I. What is C2C Lending?
C2C Lending Service on Huobi Global provides a matching platform for C2C token lenders and borrowers. C2C Lending Service comprises of two sub-modules which are C2C Lending and C2C Margin (Borrow). C2C Lending allows users who have idle token balances on Huobi Global to submit order requests to lend their tokens out at a pre-defined daily interest rate. Users who have token borrowing needs can select which orders to accept and pay lenders the pre-agreed token interest.

II. What is the difference between C2C Margin vs Isolated and Cross Margin Trading

III. Is there a Repayment Period?

VI. Forced Liquidation Mechanism

Risk Rate computation methodology applied is the same as the calculation method of the risk ratio of the as Isolated and Cross Margin.
Risk Rate = Total Asset (Tradable Balance + Loaned Amount) / (Loaned Amount + Interest Payable) x 100%
