English1. General Provisions
1.1 For the purpose of regulating the margin trading and margin loans of digital assets, maintaining market order, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of users, these rules are formulated in accordance with the principles of fairness, openness, and impartiality.
1.2 These rules are the benchmark basis for Binance's margin trading service, including borrowing loans, trading, and other related operations on the margin trading platform.
1.3 These Rules shall apply to Margin Loan and cross margin trading on Binance. Any matter for which there is no specific provision in these Rules shall be subject to the Binance Service Agreement and other relevant provisions of Binance.
2 Collateral Assets

3.2 For the purpose of ensuring asset security, Binance has the right to adjust the range of borrowable assets.
4 Margin Loan Rules
4.1 The Maximum Amount of Single Margin Loan refers to the maximum amount of digital asset that can be borrowed by a single user for each crypto. The calculation of the Maximum Amount of Single Margin Loan will be subject to the pre-set maximum total amount of Cross Margin Loan allowed for the user and the Platform’s risk control rules.
In these Rules, the Maximum Margin Loan Amount = minimum value ([net assets in a Cross Margin Account * (maximum leverage-1)-outstanding Margin Loan], maximum amount for crypto borrowing limit).
4.2 After the successful advance of a Margin Loan when the borrowed digital assets are delivered to the User's Cross Margin Account, interest shall accrue on such Margin Loan immediately. The User may use the borrowed digital assets for cross margin trading in the permitted trading pairs.
4.3 If the user uses leverage 5x, there is a limit on the maximum Margin Loan, and the platform has the right to adjust the maximum borrowable funds under 5x leverage.
5 Interest
5.1 Interest-calculation Rules: simple interest shall accrue on an hourly basis, if it is less than 1 hour, it will be counted as 1 hour. Interest is calculated once at the time of the successful advance of the relevant Margin Loan, it will be counted as 1 hour immediately after the borrowing is successful, and it will be counted as 2 hours after the next full hour.
The calculation formula: I (interest) = P (borrowed money) * R (daily interest/24) * T (in hours)
5.2 Users may repay their debts in advance, and shall pay the interest thereon according to the number of hours for which the assets are borrowed. In case of less than 1 hour, the loan time shall be deemed 1 hour. Repayment shall be deemed payment of interest first, and after interest is fully paid, repayment of the principal of the relevant Margin Loan.
5.3 Outstanding loan interest shall be included into the calculation of the Risk Ratio. Assuming that there is no deduction of interest, if there is any outstanding interest unpaid for a long time, the Risk Ratio of the User's Cross Margin Account may be reduced to a level below the Liquidation Line, leading to the risk of forced liquidation. In view of this, the Users are advised to pay interest regularly or deposit a sufficient balance in their margin accounts.
5.4 Users who use BNB to pay for the interest can enjoy 5% discount benefits. After enabling this function, all borrowing interest generated by the margin account will be displayed in the [Interest] column of BNB assets. If you borrow more than one currency, the interest on each loan will be calculated in BNB.
5.5 We may adjust the interest rate at any time, for the latest interest rate, please refer to : https://www.binancezh.top/en/margin-fee
5.6 One-click Borrow ：Users can use the One-click Borrow function on the margin trading page.
6 Repayment
6.1 Repayment rule 1: Users can manually select the loan assets to be repaid. When selecting the repayment amount, users can choose to repay all or part of the loan. The interest will be repaid first and then the principal. The system will calculate the interest based on the latest Margin Loan in the next hour.
6.2 Repayment rule 2: Depending on what assets the user borrows and what assets must be repaid, other assets cannot be used instead. Therefore, the user must ensure that there are sufficient such assets in the margin account when repaying.
6.3 One-click Repay rules: Users can use the One-click Repay function on the margin trading page. If you use this function to place the order, after the order is completely filled, the system will automatically use the funds you get by the order to repay the debt. Automatic repayment will only be done after the order is completely filled.
6.4 Convert small balance to BNB：
- Assets with a total value less than 0.001 BTC are regarded as small balance assets.
- You can convert as many assets in one conversion as you wish.
- You can only make one small balance conversion for every 24 hours.
- Considering the impact of price fluctuations on the valuation of BTC, the conversion value suggested by the system is an estimated value, and the amount of the final conversion of BNB is converted by the market price at the time of the last click to confirm the conversion operation.
- For the user's convenience, when the price fluctuation is within 5% during the conversion period, this conversion will be executed.
7 Risk Control
7.1 Users participating in Margin Loans may use the net assets in their Cross Margin Accounts in Binance as the Collateral, and the digital assets in any other accounts are not included in the Margin for cross margin trading.
7.2 Binance has the right to monitor the Margin Level of the Users’ Cross Margin Account on a real-time basis, and adopt corresponding measures in response to the fluctuation of the Margin Level.
In these Rules, the Margin Level of a Cross Margin Account = Total Asset Value of a Cross Margin Account/(Total Liabilities + Outstanding Interest), where:
Total Asset Value of a Cross Margin Account = current total market value of all digital assets in the Cross Margin Account
Total Liabilities = the current total market value of all outstanding Margin Loans in the Cross Margin Account
Outstanding Interest = the amount of each Margin Loan * the number of hours as loan time by the time of calculation * hourly interest rate - deduction/paid interest.

All losses that arise out of or in connection with forced liquidation shall be borne exclusively by the User that owns the relevant Margin Account, including but not limited to: losses that arise when the User is unable to timely adopt corresponding measures after receiving warning notice from the system, because the Margin Level of the relevant Cross Margin Account reaches the Warning Line and then quickly reaches the Liquidation Line due to violent fluctuation in the digital asset prices.
