Summary:
EBC will launch Tiered Margin Levels (TML) for crypto on Oct 23, 2025 (GMT+3), for all MT4/MT5 Live servers to improve risk control and trading transparency.
Thank you for your continued trust and support in EBC.
As part of our commitment to maintaining a robust and transparent trading environment amid evolving regulatory standards and heightened market volatility in crypto market, EBC is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of a Tiered Margin Levels (TML) for Crypto products, effective from Thursday, 23 October 2025, starting at 00:00 (platform time GMT+3).
The new TML of crypto products will apply to all MT4/MT5 Live servers. Please review the details below carefully and ensure your positions are managed accordingly ahead of the update.
Under the TML, the margin for your net crypto positions will be calculated separately for each tier according to the applicable leverage ratio, and then aggregated to determine total margin requirement. For example, assuming a BTCUSD position of 25 lots with an entry price of $100,000, your margin would be calculated as follows:
Tier 1: 10 lots × $100,000 ÷ 200 leverage = $5,000
Tier 2: 10 lots × $100,000 ÷ 100 leverage = $10,000
Tier 3: 5 lots × $100,000 ÷ 30 leverage = $16,666.67
Total Required Margin = $5,000 + $10,000 + $16,666.67 = $31,666.67
Important Notes:
Existing cryptocurrency positions will not be affected by this update.
Any subsequent action on existing positions (such as adding, reducing, or partially closing) will trigger recalculation of margin requirements based on the new tiered structure.
Please ensure sufficient funds and appropriate position sizing before the effective date to accommodate the updated leverage settings and avoid unnecessary margin pressure.
We encourage you to review your positions and risk management strategies following the implementation to ensure alignment with the new margin framework.
