Collateral weightings
To calculate the collateral in a sub-account, all currencies are converted at a mark price and multiplied by collateral weighting.
The list of assets that can be used for leveraged trade, along with their collateral weightings, is as follows:
Asset | Collateral Weighting |
---|---|
USDC | 1 |
USDT | 1 |
ZAR | 1 |
BTC | 0.95 |
ETH | 0.925 |
BNB | 0.9 |
SOL | 0.875 |
XRP | 0.875 |
AVAX | 0.85 |
DOGE | 0.85 |
SHIB | 0.85 |
TRX | 0.8 |
WIF | 0.7 |
TRUMP | 0.6 |
These weightings can be queried via the currencies endpoint on our API: https://api.valr.com/v1/public/currencies.
Please note that any other currencies held in an account are assumed to have a weighting of 0 and will not contribute to account collateral, nor will these other balances be called upon in the event of liquidation.
