Impact analysis
The confirmed operational change is narrower settlement intervals for one contract: B3USDT Perpetual Futures now settles funding once every 1 hour instead of whatever prior frequency applied, effective Sep 10, 2026, 04:10 (UTC). The announcement lists four upcoming settlement times, each with a maximum funding rate of +3.00% / -3.00%. Because the source does not state the previous frequency, the size of the change cannot be quantified from this material. The direct consequence for affected users is that funding is applied on an hourly schedule, and MEXC advises checking the updated funding rate before placing orders and adjusting position and margin on existing orders to prevent potential asset loss. The source does not describe effects on price, liquidity, asset safety or service availability, and readers outside B3USDT perpetual futures are not assigned any effect.
What the announcement does not say
The source does not disclose the previous settlement frequency, actual (as opposed to maximum) funding rates, whether the maximum rate will persist beyond the listed times, or any further adjustment date. It also does not state whether other contracts are affected.
Risk notes
- MEXC states the settlement frequency may be further adjusted, so the hourly schedule is not guaranteed to remain in place.
- The listed +3.00% / -3.00% figures are maximum funding rates; the source does not state the actual rates that will be applied.
- MEXC advises existing-order holders to adjust position and margin accordingly to prevent potential asset loss.
- The source does not address asset safety, liquidity, price effects or technical risk, so no conclusion on those points can be drawn from it.
