Bitpanda Margin Trading: a smarter way to trade crypto with 10x leverage

Bitpanda Margin Trading: the next evolution of leverage

Bitpanda Margin Trading is the next step in our leverage offering. Until now, people could trade leveraged tokens with up to 2x daily re-leveraged exposure. With our new margin trading product, users can trade actual crypto assets including Bitcoin and Ethereum directly, with leverage up to 10x.

This approach offers more flexibility and greater market exposure, enabling users to amplify their positions beyond their available capital. However, it's important to note that with increased potential for returns comes a higher level of risk, including the possibility of losses of the entire investment.

Bitpanda Margin Trading offers a more powerful and sophisticated way to engage with the crypto market—designed for users who are ready to take on greater responsibility along with greater opportunity.

With leverage options of 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x, you can choose your level of exposure depending on your strategy. For example, let’s say you want to open a long position worth €1,000 in Bitcoin (BTC), but you only have €200. With 5x leverage, you can contribute €200 as margin – your collateral – and borrow the remaining €800 from Bitpanda. If BTC rises 10%, the €1,000 position increases by €100. That’s a 50% gain on your initial margin. But if BTC falls 10%, you lose €100 – a 50% loss.

Our margin product is fully integrated into the familiar Bitpanda experience, offering:

• Long exposure on 100+ crypto assets
  
  
• Real-time margin management to add or reduce your margin exposure at any moment
  
  
• Take Profit and Stop Loss functionality to lock in gains or manage your risk of losses (coming soon)

Bitpanda Margin Trading provides different leverage ratios based on how liquid an asset is. In simple terms, liquidity refers to how quickly and easily a cryptoasset can be traded without causing major price changes. So with Bitpanda Margin Trading you can access up to 10x leverage on popular crypto like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP due to their high trading volume. For less actively traded assets, leverage is lower to protect you from sudden price changes and to ensure smooth order execution.
