Withdrawing Collateral

Last updated: Feb 24, 2026

Available margin

You can only withdraw available margin — collateral not currently required to meet the margin requirements of your open positions.

available_margin = total_balance - required_margin

If you have no open positions, your entire balance is available to withdraw.

How to withdraw

  1. Go to exchange.synthetix.io and connect your wallet.
  2. Select the subaccount you want to withdraw from.
  3. Click Withdraw.
  4. Enter the amount to withdraw (up to your available margin).
  5. Confirm the transaction.

USDT is sent directly to your connected wallet address on Ethereum Mainnet. Once the transaction is confirmed on Ethereum Mainnet (typically 12–15 seconds), your wallet balance updates.

Withdrawing with open positions

You can withdraw available margin while holding open positions. However:

  • Withdrawing reduces your health ratio and moves your liquidation price closer to the current market price.
  • You cannot withdraw collateral below the maintenance margin threshold.

Withdrawal delays

Withdrawals are processed on-chain with no additional delay beyond transaction confirmation. There is no withdrawal queue or waiting period.
