Impact analysis
The adjustment directly changes the maximum leverage and risk limit tiers for the specified perpetual contracts. For existing positions, liquidation will be based on the current risk limit level, meaning the old tiers apply until the position is closed or liquidated. For new positions opened after the adjustment, the new risk limit levels will apply. This may affect the maximum position size and leverage available to traders. The announcement does not state any impact on asset safety, price, or liquidity beyond the parameter changes. Traders with open positions or pending orders in these contracts should review the updated risk limit levels to understand how the changes may affect their positions.
