Summary

Bitget said it will make several derivatives-market changes on June 24, 2026, including the launch of ZHIPUUSDT and MINIMAXUSDT USDT-settled stock perpetual contracts in select supported regions and a series of risk-parameter updates for existing perpetual pairs. The new contracts will offer up to 20x leverage, trade 24/7, settle funding every eight hours, and use tick sizes of 0.01 for ZHIPUUSDT and 0.001 for MINIMAXUSDT. Separately, Bitget said it will change HOMEUSDT funding from every one hour to every four hours and revise leverage caps, position tiers and maintenance margin rates for ZKCUSDT, WCTUSDT, TNSRUSDT, SOPHUSDT, SIGNUSDT, ANIMEUSDT, SOXSUSDT, LLYUSDT, KOPNUSDT, IONQUSDT, EWTUSDT and CRDOUSDT. The exchange warned that recalculated maintenance margin rates could exceed 100% in some cases, increasing liquidation risk, and said bots exceeding revised limits may be terminated.

  • funding rate: Periodic payment mechanism linking perpetual prices to spot markets.
