What is Binance Cross Margin?
Binance Cross Margin is a margin trading mode on the Binance centralized exchange where users can borrow crypto against assets in their margin account and trade spot markets with leverage. Unlike isolated margin, the available balance in the cross margin account can support multiple open positions, and Binance lists Cross Margin with up to 5x leverage. For tax reporting, users may need a clear record of trades, transfers, borrowing, repayments, and interest, and this guide explains how to handle that with Coinpanda.
