[//]:content-type-MARKDOWN-DONOT-DELETE Dear Gate.io Users, We are delighted to announce that Gate.io will gradually launch the spot margin trading feature. This new functionality will be made available to select users starting from July 24, 2023. **User Eligibility**: 1.VIP6 and above level. 2.Spot account assets equal to or greater than $10,000. These users will have the ability to engage in leveraged trading using various assets as collateral within their classic spot accounts. **Key Highlights:** **1.Flexible Trading:** Once margin trading is enabled, you can perform spot margin trading within your classic spot account. When your trade exceeds the current maximum buy/sell limits, the system will automatically borrow currency from the platform to amplify your profit potential. **2.Convenient Operations: **You can directly borrow and lend within the spot account, streamlining the process. **3.Diverse Trading Pairs: **Access to 1000+ markets on the spot account. **Risk Advisory:** Please be aware that margin trading involves leveraging the full value of your spot account as collateral, which amplifies both potential gains and risks. Therefore, we recommend that you always monitor your account's risk indicators to avoid liquidation risks. **How to Enable Spot Margin Trading:** You can activate this feature on the web platform. Here's how: 1.Method 1: Navigate to "Trade" in the navigation bar, then select "Spot" to access the spot trading page. In the order placement area on the right side, toggle on the "Margin Trading" switch.   2.Method 2: Navigate to "Trade" in the navigation bar, then select "Spot" to access the spot trading page. Click on the settings icon at the top to enter the trading settings, and switch the "Account Mode" to "Multi-Currency Margin Mode"   3.Method 3: If you do not meet the activation requirements but still wish to use the spot margin trading feature, you can contact our institutional team to express your interest in participating. **Note:** Currently, API does not support the activation interface for spot margin trading. However, once users activate the feature on the web platform, they can use the API for normal functions such as borrowing and repaying. **Related Information**:（https://www.gate.io/help/trade/spot-margin-trading） ● Rules of Spot Margin Trading ● Terminology ● **Risk Control Mechanism for Spot Margin Trading** ● Spot Margin Trading Guide We hope that the new spot margin trading feature will bring more convenience and flexibility to your trading experience.
