As the range of financial functions available in DeFi continues to expand, simple token swaps at great prices are taken for granted. Traders don’t just want simple trades—they want to trade bigger positions with less capital and make bets on token prices increasing or decreasing. Margin trading enables this, powering leveraged positions that magnify returns and short positions that go up in value when the price of an asset goes down.

Margin trading is now available on RADAR RELAY.

ETH, DAI, and USDC margin pairs with no minimums

At launch, we’re supporting ETH-DAI, ETH-USDC, and DAI-USDC trading pairs with up to 5x leverage, and short positions with up to 4x leverage. There is no minimum trade size.

Lend ETH, DAI, and USDC

Margin trading amplifies both potential gains and potential losses. Margin positions can be held open a maximum of 28 days, after which they can be liquidated without notice. Margin positions can also be liquidated without notice if they become undercollateralized. Do your own research and understand the risks. This article is for information purposes only.
