The MEXC cryptocurrency exchange has announced the launch of a new tool — Multi-Asset Margin Mode, which allows traders to utilize a single margin pool for trading perpetual futures contracts. This new mode is aimed at enhancing capital management efficiency and reducing risks when dealing with futures.

Features and Benefits of Multi-Asset Margin Mode
Multi-Asset Margin Mode operates on the basis of a combined margin pool from various assets, enabling users to combine supported tokens to open positions. This allows cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) to be used as collateral without converting them into the settlement currency, eliminating additional fees and losses from spreads. As a result, the flexibility of trading operations and the efficiency of using available funds are increased.
With this mode, profits and losses across all positions are automatically offset, enhancing the account’s resilience to market volatility and reducing the risk of forced liquidation due to a single unsuccessful position. Additionally, the system automatically adjusts collateral, redistributing funds among assets in the event of a sharp price drop of one of them. This saves traders time and allows for a more effective response to market dynamics.
Supported Assets and New Collateral Rules
Currently, Multi-Asset Margin Mode is available for 14 tokens, including ETH, BTC, SOL, USDT, USDC, and DOGE. The list of supported assets is planned to be expanded in the future. This feature is only applicable for Cross Margin in USDT and USDC margin futures.
MEXC has also implemented a multi-tiered collateral coefficient system to maximize the value of assets. For stablecoins USDT and USDC, the coefficient is set at 100%, ensuring maximum efficiency in utilizing these assets. For Bitcoin and Ethereum, the coefficients vary depending on the volume: for the first BTC — 97.5%, for 1-5 BTC — 97%, for 5-10 BTC — 96.5%, for 10-50 BTC — 96%, for 50-100 BTC — 85%. Similar principles are applied to other popular tokens, taking into account their liquidity and market dynamics.
This system promotes diversification, prevents the dominance of a single large asset in the margin pool, and enhances platform stability while maintaining maximum efficiency in utilizing the most popular tokens.
“With the Multi-Asset Margin mode, we are directly responding to user needs by providing greater efficiency and security. In the face of high volatility and risks, this solution gives traders a more flexible and resilient tool for managing positions,” said MEXC’s Chief Operating Officer Tracy Jin.
The new Multi-Asset Margin Mode is now open to all users of the MEXC cryptocurrency exchange.
