1.The formula for calculating transferable assets from the Isolated Margin Account:
Transferable = Min (Net Assets − Initial Margin × 2, Available amount of Quote or Base Currency) Initial Margin = Liabilities × Index Price × Initial Margin Ratio Initial Margin Ratio = 1 / (Leverage − 1) Leverage = Min (Custom Leverage, Maximum leverage based on the current leverage)
For example, if you select 5× leverage for the borrowed coin, the required Initial Margin Ratio is 1 / (5 − 1). The maximum available leverage depends on the current loan size of the coin — the larger the loan, the lower the maximum leverage. For details, please refer to the Tiered Margin Calculation . Note: Actual transferable amount may be affected by extreme market conditions or other factors. Please refer to the real-time data displayed on the platform.
2.The final borrowing limit = Min (Borrowable calculated based on the current leverage, borrowing limit based on the current leverage, Loan Cap, Pool Available). For details, please refer to the Tiered Margin Calculation.
3.There is no time limit on borrowing. The platform automatically deducts interest hourly based on the borrowing rate. Investors may repay at any time.
4.Interest is calculated based on the loan amount on the hour. If there is no outstanding loan on the hour, no interest will be deducted. Example: If you borrow 100 USDT at 08:10 and repay it at 08:50, there is no interest deducted at 09:00.
Daily Borrowing Rate (Floating) = Simple Earn Hourly Rate × 24 + (Simple Earn Hourly Rate × 24 × Service Fee Rate). Service fee discounts are available for VIP Investors. For details, please refer to the Fee Structure and Coin Borrowing Info .

6.The warning threshold is set by default at a MMR of 300% (customizable). When MMR ≤ 300%, notifications via SMS, email, and in-app alerts will remind you to increase your margin.
7.When the MMR ≤ 100%, liquidation will be triggered. Your margin will be used to repay the loan, and a 2% liquidation fee will be charged based on the repayment amount. Upon liquidation, the platform will forcibly buy or sell your assets at real-time order book prices to cover the loan.
