Binance Expands Institutional Loan Features with Enhanced Leverage and Fixed-Rate Options

According to the announcement from Binance, a series of enhancements have been introduced to the Binance Institutional Loan service, aimed at expanding borrowing capacity, broadening eligibility, and introducing fixed-rate term loan structures. **Increased Leverage and Updated LTV Thresholds** The leverage cap for the Institutional Loan has been increased to 5x for all eligible risk units, applicable to both existing and newly onboarded clients without the need for re-onboarding. Additionally, the Loan-to-Value (LTV) parameters have been updated to provide greater borrowing flexibility. The initial LTV has been raised from 75% to 80%, and the Transfer-Out LTV, excluding spot collateral, has been increased from 75% to 83%. However, the Margin Call and Liquidation LTV thresholds remain unchanged at 85% and 90%, respectively. These updates are designed to expand borrowing capacity without reducing liquidation protection, and they take effect automatically for all risk units. **Expanded Eligibility and Fixed-Rate Term Loans** The eligibility criteria for the Institutional Loan have been broadened significantly. Previously, only VIP 5+ users who fulfilled the trading volume requirement and were KYB verified could access the service. Now, the eligibility has been expanded to include VIP 1 to 9 users who are KYB verified. Furthermore, the Institutional Loan now supports fixed-rate term loan structures, offering borrowers greater cost predictability. Supported durations for these loans are 30, 60, and 90 days, with configurable terms including interest rate, expiration date, and fixed rate. Upon expiry, full repayment of the principal is not required, as the outstanding balance may be carried forward, transitioning to the prevailing variable rate as published on the Margin data page.
