Exchange-set risk rules can reduce the amount traders are able to borrow against crypto holdings, even when the market value of those holdings is unchanged. CryptoSlate reported that lower token risk values leave leveraged traders with less room to maintain positions. The change affects borrowing power rather than the underlying value of the collateral itself. The related assets are Aethir (ATH), Ark (ARK), Power Protocol (POWER), RedStone (RED) and Wink (WIN). For leveraged participants, the key market consideration is the relationship between an exchange’s risk assessment and the size of an existing position. A lower assessment can narrow available capacity and increase the pressure on traders using borrowed funds, although the supplied report does not provide individual adjustment figures or details for specific platforms.
