Spot Margin Trading?
Spot margin trading allows users to borrow funds against their existing crypto holdings as collateral, enabling them to execute trades that exceed their wallet balance. For instance, a user with €100 can borrow additional funds to execute a €1,000 trade using 10x leverage, amplifying both potential gains and losses from minor market fluctuations.
Transparent Risk Management: Features for EU Traders
Bybit EU's spot margin service includes built-in safety measures aligned with leverage and investor protection:
* Liquidation at 100% Maintenance Margin to prevent further losses * Real-time interest rates, margin requirements, and collateral ratios by each asset * Margin trading is currently supported under Cross Margin only * Leverage awareness prompts to ensure users understand the conditions * Client readiness testing to assess knowledge of risk mitigation and liquidation prevention
Unified EU Trading Now with Spot Margin
European users can now trade spot margin assets from a single unified trading account, enabling more efficient capital utilization and real-time risk management. Popular pairs like BTC/USDC, ETH/USDC, and others are already available with spot margin functionality. This launch strengthens Bybit’s position as one of the most trusted exchanges in Europe, considering the recent regulatory changes.
With the launch of spot margin trading, Bybit continues to expand its offerings for European traders, providing them with new opportunities for trading and risk management.
