  If you don't meet the initial margin requirement in cryptocurrency trading, you may face liquidation of your position. This means that the exchange will automatically sell off your assets to cover the margin shortfall. It's important to maintain sufficient margin to avoid this situation and manage your risk effectively.

  Failing to meet the initial margin requirement can result in a margin call, where the exchange demands additional funds to bring your margin level back up. If you're unable to meet the margin call, your position may be liquidated. It's crucial to monitor your margin levels closely and ensure you have enough funds to cover potential losses.

  Not meeting the initial margin requirement can have serious consequences. At BYDFi, for example, if you fail to meet the requirement, your position may be automatically closed by a third party. It's important to understand and comply with the margin requirements set by the exchange you're trading on to avoid any unwanted liquidations.
