I. CrossEx Trading Upgrade: Introduction of Individual Exchange Margin Mode

To better address users’ needs for capital efficiency, fee optimization, and diversified strategy execution, Gate has significantly enhanced the CrossEx margin model with the following upgrades:

1. Cross-Exchange Margin Mode (Existing Mode)

USDT can be shared as margin across Gate, Binance, and OKX.
Supports unified margin management across exchanges, enabling flexible capital allocation and improved execution efficiency for cross-exchange strategies.

2. Individual Exchange Margin Mode (New Mode)

Each exchange now supports multiple cryptocurrencies as margin on a per-exchange basis.
Supported margin assets include: BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, XRP, BNB, SOL , and more.
Independent risk control and margin management for each asset.
Supports both spot and perpetual futures trading .
Ideal for multi-asset strategies, single-exchange hedging, and independent risk management scenarios.

Additionally, users can flexibly choose between cross-exchange margin mode and individual exchange margin mode through different sub-accounts (different UIDs), enabling more granular capital allocation and risk management.
