Multi-Asset Margin

Multi-asset margin allows traders to use a variety of cryptocurrencies, not just a single base currency, as collateral for their derivative positions. This provides significant convenience and capital efficiency, as traders do not need to convert their holdings into a specific stablecoin to trade.

However, it introduces complexity, as the risk engine must manage the varying volatility and liquidity of different assets simultaneously. The system must apply appropriate haircuts to each asset and monitor the overall portfolio risk.

This feature is becoming increasingly common in advanced exchanges to attract sophisticated traders.
