WHY IT MATTERS
When you trade with leverage on a crypto exchange, you are essentially borrowing money to make a bigger bet. Think of it like putting down a small deposit to control a much larger position. If the price moves against you even a little, you can lose your entire deposit — this is called a liquidation. In this case, a scheduled dividend adjustment changed the price in the BEN market on Gate exchange, and 92 traders had their positions automatically closed because they did not have enough collateral to cover the shift. This is a reminder that leveraged trading carries significant risk, especially around events that can cause sudden price changes, even when those events are announced ahead of time.
