How is my Crypto Futures margin wallet balance shown in my portfolio?

Your Crypto Futures margin wallet balance appears in your portfolio in two parts. The margin backing your open positions is counted as investment value under Invested Amount, and the rest of the wallet — whatever is not committed to a position — is presented as cash under Saldo USDT. The two always add back up to your full wallet balance. The split shifts as you trade: opening or adding to a position commits more margin, and closing or reducing one releases it back. Your margin mechanics, margin level and liquidation behaviour are unaffected by how the balance is presented.


How your margin wallet balance is split:

LineWhat it shows
Invested AmountMargin backing your open positions
Saldo USDTThe rest of the wallet, not committed to any position
Total wallet balanceThe two lines added together — always your full wallet balance
  • How the two parts are drawn. Margin backing your open positions counts as investment value. Whatever remains uncommitted in the wallet is presented as cash.
  • This maps onto labels you already use. Your USDT Margin Balance page shows In Use and Available to Move. In Use corresponds to the portion counted as investment value, and Available to Move corresponds to the portion presented as cash under Saldo USDT — one balance, described in two vocabularies.
  • The total never changes because of the split. The two lines always sum to the wallet balance you hold. Presenting them separately removes nothing from your wallet.
  • The split moves as you trade. Committing margin to a new or larger position increases the investment-value portion and reduces the cash portion; closing or reducing a position moves it back the other way.
  • Margin mechanics are untouched. Cross margin, isolated margin, your margin level and liquidation all work exactly as they do independently of this presentation.
  • As of 31 August 2026 the margin wallet balance is presented in these two parts rather than as a single investment figure.

Related questions:

Q: Why does my margin wallet appear as two figures instead of one?
Because the two parts answer different questions: how much of your margin is actively backing open positions, and how much is free. The first is counted as investment value under Invested Amount, the second is presented as cash under Saldo USDT. Together they always equal your full wallet balance, so nothing is missing — the balance is simply broken out rather than shown as a single number.

Q: How does this relate to In Use and Available to Move?
They describe the same split in different words. In Use on your USDT Margin Balance page is margin committed to open positions, which is what counts as investment value. Available to Move is the free portion, which is what appears as cash under Saldo USDT. If you see both sets of labels, they are two vocabularies for one balance rather than two separate pools of money.

Q: Does the split change when I open or close a position?
Yes. Opening a position or adding to an existing one commits more margin, which increases the portion counted as investment value and reduces what appears as cash. Closing or reducing a position releases that margin back the other way. This reflects how margin has always worked — the split simply makes the movement visible in your portfolio as it happens.

Q: Are my cross margin and isolated margin affected by this?
No. Cross margin and isolated margin continue to work exactly as they do, as do your margin level and liquidation. How your margin is calculated, allocated and called is entirely independent of how the wallet balance is presented in your portfolio. The two parts are a presentation of the same balance, not a change to the margin system behind it.
