Bitunix, the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, has announced it is among the first exchanges in the industry to bring Isolated Margin into Multi-Asset Margin mode, a move that lets futures traders manage risk pair by pair while still pooling their eligible assets under one framework.
The upgrade, live now on Web and available on the Bitunix App, gives traders the choice between Cross Margin and Isolated Margin for individual trading pairs, a level of flexibility that was not previously available in Multi-Asset Margin mode.
“This is about giving traders more control, not more complexity,” Bitunix’s Chief Strategy Officer Steven Gu said. “Multi-Asset Margin mode already made it easier to manage assets in one place. Now traders can also decide, pair by pair, how much risk they want to isolate.”
Before this update, Multi-Asset Margin mode only supported Cross Margin, meaning all of a trader’s positions shared the same pool of margin. If one position moved sharply against a trader, it could affect the margin available to other positions.
With the new update, traders can instead choose Isolated Margin for supported pairs. Under Isolated Margin, the money backing a position is kept separate from the rest of the account. If that one trade goes wrong, the loss is generally contained to the margin assigned to that specific position, rather than spreading to other trades.
In short: Cross Margin shares risk across an account, while Isolated Margin keeps it contained to a single trade. Bitunix now lets users mix and match both approaches within the same multi-asset account.
Key Features
- Choice by trading pair: Traders can select Cross Margin or Isolated Margin for each supported pair, based on their strategy.
- Clearer risk separation: Isolated Margin limits how much a single losing position can affect the rest of an account.
- More transparency: Traders can view and manage isolated margin usage at the position level after an order is executed.
- Flexibility without giving up the pooled account: Traders can use Isolated Margin on certain pairs while still managing other eligible assets under the same multi-asset framework.
Traders can only switch between Cross Margin and Isolated Margin on a pair when they have no open positions or pending orders for that pair. Users on outdated versions of the Bitunix App may not see the feature and should update to the latest version. Some Isolated Margin orders may also trigger additional risk checks, such as borrowing limits, and traders may need to reduce order size, add margin, or repay borrowings if an order does not go through.
Expanding Bitunix’s Trading and Payment Tools
The latest futures update follows several recent product launches from Bitunix. The exchange recently introduced Auto Transfer for Bitunix Card, which automatically moves funds into a user’s card balance when needed, helping keep funds ready for payments. Bitunix also launched Super Alerts, a new chart feature that helps traders monitor market movements and receive alerts when selected price conditions are met. These additions are part of Bitunix’s ongoing focus on building practical tools that make trading and crypto payments simpler and more flexible for users.
To use the Isolated Margin feature, traders can log in to their Bitunix account, open the futures trading page, select a supported pair under Multi-Asset Margin mode, and choose between Cross Margin and Isolated Margin.
