Bitget updates GWEIUSDT funding interval and four futures pairs' risk tiers on July 22
The exchange said GWEIUSDT funding will move from 1-hour to 4-hour intervals, while BRKBUSDT, QNTSTOCKUSDT, BNCUSDT and BOTUSDT will face revised leverage, position-tier and maintenance-margin settings.
Bitget said it will make two separate perpetual futures parameter changes on July 22, 2026. At 11:00 UTC, it will update leverage limits, position tiers and maintenance margin rates for BRKBUSDT, QNTSTOCKUSDT, BNCUSDT and BOTUSDT, with new positions affected immediately and existing positions transitioning at 11:00 UTC on July 25. At 12:00 UTC, it will change the GWEIUSDT funding interval from every 1 hour to every 4 hours, saying the adjustment is intended to better align contract pricing with the spot index. The exchange warned that higher maintenance requirements on the four pairs could increase liquidation risk and may cause bots exceeding revised limits to be terminated, while GWEIUSDT will carry a listed maximum funding rate of +2.0000%/-2.0000% at the scheduled 4-hour intervals.
