Leverage Tiers

Definition

Leverage tiers refer to a system on cryptocurrency exchanges or lending platforms where the maximum allowable leverage for trading or borrowing digital assets varies based on the size of the position or the user’s collateral. Typically, smaller positions permit higher leverage, while larger positions are restricted to lower leverage to manage risk. These tiers are implemented to protect both the platform and its users from excessive exposure to market volatility. They are a critical risk management tool.
