Source-checked briefing: prepared from the official notice cited below and checked for source, date, duplication, and risk language. No individual editor review is claimed. Methodology
Bitunix will conduct a cash dividend settlement for EQTUSDT Stock Perpetual Futures on 2026-11-04 at 01:00 UTC, based on a 0.17 USD per-share dividend with an ex-dividend date of 2026-11-04 (ET). Settlement uses a position snapshot at that time: longs receive the dividend and shorts have it deducted through a funding fee adjustment, with same-UID positions netted. The source sets one conditional action: users who do not wish to participate must close relevant positions before 01:00 UTC. It also tells shorts to check margin beforehand. It does not address account security.

Key timeline
Bitunix publishes the cash dividend settlement notice.
Stated ex-dividend date for EQTUSDT.
Settlement begins; position snapshot is taken and funding fee adjustments applied.
Who may be affected
- Bitunix users holding open EQTUSDT Stock Perpetual Futures positions at the settlement snapshot.
- In particular, short holders, whose dividend deduction may reduce margin and, per the notice, may trigger forced liquidation.
Impact analysis
The confirmed operational effect is a funding fee adjustment applied to EQTUSDT positions open at the 01:00 UTC snapshot on 2026-11-04. Longs are credited and shorts debited in proportion to position size, with same-UID long and short positions netted first, so a user's net exposure determines participation. Users with no open position at that moment are excluded. Bitunix states the settlement will not affect normal opening or closing and that the pair remains tradable during the period. For shorts, the notice explicitly warns the deduction may cause insufficient margin and forced liquidation, and flags heightened concern for highly leveraged shorts. The only action the source ties to opting out is closing relevant positions before the settlement time.
What the announcement does not say
The source says the actual dividend amount will follow the underlying company's final dividend information and that any changes will be announced separately by Bitunix, so the 0.17 USD figure may not be final. It does not specify how the per-position dividend amount is calculated from position size, nor whether any regional restrictions apply to settlement.
Risk notes
- Short holders face a funding fee deduction that the notice says may cause insufficient margin and forced liquidation.
- The notice states highly leveraged short positions may see their margin ratio significantly affected by the deduction.
- The dividend amount used may change if the underlying company revises its dividend; Bitunix says such changes will be announced separately.
- Users who want to avoid participation must close relevant positions before 2026-11-04 01:00 UTC; the source states no alternative opt-out.
