Bybit Tightens Risk Limits on Perpetual Contracts

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has implemented a risk limit adjustment for selected perpetual contracts, effective November 14, 2025. The change is detailed in their official announcement page and help center. The adjustments affect leverage and margin requirements for major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), urging traders to review and manage positions carefully to minimize liquidation risk. Bybit’s Help Center explains the new system will automatically adjust user risk limits based on both position value and active order values, leading to fluctuations in maintenance margin and initial margin requirements.
