Important Update: Modified Collateral Calculation for Futures Trading on BTSE

Dear Valued BTSE Users,

Effective January 24, 2024, we will be adjusting the collateral ratio mechanisms within BTSE’s multi-asset collateral function. Notably, the collateral ratio (haircut) percentage, which is a risk management tool used to determine the borrowing value of your assets, will now be determined based on the collateral’s USDT value rather than the token amount.

Additionally, we’ve updated the list of tokens eligible for use as collateral.

Newly added: Aptos (APT), Arbitrum (ARB), BNB (BNB), Chiliz (CHZ), (dYdX) DYDX, Enjin Coin (ENJ)The Graph (GRT), Lido DAO (LDO), Maker (MKR), NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Optimism (OP), The Sandbox (SAND), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Synthetix (SNX), and Sui (SUI).

Removed: TrueUSD (TUSD) (Note: Any remaining TUSD in your futures wallet will be automatically transferred to your spot wallet when this update is implemented.)
