Leverage rules are changing! Exchanges are adjusting collateral ratios, and the risk window is opening


The exchange announcement shows that multiple risk control parameters will be adjusted on May 1, 2026:
14:00 (Beijing time): Update the collateral ratio for assets such as STX, APT, etc., in the investment portfolio margin (PM) system, and the layered collateral ratio for PMPro (about 30 minutes)
14:30 (Beijing time): Adjust leverage and margin levels for U-based perpetual contracts like ZENUSDT, EIGENUSDT, etc. (about 1 hour)
These kinds of adjustments may seem like "technical operations," but they have a significant impact on the market.
Structurally, changes in collateral ratios and leverage rules will directly affect available funds and liquidation prices:
Collateral ratio decrease → Available funds decrease → Risk increases
Leverage adjustment → Changes in liquidation zones → Volatility may be amplified
In other words, this is not a market change, but a change in the "game rules."
In the crypto market, many people focus on price but overlook the rules themselves.
But what truly determines whether you can survive is often not the direction, but risk control.
When rules tighten, risks have already started to amplify.
Those who understand the rules in advance are always safer than those who are a step behind the market.
