Gate Launches "Leverage Worry-Free": No Forced Liquidation During Holding Period, Making High-Leverage Trading More Relaxed

“Leverage Without Worries”’s biggest feature is the “exemption from forced liquidation during the holding period.” This means that users will not be forcibly liquidated due to short-term market volatility or “pinning”行情 during the product holding period, allowing them to focus more on trend judgment and strategy execution.

Currently, the market is experiencing end-of-year volatility. Based on Gate market data, as of December 31, BTC’s current price is $88,490.1. After attempting to break through the $90,000 mark, the market sees intense bulls and bears battles, with significant intraday fluctuations.

Trading Pain Point Innovation: From Margin Crisis to Principal Protection

In traditional cryptocurrency leverage trading or contract trading, even if investors correctly judge medium- to long-term trends, they are often forced out due to short-term extreme market fluctuations. The forced liquidation mechanism is like a Damocles sword hanging over every high-leverage trader. Trading dynamics shared by Gate users show that even when clear oversold and stabilization signals appear on technical analysis, setting a tight stop-loss is still necessary.

This phenomenon is especially prominent in highly volatile markets. The structured design of “Leverage Without Worries” directly addresses this core pain point. It strictly limits the maximum potential loss of the user to the principal of a single subscription. This means traders no longer need to worry about margin calls or the risk of incurring additional debt. The product offers “never forced liquidation” protection before expiration, fundamentally removing short-term market noise from position strategies.

Core Mechanism of the Product: Combining High Leverage and Certainty of Risk

“Leverage Without Worries” is essentially a structured derivative that provides high leverage configurations while redefining risk boundaries. Its core mechanism is clear and aims to offer a more controllable trading experience. The product’s returns are entirely based on the settlement price at expiration. Users only need to judge the price direction of the asset at the end of a specific period. This means that during the holding period, no matter how much the price fluctuates, it will not trigger forced liquidation, allowing users to truly “hold on” to their positions and wait for the trend to clarify.

The initial products cover mainstream assets in the market, including BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA. This provides users with diversified options to position according to different market expectations.

Additionally, Gate has launched an attractive limited-time experience activity for new product launches. From 14:00 on December 30, 2025, to 14:00 on January 7, 2026, the first 1,000 users who subscribe for the first time will automatically receive a cash subsidy based on +100% APR of the subscription principal.

Market Volatility Background: Structural Opportunities in Year-End行情

At the launch of “Leverage Without Worries,” the cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant volatility and structural adjustments. Understanding the current market environment helps to grasp the best timing for using new tools.

Based on Gate platform data, mainstream assets show complex divergence trends at year-end. In Q3 2025, ETH experienced about a 7.2% technical correction, and the ETH staking exit queue on the platform reached new highs. This phenomenon is not purely bearish but reflects healthy market adjustment and normal capital flow among different strategies (such as staking, lending, arbitrage). It precisely indicates that in volatile markets, trend judgment and position management are more important than frequent trading.

Recently, BTC’s price has hovered near the $90,000 mark. Institutional investors are applying more mature options strategies to altcoins to manage volatility and enhance potential returns. This shows that professional market participants are also seeking more refined, risk-controlled tools to cope with the current market.

Scenario Application Strategy: How to Match Leverage for Different Goals

“Leverage Without Worries” is not a one-size-fits-all solution for all market environments. Its advantages are specific to certain trading scenarios and clear risk-reward expectations. Gate’s official materials recommend that users choose leverage multiples based on their risk tolerance. For conservative traders, 5x or 10x leverage can amplify gains while keeping maximum losses within an acceptable principal range, suitable for trend validation. For traders willing to accept higher volatility for larger gains, 20x or even 100x, 200x leverage offers a more aggressive option. The key is that regardless of the chosen multiple, the loss cap is known and locked.

This product is especially suitable for capturing trend moves triggered by clear catalysts (such as major upgrades, macro data releases) or key technical breakthroughs/breakdowns. In choppy markets, its value is relatively limited. Users can hold multiple “Leverage Without Worries” products across different coins, directions, and leverage multiples to build a structured derivative strategy portfolio, covering different market segments and directions.

Comparison with Existing Tools: Positioning and Choice

Within Gate’s rich trading product matrix, “Leverage Without Worries” occupies a unique position. Compared to Gate’s previous leveraged ETF products, there are fundamental differences.

Leveraged ETFs aim to provide an experience close to spot trading, allowing users to gain leveraged market exposure without managing margin and liquidation prices. Their leverage multiples are dynamically managed and are suitable as “strategy modules” for medium- to short-term trend trading. In contrast, “Leverage Without Worries” is a fixed-term European-style derivative, with core value in the “exemption from forced liquidation during the period” protection mechanism and a defined maximum loss. It’s more like a leveraged “price direction bet” with a protective shell, especially suitable for traders who dislike the risk of forced liquidation mid-trade and are willing to use fixed costs (principal) to pursue trend gains.

Compared to traditional perpetual contracts, “Leverage Without Worries” removes the most complex risk management aspects during position holding (monitoring margin ratios, handling pinning), greatly reducing psychological burden and operational barriers, allowing traders to focus on initial directional judgment.

Future Outlook

Although “Leverage Without Worries” offers protection against forced liquidation, the trading risk itself does not disappear but transforms into another form. The greatest risk lies in misjudging the price direction, which could lead to losing all or part of the subscription principal. Investors need to be clear that this product is not suitable for long-term passive holding but is an active trading tool with clear entry and exit plans. Gate’s official educational materials emphasize that no leverage product makes trading easier; instead, it amplifies the importance of every decision.

According to official plans, Gate will continue to improve its structured product matrix, aiming to provide more flexible and diverse trading options for users with different risk preferences. This means “Leverage Without Worries” may just be the beginning; in the future, Gate may launch more structured products with different risk-reward profiles to cover the full spectrum of conservative to aggressive investors.

After the product matures, regardless of profit or loss, funds will be automatically returned to the user’s account approximately 10 minutes after settlement. The first 1,000 users to experience this product will also receive an additional cash subsidy based on the subscription principal, effectively lowering the trial cost for first-time users. As Gate continues to improve its structured product matrix, more innovative tools are on the way. For traders, the core always remains understanding the design logic and risks of each tool, letting the tools serve strategies rather than being misled by their complex appearances.
