Binance Opens Institutional Loans to All VIP Clients With 5x Leverage and Fixed Terms

The shift seeks to make funding costs steadier for trading firms under renewed U.S. scrutiny of the exchange.

Overview

  • Binance said it now lets all KYB-verified VIP clients use its Institutional Loan product, expanding access that was previously limited to VIP 5 users.
  • The exchange raised the leverage cap to 5x and increased loan-to-value limits to 80% for initial draws and 83% for transfers, while margin call and liquidation levels stay at 85% and 90%.
  • Fixed-rate borrowing now offers 30-, 60-, and 90-day terms with loan sizes from $1 million to $10 million in USDC or USDT.
  • An Interest Rebate Program beginning June 1, 2026 can refund monthly interest up to $10 million when clients meet targets for trading volume, open interest, or net asset value, and it applies to USDT, USDC, BTC, and $U.
  • The rollout follows recent reporting that U.S. Treasury officials pressed Binance over compliance tied to its 2023 settlement, with a February Senate letter urging a review of its sanctions controls.
