Global cryptocurrency exchange MEXC announced the launch of a new Multi-Asset Margin mode for its futures trading platform. The Multi-Asset Margin mode was designed to improve trading efficiency and flexibility for futures traders. The new feature would enable users to combine multiple supported tokens into a shared margin pool, allowing them to open positions without converting assets into settlement currencies and preventing losses from spread and fees.
The move comes as derivatives trading continues to drive substantial volume across the industry. According to CoinMarketCap data, perpetual futures trading volumes have crossed $831 billion, underscoring the growing scale of derivatives trading. The new system aims to improve capital efficiency and reduce liquidation risk, which are the key challenges facing futures traders across the crypto markets. Support has been rolled out for 14 assets, including Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, Dogecoin, and stablecoins USDT and USDC.
This new development could spur further competition in the exchange futures trading volume front, where liquidation during times of heightened volatility always makes headlines. The new model from MEXC will automatically offset profits and losses across various positions, increasing the account’s resilience against volatility and minimizing the risk of a single position leading to account-wide liquidation. Margin adjustments will also come from a shared pool, which reduces the need for manual management.
MEXC also rolled out a tiered collateral system to help users maximize asset value. Stablecoins USDT and USDC will retain a full 100% collateral rate while major tokens receive rates that gradually adjust as holdings increase. This approach, MEXC said, balances margin efficiency with risk control.
“With Multi-Asset Margin mode, we are directly addressing the needs of our users by delivering greater efficiency and stronger security,” said Tracy Jin, COO at MEXC.
The launch comes amid increased macroeconomic uncertainty, which has resulted in unpredictable market price fluctuations across the board for digital assets. In recent times, at the start of the week, news of leveraged liquidations has dominated headlines, particularly referred to as the “Monday liquidation trap” across the industry. By minimizing forced liquidations through pooled collateralization, MEXC may attract more experienced traders seeking better tools for managing volatility.
