Impact analysis
The confirmed operational change is narrower settlement spacing for one contract: 2ZUSDT perpetual funding now settles once every 4 hours from Sep 28, 2026, 06:35 (UTC). The announcement lists four Sep 28 settlement times, each with a maximum funding rate of +3.00% / -3.00%, and points users to Funding Rate History on web or Futures Info in the app for the latest rates. Because MEXC advises users to check the updated funding rate before placing orders and to adjust position and margin for existing orders, the direct consequence is that 2ZUSDT traders need to account for more frequent settlement events when managing orders and margin. The source does not state the previous settlement frequency, actual charged rates, or any effect on price, liquidity, asset safety or other contracts.
What the announcement does not say
The source does not disclose the previous settlement frequency, the actual funding rates charged at each settlement, whether the maximum rate will change, or any effect on contracts other than 2ZUSDT. It also does not state whether further adjustments are scheduled.
