Could you please elaborate on the margin requirement for Bitcoin futures trading at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)? As a market participant, I'm interested in understanding the financial requirements and risk management considerations for engaging in such a trade. Specifically, what percentage of the contract value do traders need to deposit as margin, and how does this vary based on market conditions? Additionally, what are the potential implications for traders if they fail to maintain the required margin level? Your insights would be greatly appreciated in helping me make informed decisions regarding my trading activities.

The value of the futures contract is determined dynamically based on the price of the underlying asset, in this case, Bitcoin.
