Coincheck re-enters leveraged trading after about six and a half years, offering up to 2x leverage
- Supports BTC/JPY, ETH/JPY, and XRP/JPY pairs with up to 2x leverage and a 50% margin requirement for individual users, including short-selling; trading runs 24/7 except during maintenance.
- Users can switch between spot and leverage trading within the same Coincheck app (no separate download) and transfer funds between spot and leverage accounts in-app; order types include market, limit, stop, speed, and close-all orders. Eligibility requires an existing spot account plus a suitability check and separate leverage account setup; Android and Web versions are planned within 2026, with corporate accounts from 2027 onward.
- The service operates under Coincheck's registration as a Type I Financial Instruments Business (Kanto Local Finance Bureau (Kinsho) No. 3540); crypto derivatives became subject to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act under the amended law effective May 2020, which caps individual leverage at 2x regardless of the asset.
