  Sure! The margin maintenance requirement is a minimum amount of funds that you need to have in your account to keep your leveraged positions open. If the value of your positions drops and your account balance falls below the maintenance requirement, you may receive a margin call and be required to either add more funds or close some positions. This requirement is in place to protect both you and the exchange from potential losses. It's important to monitor your positions and account balance to ensure you meet the maintenance requirement and avoid liquidation.

  The margin maintenance requirement is a crucial aspect of trading cryptocurrencies on margin. It helps to ensure that traders have enough funds in their accounts to cover potential losses. If the value of your leveraged positions drops and your account balance falls below the maintenance requirement, the exchange may liquidate your positions to cover the losses. Therefore, it's important to carefully manage your margin trades and regularly monitor your account balance to avoid being liquidated.
