Bybit announced on June 22, 2026 that it will adjust risk limits and applicable leverage for 12 USDT perpetual contracts. CryptoSigy reads this as a margin-parameter and order-permission event, not a list of trade recommendations.
What Happened
The exchange says the initial adjustment is scheduled for around 07:30 UTC on June 23. The affected contracts are MERLUSDT, PORTALUSDT, ALCHUSDT, MUSDT, CLOUSDT, RLCUSDT, CTCUSDT, FLRUSDT, GIGAUSDT, SOLAYERUSDT, XDCUSDT, and TAIKOUSDT.
If an account does not meet the new margin requirements at the first application, Bybit says affected positions may become reduce-only until a supported risk limit or leverage is selected. The announced buffer ends at 07:30 UTC on July 10, when the new parameters are to be applied automatically; the notice also says risk controls may end that buffer earlier.
Why It Matters
Risk tiers determine how much notional a position can carry at a given leverage and maintenance requirement. A signal calibrated to the old bracket can become oversized even if price does not move, especially when resting orders, copy trading, or a bot can add notional.
Bybit says the change also applies to Copy Trading and Trading Bot positions. Existing bot positions are not described as automatically closed during the buffer, but new orders may be stopped. That makes order inventory and automation state part of the review.
CryptoSigy's owner-fit angle is execution: current bracket, liquidation buffer, open orders, account collateral, and reduce-only exits. This is not a protocol governance event, so it is not republished on Radar.
What To Watch Next
Before June 23 at 07:30 UTC, export affected positions and open orders, fetch the updated risk table, and recalculate notional after every planned order fills. Check copy and bot subaccounts rather than reviewing only the manual trading screen.
Before July 10 at 07:30 UTC, verify that the selected leverage and available margin still satisfy the live parameters. Because Bybit reserves the option to shorten the buffer, users should rely on the current announcement and account notices instead of treating July 10 as guaranteed waiting time.
Reducing size, adding margin, changing a supported tier, or closing automation can each be valid depending on the account. The article does not recommend leverage or any of the affected contracts.
