How much leverage does each exchange allow, per contract?

The average first-tier maximum leverage on the 50 largest perpetuals by open interest is 79.7x, read from 4941 perpetuals on 13 venues with recorded leverage tiers. As of 2026-10-23 05:03 UTC

Every perpetual has a ladder: the larger the position, the lower the maximum leverage and the higher the maintenance margin. We record that ladder from each venue every day and keep the history, so a quiet cut from 100x to 50x on a small coin shows up here as an event instead of a surprise liquidation.

How this is recorded

Each day the collector reads every venue's risk limit endpoint for the active linear perpetuals in its market list and stores the ladder as slowly changing rows: a ladder that did not change keeps its row, a changed ladder closes the old rows and opens new ones. The change log is derived from those closures, never typed by hand.

Venues publish tiers in different shapes (per contract, per risk id, per bracket). We normalise to tier number, notional floor and cap, maximum leverage and maintenance margin rate, and keep the venue's raw response for 30 days.

Binance publishes its brackets behind an authenticated endpoint; it joins the table once a read-only key is configured. Until then its headline leverage is visible on the symbol pages from the market list.

Why does maximum leverage drop as the position grows?

Venues cap the notional they are willing to liquidate in one go. A larger position sits in a higher tier with a lower leverage cap and a higher maintenance margin, so the venue has more buffer before the position goes underwater.

Is the maintenance margin the same as the initial margin?

No. Initial margin is what you post to open the position (one over the leverage used). Maintenance margin is the smaller fraction that must remain before liquidation; the gap between the two is the venue's cushion.

How often do ladders change?

Rarely for the majors, more often for small coins: venues trim leverage before delistings, after liquidity dries up or around major events. The change log records each edit with the previous and new values.

Can I get this as data?

Yes. The public JSON endpoint returns the current ladders, the dataset ships the daily table, and the x402 route sells the full change history per venue and symbol.
