Disclosure. This site is operated in partnership with LeverUp; it is the Featured venue in our comparison table and the buttons on this page link to its app. Aster also lists 1001x. Our dataset row for LeverUp is marked Limited evidence because the underlying note reads "1001x per press, not stated on site" (checked 2026-10-14). Liquidation and fee rules below follow the LeverUp docs; asset caps are per the LeverUp app as of 2026-10-19. Both can change, so verify in the app before trading.
How 1001x works on LeverUp
LeverUp does not apply 1001x to every market. Per the app as of 2026-10-19, Bitcoin and Ethereum offer 1001x, while ordinary trading is capped at 100x. The docs describe two fee and leverage tiers:
- Standard (up to 100x): 0.03% of position size to open and 0.03% to close.
- High-leverage tier (500x, 750x, 1001x): no open fee; the close fee is zero when PnL is zero or negative, and when PnL is positive it is the lesser of 85% of the profit and 0.07% of position size. Holding and funding fees are the same for both tiers.
- Liquidation threshold: 80% of margin on the dedicated 1001x BTC and ETH pairs, 85% on most others (details below).
- Stop-loss placement: the docs say a long's stop must sit above the liquidation price and a short's below it.
- Capacity: open-interest caps pause new positions on a crowded side. The docs and app show no fixed figure for this, so check the pair you want in the app.
The zero-fee label is not zero cost. The profit-share close fee comes out of winners, the holding and funding fees accrue while you hold, and at 1001x every cost lands on a margin that is about 0.1% of the position. Read the in-app fee preview before you trade. These rules are described as of 2026-10-19 and the docs say the values are updated as markets evolve.
The 80% margin-loss liquidation rule
Instead of a maintenance-margin ratio, the LeverUp docs set a liquidation loss rate per pair: the position is liquidated once losses and fees reach that share of margin (80% on the 1001x pairs as of 2026-10-19). With a loss share s and leverage L, the adverse move that liquidates you is:
move = s ÷ L → 0.80 ÷ 1001 = 0.0799%
A long entered at $60,000 is liquidated near $59,952.05, which is $47.95 below entry; a short near $60,047.95. Because fees count toward the threshold, the real distance is a little smaller than this. This is the "loss rule" column in the liquidation price guide and in the liquidation price calculator, which has a LeverUp mode. Under the generic exchange formula the same leverage gives about 0.05%; the margin-loss rule is slightly more generous, but still leaves less than $50 of room on Bitcoin.
Worked example: $10 margin at 1001x
You open a Bitcoin long at an example price of $60,000 with $10 margin at 1001x. Notional is $10,010. Ignoring fees and funding:
| Price move | BTC price | P&L on margin | Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| −0.05% | $59,970.00 | −$5.01 | −50% |
| −0.08% | $59,952.00 | liquidated (≥80% of margin lost) | −80% or worse |
| +0.10% | $60,060.00 | +$10.01 | +100% |
| +0.30% | $60,180.00 | +$30.03 | +300% |
| +0.50% | $60,300.00 | +$50.05 | +501% |
The payoff is stark. A 0.10% rise doubles the margin; a 0.08% fall takes the position out. A 0.50% rise returns about five times the margin before costs, and the docs note a take-profit cap exists, so check the limit in the app. Fees are charged on the $10,010 notional, not your $10, so the cost model matters as much as the direction call. For why, read what 1000x leverage means.
Leverage on every other asset
As of 2026-10-19, the app lists these maximum leverage levels. The last two columns show the loss rule applied to each cap:
| Assets | Max leverage | Liquidation at margin loss of | Liquidation distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTC, ETH (dedicated 1001x markets) | 1001x | 80% | 0.080% |
| SOL, XRP | 100x | 85% | 0.850% |
| BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, AAVE, HYPE, TRX, SEI, ONDO, PUMP, VIRTUAL, KPEPE | 50x | 85% | 1.700% |
| MON, ZEC, XMR | 25x | 80% | 3.200% |
| EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY; S&P 500 | 50x | 85% | 1.700% |
| Gold, silver | 25x | 85% | 3.400% |
| Most single stocks | 10x–20x | 85% | 4.25%–8.50% |
The liquidation percentages follow the LeverUp docs: 80% on the 1001x pairs and on MON, ZEC and XMR, 85% on most other pairs. Equities are the strictest of all: single stocks sit at 10x to 20x. Even at 100x, a 0.85% move liquidates a position, which is still much more room than at 1001x.
Risks specific to this setup
- Fee and slippage structure. Zero fees on paper do not mean zero cost. Check the in-app preview for the minimum close fee and holding fee on the dedicated markets.
- Oracle and wicks. A brief print on the price feed can liquidate a position that has a 0.080% cushion. There is no room to "wait for the wick to pass".
- Funding and holding fees. They accrue against margin. At this leverage a few hours can matter; compare rates on fundingrates.app for context on how funding behaves elsewhere.
- Capacity limits. Open-interest caps mean you may be unable to open the size you want, or to open at all at times.
- Smart-contract and chain risk. Funds sit in contracts on a young chain. A bug, oracle failure or chain halt can cost more than a bad trade can.
- Sizing. Treat the margin as a premium you expect to lose. The risk guide explains how to size from the amount you can afford to lose.
