Margin trading on Bitso Alpha is available for invite-only beta testing right now, on the web platform for desktop only.

This beta version supports cross-margin only, so all your positions share one collateral pool. There is no isolated margin and no partial liquidation. If you breach the maintenance threshold, the platform liquidates your full account to repay your debt.

Leverage amplifies both your potential gains and your potential losses when you trade with borrowed funds. If your margin level falls to the maintenance threshold, the platform liquidates your positions to repay your debt. Borrowed assets accumulate interest for the entire time they remain outstanding, and interest is paid before principal when you close positions.
