📔An example to understand the operation mechanism of BNB leveraged tokens
Leveraged tokens are financial derivatives that track the volatility of a specific underlying asset through perpetual contracts. Through a rebalancing mechanism, they keep user investments at a target leverage multiple, such as 3x/5x, in order to achieve the goal of amplifying returns.
For example: The user buys 100 USDT of BNB5L (5x long BNB), and this product will use the 100 USDT as margin to open a long position in the perpetual contract market for a BNB perpetual contract worth 500 USDT.
📈If the BNB price increases by 10%:
The underlying contract position profits 50 USDT (500 * 10%), at this time the total assets amount to 150 USDT. The system will automatically use this portion of the profit to open a new long position worth 750 USDT (150 * 5) to maintain a 5x leverage (750/150=5x).
📉If the BNB price drops by 10:
The underlying contract position has lost 50 USDT (500 * 10%), at this point the total assets have shrunk to 50 USDT. The system will forcibly liquidate part of the position, lowering the position value to 250 USDT (50 * 5) to maintain a 5x leverage (250/50=5x) and avoid liquidation.

I hope to handle the aftermath of the pi ETF properly.
BNB breaks $1000!
