According to CoinMeta, Bybit has announced that in order to optimize the user trading experience, it will adjust the risk limits and applicable leverage for the following perpetual contracts, which are expected to take effect at 7:30 on August 7, 2026, UTC. The contracts affected by these adjustments include PUNDIXUSDT, ARCUSDT, SHELLUSDT, and DRIFTUSDT. If the current position does not meet the new margin requirements after the adjustment, only reduction of positions in the affected contracts will be possible. The buffer period for this adjustment will end at 7:30 on August 24, 2026, UTC, at which time the system will automatically apply the new risk parameters. It is recommended that users manage their positions before the end of the buffer period to avoid the risk of forced liquidation.
