Isolated margin, Cross margin.
For futures and leverage cross margin position with the same settlement currency, margin is shared and profits and losses offset each other.
For example: if you choose Futures > Cross margin mode to trade BTC crypto-margined perpetual futures, and at the same time use BTC as margin in BTC/USDT leverage trading to open long on BTC, then these two positions will share the margin and offset each other's profits and losses.
