Impact analysis
The addition of four bStocks tokens as collateral expands the range of assets that eligible margin traders can use to secure positions. This change directly affects VIP 3+ users in permitted jurisdictions who use Cross Margin, Portfolio Margin, or Portfolio Margin Pro. Since borrowing is not supported, users can only pledge these tokens as collateral, not borrow against them. The availability of corresponding trading pairs for margin trading may increase trading options for these tokens. The announcement does not specify any changes to existing collateral assets or margin requirements. Users outside the eligible user group or jurisdiction are not affected by this update.
What the announcement does not say
The announcement does not specify the collateral ratio, haircut, or index price methodology details for the new bStocks. It also does not clarify which jurisdictions are considered 'permitted' or list restricted regions. The exact date and time are confirmed, but the operational impact on existing margin positions is not detailed.

- Cross-margining can increase leverage and the risk of involuntary liquidation.
- The feature is not available in all jurisdictions; users must ensure compliance with local laws.
- Digital asset prices are volatile; using bStocks as collateral carries market risk.
