  The minimum margin requirement for trading on Coinbase is 10%. This is a standard requirement set by the platform to ensure that traders have sufficient funds to cover potential losses. By having a minimum margin requirement, Coinbase aims to protect both the traders and the platform from excessive risk. It's always a good practice to have more than the minimum margin requirement in your account to manage risk effectively and avoid liquidation in case of market volatility.
