  The minimum margin requirement for trading futures contracts in the cryptocurrency industry varies depending on the exchange and the specific contract. Generally, exchanges require traders to maintain a certain percentage of the contract value as margin. This percentage can range from 5% to 50% or more. It's important to note that higher margin requirements are often associated with higher-risk contracts or volatile cryptocurrencies. Traders should always check the margin requirements of the specific exchange and contract they are interested in before trading.
