Binance Cuts Collateral Ratios for Six Tokens; Coinbase International Removes 29 Assets

Two of the largest crypto exchanges announced risk-management changes on the same day: Binance is cutting collateral ratios for six tokens, reducing how much borrowing power those assets provide, while Coinbase International has outlined plans to remove 29 assets from its platform.

Binance Lowers Collateral Ratios for Six Tokens

Binance confirmed it is reducing collateral ratios across six tokens on its platform. A collateral ratio determines what percentage of an asset’s value counts toward a user’s collateral balance; a lower ratio means the same holding supports less borrowing capacity or a smaller margin position.

As CryptoSlate reported on exchange risk-value adjustments, moves of this kind leave leveraged traders with less breathing room on affected positions. Users holding any of the six tokens as collateral should review their margin ratios immediately to assess whether they are close to liquidation thresholds.

Binance has not yet published the specific before-and-after ratios or the effective date in the publicly available announcement summary. Traders should check the official Binance announcements page for the confirmed token list, revised ratio values, and the exact implementation time before adjusting positions.

What a Lower Collateral Ratio Can Mean

When an exchange reduces a token’s collateral ratio, it is signaling that the asset carries higher risk or lower liquidity relative to its stated value. If a token previously counted at 80% of its market value toward collateral and is now counted at 60%, a user holding $10,000 of that token loses $2,000 of effective collateral, potentially triggering a margin call if their position was close to the minimum threshold.

Binance has applied similar adjustments to its futures and perpetuals products in prior cycles, typically ahead of anticipated volatility in lower-liquidity tokens.

Coinbase International Plans to Remove 29 Assets

Coinbase International has separately announced it intends to remove 29 assets from its platform. The headline figure of 29 assets is confirmed; the specific tokens, the affected products (spot, perpetuals, or both), and the removal schedule have not been detailed in the available public summary.

A removal at Coinbase International does not automatically affect Coinbase’s U.S. retail platform or other regional products. Traders with open positions or limit orders in any of the 29 assets should consult the official Coinbase International notice for settlement guidance, transfer deadlines, and whether any position wind-down periods apply.

What Affected Traders Should Verify

• Check the official Binance announcement for the six affected token tickers and the updated collateral ratio values.
• Confirm the effective date and applicable product type (Cross Margin, Portfolio Margin, or other) for the Binance changes.
• Identify which of the 29 Coinbase International assets you hold and whether open orders or positions need to be closed or transferred.
• Review Coinbase International’s stated removal timeline and any cut-off times for trading, withdrawal, or settlement.

Both exchanges have issued similar adjustments in the same period before. Binance’s ongoing product expansion has run alongside periodic collateral recalibrations as its asset roster grows. Traders active on either platform should treat both announcements as requiring prompt account review, not passive monitoring.
