WhiteBIT, recognised as Europe’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by traffic, has launched a new Portfolio Margin solution crafted specifically for institutional market participants such as market makers, HFT firms, prime brokers, and hedge funds.
This initiative targets the surging demand among institutional players for secure ways to access liquidity and maximise trading strategies within the volatile crypto ecosystem.
As institutions increasingly participate in crypto markets, Portfolio Margin emerges as a straightforward, licensed method to borrow stablecoins—such as USDT and USDC—directly from the platform.
This approach enables professional clients to fund positions and pursue alpha without the friction of selling inventory assets or waiting for off-platform settlement.
Flexible and licensed loan options
WhiteBIT’s Portfolio Margin allows clients to borrow stablecoins under fixed or flexible interest terms.
Borrowed funds are eligible for immediate deployment across spot, margin, and futures markets, offering high capital efficiency for high-volume strategies.
Starting from 200,000 USDT and with leverage up to 10x, the product is tailored to large-scale institutional workflows.
Customizable loan-to-value (LTV) ratios suit various risk appetites, enabling firms to optimize for capital usage and risk controls under licensed, compliant conditions.
“Portfolio Margin was designed to provide reliable and timely access to crypto financing, without unnecessary barriers or delays. It empowers institutions to respond quickly and confidently to market dynamics,” commented Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of WhiteBIT Group.
Capital efficiency for institutional strategies
Portfolio Margin is positioned not just as a financing facility, but as a core component for optimizing institutional trading strategies.
By enabling users to unlock capital tied up in asset holdings, it allows for larger position sizes, increased arbitrage, and more trading flexibility across market cycles—without the need to increase capital exposure.
Built-in risk management offers automated margin alerts and liquidation thresholds to maintain robust risk control, while secure custody assures compliance with institutional needs.
Part of a broader institutional suite
The launch of Portfolio Margin complements WhiteBIT’s expanding institutional services ecosystem, which already includes deep liquidity across 800+ trading pairs and wallet support for over 330 crypto assets on 80+ blockchains.
Additional offerings include market maker rebates, Crypto-As-A-Service solutions, OTC desk with chat trading, sub-accounts, and colocation for advanced trading.
WhiteBIT, founded in 2018, partners with leading organisations such as Visa, Fireblocks, FC Barcelona, and Juventus, and serves over 35 million customers globally, reinforcing its drive for institutional-grade blockchain adoption
