KuCoin Futures has announced a new round of trading parameter changes for 26 perpetual contracts, including SEIUSDT, 0GUSDT, and FFUSDT. The exchange said it will revise the maximum leverage, risk limits, and maintenance margin requirements across different tiers for isolated margin positions.
When the changes will take effect
According to the notice, the update is scheduled for April 20, 2026, and will be implemented between 10:00 and 11:00 UTC. The changes apply to tiered risk settings under isolated margin, meaning traders may see different leverage availability and margin requirements depending on the size of their positions.
Impact on existing and new positions
KuCoin said existing positions will be liquidated and managed based on the current risk-limit tier, while new positions must comply with the revised parameters once the update is in place. As a result, traders opening or adjusting positions around the transition window may face different trading constraints than before.
Exchange warns of futures trading risks
The exchange also urged users to review the updated risk-limit tiers before placing orders. KuCoin reiterated that futures trading involves substantial risk, especially when leverage is high and price swings can amplify both gains and losses. For market participants, understanding the new parameters and monitoring margin exposure will be essential during the adjustment period.
