A: Let’s say Alice has assets in the futures account:

USDT: 0
BTC: 1

then she wish to borrow USDT for futures trading.

  1. From this endpoint, POST /sapi/v1/futures/loan/borrow, she sent a request to borrow USDT, then there will be USDT in the account, but also some BTC is locked.

  2. Time to repay

    • Alice has enough USDT in account.

      • Call POST /sapi/v1/futures/loan/repay to pay with USDT from the balance, the BTC will be released.
      • Call POST /sapi/v1/futures/loan/collateralRepay to pay USDT by BTC. If Alice wish to keep USDT, but sell BTC, this is the endpoint to go with.

    • Alice don’t have enough USDT in the account.

      • Call POST /sapi/v1/futures/loan/collateralRepay to pay USDT by BTC, the quoted amount of BTC is sold for the repay.
