As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance risk management, Bybit will update the factors used to calculate Futures contingency under Portfolio Margin mode, a component of the Portfolio Margin requirement.

Effective May 14, 2026, at 8AM UTC, the following contingency factors will be increased to 0.0003:
• USDT Futures contingency factor (for USDT Perpetual and Expiry contracts)
• USDC Futures contingency factor (for USDC Perpetual and Expiry contracts)
• Inverse Futures contingency factor (for Inverse Perpetual and Expiry contracts)

These changes will be applied to all Perpetual and Expiry trading pairs except BTC, DOGE, ETC, ETH, MATIC, MNT, OP, SOL, XAUT, XRP, and BNB.

The calculation formula is as follows:
Asset Futures contingency = [Σ abs(USDC Perpetual and Expiry contract quantity) × USDC Futures contingency factor + Σ abs(USDT Perpetual and Expiry contract quantity) × USDT Futures contingency factor + Σ abs(Inverse Perpetual and Expiry contract quantity) × Inverse Futures contingency factor] × Corresponding USD index price for each contract

We recommend reviewing the potential impact of these changes on your portfolio and adjusting your strategies accordingly. If you have any questions, please contact Customer Support.

Thank you for your continued support.
