Leverage allows traders to open positions larger than their actual capital. With 10x leverage, a $1,000 deposit controls a $10,000 position. Gains and losses are both amplified: a 5% move yields 50% profit or loss on the margin.
Crypto exchanges offer leverage ranging from 2x to 125x or more. Higher leverage means a smaller adverse price move triggers liquidation. At 100x leverage, roughly a 1% move against the position wipes it out entirely.
Aggregate leverage in the market (estimated by dividing total open interest by market cap) serves as a risk barometer. When the market is heavily leveraged, small price moves can trigger cascading liquidations that amplify volatility dramatically.
Aggregate leverage levels indicate systemic risk. Overleveraged markets are fragile and prone to violent deleveraging events that affect all participants.

FAQ
What leverage is safe for beginners?
Most experienced traders recommend 2-5x for beginners, if any. Higher leverage exponentially increases liquidation risk and the emotional difficulty of managing positions.
How does cross margin differ from isolated margin?
Isolated margin limits risk to the margin assigned to that position. Cross margin shares your entire account balance across all positions, providing more buffer but risking the whole account.
What is estimated leverage ratio?
It is open interest divided by market cap. A high ratio suggests the market is heavily leveraged relative to the asset's size.
Why do exchanges offer high leverage?
High leverage attracts traders seeking large returns on small capital and generates more trading fees for the exchange.
