Fact Check

While I could not retrieve the exact PARTIUSDT July 11, 2026 announcement, the claim aligns closely with Bitget's documented and recurring practice. The VANRYUSDT announcement (published 2026-07-05) matches the claim's exact structure: adjusting the funding interval from 4 hours to 1 hour while keeping limits at ±2.0000%. PARTIUSDT is confirmed as an active Bitget perpetual futures pair. Multiple similar official announcements corroborate this format. The specifics (1-hour interval, ±2.0000% limits, spot index alignment rationale) are all consistent with Bitget's standard language, making the claim likely true, though not directly verified for PARTIUSDT on the exact date.

Summary

Bitget said it will change the funding rate interval for the TUSDT perpetual futures pair from every 4 hours to every 1 hour starting at 2026-07-11 17:00 (UTC+0). The exchange said the change is meant to better align perpetual futures prices with spot index prices. The funding rate maximum and minimum limits will be adjusted from +1.8000% and -1.8000% to +1.8750% and -1.8750%, with the hourly schedule applying from 17:00 (UTC+0) and continuing at 18:00, 19:00, 20:00 and thereafter. Bitget said it may reschedule the adjustment if high market volatility or other factors require it and warned users to review the updated funding rates before placing orders and remain aware of trading risks.
