When you open Bitunix to place a futures trade, what you want is clear. You want speed, stability, and an environment that helps you execute with confidence, even when markets move quickly. We build Bitunix with that responsibility in mind, and we focus on upgrades that improve real trading workflows, not just the surface.
Today, we are sharing two major upgrades to Bitunix Futures. We have launched USDC-M Futures, and we have increased maximum leverage on BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT perpetual contracts to 200x. Together, these updates expand margin choices and give traders more control over how they manage positions.
“We are doing this to make derivatives trading more attractive on Bitunix. This is part of our long-term plan as an exchange to improve trading conditions and offer a more complete and, why not, more unique platform,” said Steven Gu, Chief Strategy Officer at Bitunix.
What Is USDC-M?
USDC-M refers to USDC-margined futures, meaning USDC is used as the margin asset and settlement currency for the contract. In simple terms, you can open positions using USDC, and your profit and loss is calculated and settled in USDC as well.
For many traders, this matters because it can make portfolio management more straightforward. If you already hold USDC, you can deploy it directly into futures positions without extra conversion steps. It can also make performance tracking cleaner, since your PnL stays in the same unit of account rather than constantly shifting between assets.
USDC-M Futures Are Now Live on Bitunix
With USDC-M Futures, we are giving traders more flexibility in how they allocate capital across stablecoins. Some traders prefer USDT, others prefer USDC, and many manage both depending on strategy and market conditions. USDC-M Futures supports those preferences while keeping the trading experience familiar.
USDC-M Futures are also integrated into the Bitunix futures environment, including charting and execution features many users rely on daily. The goal is simple: you can adopt USDC margin without changing the way you trade.
What Is Leverage?
Leverage allows you to control a larger position using a smaller amount of margin. For example, if you open a position with 10x leverage, you are controlling a position size ten times larger than your posted margin. This can increase capital efficiency and amplify returns, but it also increases risk because losses are amplified the same way.
This is where risk management becomes non-negotiable. Leverage should always be paired with disciplined position sizing, clear invalidation levels, and a realistic understanding of liquidation mechanics. It is a tool, not a shortcut.
BTC and ETH Perpetual Futures Now Support Up to 200x Leverage
We have increased the maximum leverage available on BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT perpetual futures to 200x, up from 125x. This upgrade reflects ongoing work to strengthen our futures infrastructure and improve the flexibility available to advanced traders.
At the same time, it is important to be direct: higher leverage is designed for traders who already understand margin behavior and who trade with strict control. If you choose to use high leverage, protect yourself with measured exposure, thoughtful stops, and margin discipline.
How to Get Started
If you want to trade USDC-M Futures
- Log in to your Bitunix account
- Deposit or transfer USDC
- If your USDC is in Spot, transfer it to your Futures wallet
- Go to Futures and select a USDC-M contract
- Choose margin mode and leverage, then place your trade
If you want to use 200x leverage on BTC or ETH perpetuals
- Go to Futures and open BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT perpetual futures
- Adjust leverage up to 200x where available (based on position size and risk limits)
- Monitor margin closely and use protective orders such as stop-loss and take-profit
USDC-M Futures and expanded leverage on BTC and ETH are both part of the same direction: building a futures platform that gives traders more choices, better tools, and a more professional trading experience over time.
