Binance Doubles XRP Leverage to 10x Ahead of Key Update
Binance has announced that it will double the maximum leverage for XRP and Ripple USD (RLUSD) from 5x to 10x, effective August 21, 2026. This change brings XRP and RLUSD on par with major cryptocurrencies like BNB and ADA in terms of leverage and liquidity.
Traders are advised to adjust their collateral and margin ratios before the update to avoid forced liquidations. While higher leverage offers greater profit potential, it also increases the risk of rapid losses, requiring careful risk management.
