CME BTC futures are 60% long margin and 200% short margin? WTF?!?!?! How can they even call this a future?
-
That's the maintenance vol scan, i.e. what CME SPAN considers the likely range of market movement -- so up/down 60% implies a 35% margin requirement covers most losses (eh, ish). You can get the % margin by dividing the "maintenance" column by the contract value.
I mean, it definitely could be true and I just missed the announcment! Where are you seeing the 60%/200% figures?

I got it from IB.

when BTC futs first came out IB had much higher margins than CME as well. Sounds like that's still the case
