  When a cryptocurrency trader fails to meet the minimum maintenance requirements in a long margin account, the exchange may issue a margin call. This means that the trader will be required to deposit additional funds or close out some of their positions to bring the account back to the required maintenance level. If the trader fails to meet the margin call, the exchange may liquidate their positions to cover the losses. This can result in significant financial losses for the trader.

  If a cryptocurrency trader doesn't meet the minimum maintenance requirements in a long margin account, they could face forced liquidation. This means that the exchange will automatically sell their positions to cover the losses. It's important for traders to closely monitor their margin accounts and ensure they have enough funds to meet the maintenance requirements to avoid such situations.
