# Margin Trading **Margin Trading** on Supralend enables users to take leveraged positions by borrowing assets against collateral, using liquidity sourced from existing DEXes. This mechanism brings leverage to a broader range of assets—including **long-tail tokens**, protocol-native tokens, and meme coins—without relying on centralized intermediaries. **Key Benefits:** * **On-Chain Leverage**: Gain exposure to volatile or underexposed assets with capital-efficient leverage. * **Expanded Asset Coverage**: Trade not just blue-chip assets but also niche tokens with liquidity routed through DEXes. * **Composable Yield Strategies**: Margin trading lays the foundation for advanced on-chain strategies such as **basis trading vaults**, especially when integrated with perps. By unlocking margin capabilities across a wide asset spectrum, Supralend significantly expands the possibilities for both traders and DeFi strategists. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
