Your Margin wallet is where you hold collateral and manage leveraged trades on Bitso Alpha. Think of it as a separate space from your regular Spot wallet, this is where borrowed funds and your trading collateral live together.

When you trade with margin, you can use leverage to open positions larger than your available balance. The platform automatically borrows 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 (like -5,000 USDT), so you always know what you owe.

All your margin activity like transfers, borrows, interest, and trades; happens through this wallet. You can move funds between your Spot and Margin wallets anytime to manage your collateral.

Disclaimer: Margin trading is only for advanced users and involves a high level of risk. You can lose your collateral and face full‑account liquidation if your Margin Level falls to the Maintenance Margin. This article is informational only and is not financial or investment advice.
