Leverage is a financial instrument that allows traders to amplify their trading position size using borrowed funds, controlling assets of greater value with a smaller initial capital. In cryptocurrency trading, leverage is typically expressed as a multiplier (ranging from 2x to as high as 125x), representing how much larger a position a trader can control beyond their actual funds, simultaneously magnifying both potential profits and risks.

LTV
LTV (Loan-to-Value) ratio is a metric that measures the proportion of a loan amount relative to the value of collateral, expressed as a percentage calculated by dividing the borrowed amount by the collateral value and multiplying by 100%.
