Impact analysis
The confirmed operational change is narrower settlement spacing: TUSDT perpetual funding now settles every 4 hours instead of whatever frequency applied before, which the source does not state. The announcement lists a maximum funding rate of +3.00% / -3.00% at the Sep 20, 2026 times of 02:00, 06:00, 10:00 and 14:00 (UTC), and indicates the same maximum continues. Because the source does not disclose the prior frequency or prior maximum, no comparison of before-and-after funding cost is possible from this material. The announcement's only stated user-facing consequences are that users should refer to the updated funding rate before placing orders and, for existing orders, adjust position and margin accordingly to prevent potential asset loss. It does not state that trading, deposits, withdrawals or the pair's availability are affected. This content is not investment or trading advice.
What the announcement does not say
The source does not disclose the previous settlement frequency, the previous maximum funding rate, the actual funding rate that will apply at each settlement, or whether further adjustments will occur; it only says the frequency may be further adjusted.
