Impact analysis
The confirmed operational change is narrower settlement spacing: 2ZUSDT perpetual funding now settles once every hour instead of whatever frequency applied before, starting Sep 27, 2026, 00:10 UTC. The announcement lists hourly settlement points at 01:00, 02:00, 03:00 and 04:00 UTC 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 measured from this material. MEXC's only stated user-facing consequences are procedural: check the updated funding rate before placing orders, and for existing orders adjust position and margin accordingly to prevent potential asset loss. The source does not state how funding is calculated, whether actual rates will differ from the listed maximum, or how the change affects prices, liquidity or asset value.
What the announcement does not say
