Leveraged Transactions
11.1 BITPoint offers a service that allows trading using leverage. This is called leveraged Trading or Margin Trading. This service allows an increase that leverages the trading margin; is the process by which a Trader or merchant borrows money from BITPoint in order to buy or sell more crypto-assets or cryptocurrencies that the Trader is not able to pay at the time of the request. This trading margin therefore functions in some way as a short-term loan and allows the trader to increase his crypto-assets and the purchasing power he has. In addition, this can provide the opportunity to create much larger gains compared to what the Traders involved in the Market Trading would be able to generate normally.
Margin Trading or leveraged transactions confer a greater profit potential than traditional trade, but also higher risks. Users who do not have a complete understanding of the operation of the leveraged transactions and the associated risk should not use the service. Users who do not wish to use the service can disable the functionality in the users’ settings.
11.2 To become eligible to participate in leveraged transactions, you must consider the following considerations:
- These transactions can be executed on our website www.bitpoint.com.pe and our APP BIT Point LITE.
- The cost of requesting or opening an account to trade with Leveraged Transactions or leveraged transactions will depend on the position in which it is opened.
