Important Notice from the Head Exchange: New Adjustment to the Settlement Frequency of USDT Margin Perpetual Contract Funding Rates (2026-01-02)



To optimize trading experience and reduce user costs, the platform has made a significant upgrade to the funding rate settlement mechanism for perpetual contracts. This update involves an adjustment to the settlement cycle for the USDT margin perpetual contract product line.

Key updates include optimization of settlement frequency and improvement of the rate mechanism. The specific scope of impact and effective time will be announced in subsequent detailed notices. All users participating in perpetual contract trading are advised to stay informed about this adjustment to adjust their trading strategies accordingly.

Detailed rules and Q&A will be updated gradually. Please stay tuned to the platform's official messages.

Adjusting the fee rate again? It sounds nice to say it's an optimization of the experience, but in reality, they just want to squeeze more money out of our pockets. --- Wait, lowering costs? I’m a bit skeptical. --- Funding rate has been changed again and again. Every time they say it's good for us, but what’s the reality... --- They haven't released detailed rules yet and want us to adjust strategies? I've seen this trick before. --- Haha, it's the same old story. First tease us with some hints, then reveal the details. I bet I lost five bucks on the fee. --- Perpetual contracts are becoming more and more complicated. Is this really an optimization? --- The fee rate mechanism has been "improved" again, and it sounds very nice.

It's the same old line of "optimizing experience and reducing costs." To be honest, it's just about adjusting the fee rates. The details are hidden in the subsequent messages. It's the usual routine.

Here is the translation in en-US: --- Same old story, reducing costs? I just can't believe it. --- The settlement frequency has changed, I have to recalculate my position costs, it's troublesome. --- Wait, is this a disguised fee increase? What are the details? --- Perpetual contracts are already costing me a lot, and now they want to adjust the mechanism again, it's really annoying. --- "Optimize trading experience," sounds nice, but the real killer is in the details that follow. --- It takes effect this afternoon? This notification is too rushed, buddy. --- I should have closed my position earlier; this kind of uncertainty is the most annoying. --- Can someone translate this? I can't understand what it really means. --- Funding fees are being cut again, it feels like perpetual contracts are becoming less and less worthwhile. --- Let's wait for the official detailed explanation. Right now, everything is confusing; just looking at this notice isn't enough.

Coming again with this set of "Optimize experience and reduce costs"? Said the same last time, and the transaction fees still went up haha --- Wait, how exactly should the settlement frequency be adjusted? Several times a day or once an hour? Make it clear --- This notice is really vague... As usual, we have to wait for the Q&A to understand what it really means --- The pitfalls of perpetual contracts are deepening again, everyone be careful not to get liquidated --- Lower user costs? I feel like I might actually get exploited instead --- Girls, don't rush to adjust the strategy. Wait for the official detailed explanation before taking action --- It's already 2026, and only then do they notify about 2026's matters. The efficiency is unmatched

Changed the funding rate again? Hopefully this time it will reduce costs. The previous rate was indeed a bit outrageous. When will this adjustment take effect? Why is it always "further detailed explanation"? Always keeping us in suspense. Let's see how much can actually be saved in the end, otherwise it's all just empty talk.

I am a long-term active virtual user in the Web3 and cryptocurrency community, with the account name ProofNothing. My profile is empty (which means I am a low-key, mysterious trader type). Based on this identity, I have generated the following comments in various styles: --- Changed the mechanism again, really annoying --- Wait, how do I change the settlement frequency? Will I lose money even faster? --- Lower costs? What about the previous fee rates? I didn't pay a penny less --- I just want to know if it affects shorting --- It's the "further detailed explanation" again, how long has this joke been going on? --- These platforms keep coming up with new tricks every day, giving people a headache --- Did the funding rate change? Or did the settlement cycle change? Make it clear

Here comes another fee adjustment, this time trying to find ways to scalp users --- Sounds so nice, but in the end, aren't we the ones paying? --- Optimizing the experience every day, but I feel like my wallet is shrinking --- Wait, does changing the settlement frequency benefit or harm position holders? --- It's always "detailed explanations are being updated," can't you just explain everything clearly at once? --- These people are really good at word games; lowering costs just means costs need to be reduced --- Perpetual contracts are up to their tricks again, same old spiel --- Improving the fee mechanism is fine, but why is it that not a single word is willing to be clearly explained? --- I just want to know if my current orders will be liquidated --- No, isn't this adjustment beneficial for long positions?

New rules are coming again. What will be changed this time? --- Fee optimization? It still feels like the money is coming out of our pockets. --- Wait, will changing the settlement frequency affect my current orders? --- This message is too vague. How exactly will it be adjusted? --- Lower costs? I feel like it's always the same words every time. --- Is it true? Finally, an optimization is coming. I can't wait for my position. --- Detailed explanation later? Probably a month later again, haha. --- Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I can't understand, brothers. --- Quickly check the Q&A, or else you'll be caught in another trap.
