Press Release – Mahe, Seychelles, March 4th, 2025
BitMEX, the original cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, has recently announced significant updates for its Multi Asset Margining users. Among these updates is a remarkable 60% reduction in haircuts and the inclusion of SOL (Solana) as a margin currency. This enhancement enables BitMEX users to benefit from some of the lowest haircut rates in the crypto industry while allowing them to trade any derivatives contract on the platform with SOL as collateral.
Since launching the Multi Asset Margining feature in January, BitMEX has aimed to provide users with a simplified and capital-efficient trading experience for derivatives contracts. The latest update broadens its support to include USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, and now SOL as collateral, all while maintaining one of the lowest available haircut rates within the market.
“At BitMEX, we are committed to constantly improving our platform to enhance the trading experience for our users,” commented Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. “Building on the launch of Multi Asset Margining earlier this year, we’re taking it a step further by significantly reducing haircuts and expanding our collateral options with SOL. This update is part of our ongoing efforts to provide greater capital efficiency and flexibility, empowering traders with more optimized trading solutions.”
BitMEX distinguishes itself from other exchanges by offering a frictionless trading experience. Users can deposit their chosen currency and begin trading immediately, without the hassle of transferring funds between wallets. The Multi Asset Margining system automatically allocates a user’s funds to fulfill the margin requirements of their positions, ensuring efficiency.
To get started with Multi Asset Margining, users are encouraged to switch their account margin mode to ‘Multi Asset Margining’ on the order form of the trading page. For detailed instructions on enabling this feature, users can refer here.
