This new development came after the exchange increased the maximum leverage for margin trading on Ethereum (ETH) trading pairs, (ETH/USD), (ETH/BTC); EOS trading pair, (EOS/USD) and Tezos (XTZ) trading pairs (XTZ/USD), (XTZ/BTC).
The Purpose of Margin Trading
According to the exchange, Margin trading gives traders the ability to borrow funds to increase leverage. This serves as an offer for larger profits than in traditional trading.
However, Bitfinex notified its users of the level of risk that abound in cryptocurrency trading despite the possibility of accruing greater rewards.
This risk is more to the high volatility of digital currencies in the market. So, it’s advisable for users to trade responsibly.
