Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced the addition of the option to trade Bitcoin futures contracts with a leverage of 125 times.

The Binance platform announced futures contracts last July with its hint of adding a trading option that offers 20 times leverage.

Today, investors can trade futures contracts with leverage from 1x to 125x.

Changpeng Zhao, nicknamed “CZ”, CEO of Binance, said:

We’ve seen an increase in institutional involvement in trading…they are flocking to the option to trade futures contracts offered by Binance.

He adds in his statement:

The market has demanded a product with the highest levels of stability and performance; Now we offer one of these products.

It should be noted that Nouriel Roubini had previously warned about the leverage offered on cryptocurrency trading platforms and said that it exposes traders to a very high risk.

Binance says its Bitcoin futures contract offers a built-in hedging tool to help traders manage risk.
