  Robinhood has specific rules and requirements for margin maintenance in the digital currency market. When you trade on margin, you borrow funds to increase your buying power. To maintain your margin positions, you need to meet the minimum margin maintenance requirements set by Robinhood. These requirements vary depending on the digital currency you are trading and the amount of leverage you are using. If the value of your margin position falls below the maintenance requirement, Robinhood may issue a margin call, which requires you to deposit additional funds or close out some of your positions to bring your account back to the required level.
