What Are the Requirements to Start Trading Crypto Futures on Pluang?

There are three requirements to start trading Crypto Futures on Pluang: complete basic KYC verification, pass the Crypto Futures Knowledge Test, and hold USDT in your Futures Margin Wallet. The Knowledge Test is a product-knowledge test required by exchange and OJK regulation rather than by Pluang — you work through a Learning Module and then pass the test, after which the feature unlocks permanently. If you traded Crypto Futures on Pluang before 25 September 2026, you are exempt from the test and only the first and third requirements apply to you. Beyond these, Pluang does not require a minimum account age, and if your account still needs any verification step before you can trade, the app shows it to you. Dynamic Leverage — the optional feature that lets you set your own leverage level rather than use each contract's fixed default — is not a requirement for trading Crypto Futures, and skipping it still leaves you full access to every contract at its standard leverage cap.

• Step 1: Complete basic KYC (identity verification). If your account still needs any further verification step before you can trade Crypto Futures, the app shows it to you.
• Step 2: Complete the Learning Module and pass the Crypto Futures Knowledge Test. This is a regulatory requirement set by the exchange (CFX) under OJK regulation, not a Pluang policy. You need to reach the passing grade set for the test, and you can retake it if you do not pass. A pass never expires.
• Step 3: Fund your account and convert or transfer USDT into your Futures Margin Wallet — this wallet is separate from your spot Crypto Assets wallet and from other Pluang product wallets.
• Step 4: Open a position on any of the supported perpetual contracts at the standard fixed leverage available for that contract.
• If you traded Crypto Futures on Pluang before 25 September 2026 — whether those positions are still open or already closed — you are exempt from the Knowledge Test and can keep trading as normal.
• Dynamic Leverage is optional and separate: it's only needed if you want to customize your leverage level rather than use the default. It is not a requirement for trading Crypto Futures.
• There is no minimum trading experience, deposit history, or account tenure required before your first Crypto Futures trade.

Q: Do I need advanced verification to trade Crypto Futures on Pluang?
Basic KYC is the identity verification every user completes when setting up their account. If your account still needs any further verification step before you can trade Crypto Futures, the app shows it to you, so you can see exactly what is left to complete. You do separately need to pass the Crypto Futures Knowledge Test before your first trade, but that is a product-knowledge requirement rather than an identity check. Dynamic Leverage, which lets you set your own leverage level, is an optional feature rather than an additional requirement for trading.

Q: Do I have to pass the Knowledge Test if I have traded Crypto Futures before?
No. If you traded Crypto Futures on Pluang before 25 September 2026, you are exempt and can keep trading as normal — this applies whether those earlier positions are still open or were closed some time ago. The test gates a user's first Crypto Futures trade, so if you made one before that date, it does not apply to you. Nothing about your existing positions, margin wallet, or open orders changes.

Q: What wallet do I need funds in to trade Crypto Futures?
You need USDT in your Futures Margin Wallet, since Pluang's Crypto Futures contracts are USDT-margined perpetual contracts. This wallet is separate from your spot Crypto Assets wallet, which holds IDR-denominated spot positions. You can convert or transfer funds into USDT and move it into your Futures Margin Wallet from your main Pluang balance. Once USDT is sitting in that wallet and the other requirements are met, you can open a position on any of the supported perpetual contracts.

Q: Is Dynamic Leverage required to start trading Crypto Futures?
No. Dynamic Leverage is a separate, optional feature, not a requirement to trade Crypto Futures at all. It lets you customize your leverage level instead of using each contract's fixed default, and the fixed default applies automatically, so no extra setup is needed before you start trading. If you skip Dynamic Leverage, you still get full access to every one of Pluang's perpetual contracts at their standard leverage caps — you simply trade at the fixed default rather than a custom level.

Q: How long does it take to become eligible to trade Crypto Futures after signing up?
Eligibility depends on how quickly your basic KYC is verified, how quickly you work through the Learning Module and pass the Knowledge Test, and how quickly you move USDT into your Futures Margin Wallet — steps most users complete in the same session as account setup. There is no cooling-off window specific to Crypto Futures, and if the app shows any further verification step, you complete that as well. Once all three are done, you can open your first perpetual contract position immediately.
