Maximum 3× leverage. Forever.
A public commitment from the LOVE Coin team. We will never offer 100×, 500×, or 1000× leverage — even where it's legal. That isn't trading. That's a slot machine with a Bloomberg terminal.
The honest math
Why 3×?
Because we are economists, not casino operators. Because Miha Štefe — the founder — studied economics and watched too many friends lose everything on 100× crypto perps. Because every retail trader who blows up at 500× was someone's brother, parent, or partner.
3× is the leverage real banks give real businesses on real collateral. It's the line between 'using credit wisely' and 'gambling with borrowed money'. We hold that line.
What we will do
- ✓ Synthetic spot forex (0× leverage) on 20 LOVE-pegged fiat pairs
- ✓ LOVE Margin Lite: 1–3× on crypto/crypto pairs, USDL collateral
- ✓ Introducing-broker partnerships with licensed EU/US brokers (Saxo, IB)
- ✓ Default 3× preset on all margin UIs, with friction to go higher within partner limits
- ✓ Mandatory cooling-off period after liquidation
What we will never do
- ✗ Offer >3× leverage on any product, anywhere, ever
- ✗ Run our own forex desk without MiFID II / ZTFI-1 license
- ✗ Hide funding fees, mark prices, or liquidation logic
- ✗ Market leverage to users who haven't passed Academy gate
- ✗ Use 'turn $100 into $10,000' style copywriting. Ever.
Legal scaffolding
- • MiFID II — forex/CFD on fiat = financial instrument, requires investment firm license. We don't have one; we use partners who do.
- • ESMA Product Intervention (2018+) — EU retail forex capped at 1:30. We voluntarily cap at 1:3.
- • MiCA — doesn't cover forex (traditional instrument). Covers our crypto margin product separately.
- • ZTFI-1 (SI) — Slovenian implementation of MiFID II, supervised by ATVP.
Financial risk — read this first
Everything on this page (and in our educational modules) is information and opinion, not personalised financial, legal or tax advice. We do not promise returns.
- •You can lose everything. Crypto prices, including LOVE, can fall to zero. Only commit what you can afford to lose completely.
- •No guaranteed yield. Staking, LP, mining and bot strategies pay variable rewards that can stop, slash or go negative. We label these 'network reward share', not 'APY' or 'investment'.
- •Buying a coin = currency exchange. When you trade EUR for LOVE/BTC/ETH you're performing forex, not making an investment in the classical sense. Why →
- •Regulatory & tax risk. Rules change. Some features may become unavailable in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for your own taxes.
- •Not a casino — but still risky. We do not run RNG gambling. Skill-based games and trading are not gambling, but they can still cost you real money. Our stance →
