Futures Cross Margin Mode

In cross margin mode, your entire futures account balance is used as margin for all related positions. USDT-margined contracts share the same margin, while coin-margined contracts like ETH and BTC are settled in their own currencies. This maximizes the use of your account funds without the need for frequent transfers or position adjustments.
