“Spot Margin Trading is a powerful tool but only when paired with transparency, risk education, and user control,” said Mazurka Zeng, CEO of Bybit EU. “We’re proud to launch a product tailored for Europe’s evolving regulatory landscape one that equips traders to scale their strategies without compromising visibility or compliance.”
What Is Spot Margin?
Spot Margin Trading allows users to borrow funds against their existing crypto holdings, using them as collateral to buy or sell more assets than their wallet balance would otherwise allow. For example, a user with €100 can borrow additional funds to execute a €1,000 trade using 10× leverage amplifying both potential gains and losses from small market movements.

This creates significant opportunities but also greater risks which is why Bybit EU has implemented several safety mechanisms to protect users.

Bybit EU’s Spot Margin service includes built-in safeguards aligned on leverage and investor protection:
- Liquidation at 100% Maintenance Margin to prevent further losses
- Real-time interest rates, margin requirements, and collateral ratios, asset by asset
