increase their exposure to a particular asset or market, often by providing collateral that exceeds the value of the borrowed amount to secure the loan.<\/p><p>In margin trading, for example, a trader might use leverage to multiply their trading power, allowing them to enter larger positions.<\/p><p>If the market moves in their favor, the trader can realize significantly higher profits than trading without leverage.<\/p><p>However, if the market moves against them, the losses can be equally magnified, potentially leading to the liquidation of their collateral.<\/p><p>The leverage available varies by platform and can range from as low as 2x to over 100x the user&#8217;s initial capital.<\/p><p>Leverage is automated through Smart Contracts, which manage borrowing, collateralization, and liquidation processes transparently and trustlessly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ec51c8
