Your Margin Wallet is where you hold collateral and manage your leveraged operations on Bitso Alpha. It works separately from your Spot account: this is where borrowed funds and your trading collateral live together.

When you trade on margin, you can open positions larger than your available balance. The platform automatically lends what you need and tracks everything in your Margin Wallet.

How it works

Your Margin Wallet shows both your assets and what you've borrowed. Borrowed amounts appear as negative balances, for example -5,000 USDT, so you always know what you owe.

All your margin activity, such as transfers, loans, interest, and trades, happens through this wallet. You can move funds between your Spot account and your Margin Wallet at any time to manage your collateral.

Risk

Margin trading is for advanced users only and carries a high level of risk. You can lose your collateral and face full account liquidation if your Margin Level drops to the Maintenance Margin. This article is for information only and doesn't constitute financial or investment advice.
