Binance Raises Leverage Limit for XRP and RLUSD, Warns of Increased Risk

Binance has announced that it will double the maximum portfolio margin leverage for XRP and RippleUSD (RLUSD) from 5 times to 10 times, effective on August 21. This change will bring XRP and RLUSD in line with top liquidity assets such as BNB, Solana, Cardano, and Dogecoin.

The increased leverage limit will also improve collateral efficiency for RLUSD, allowing it to be used more effectively as collateral for expanding XRP positions. Institutional and retail traders will have more room to use a regulated stablecoin to increase the scale of XRP trading.

Binance warned users holding existing positions that they should recalculate their collateral allocation and margin status before August 21. The exchange also cautioned that sudden changes in collateral weights could lead to automatic order cancellations or forced liquidations, and margin ratios may need to be adjusted ahead of the effective time.
