Bitget will change the funding rate interval for the HOTUSDT trading pair from every 8 hours to every 1 hour, effective Nov. 3, 2026, at 03:00 UTC. The funding rate limits will remain +2.0000% and -2.0000%. The exchange said the adjustment is intended to better align perpetual futures prices with spot index prices. Bitget may reschedule the change if factors such as high market volatility arise and will issue a separate announcement in that event. The exchange also reserved the right to modify, amend or retract the notice at any time, for any reason, and at its sole discretion without prior notice. Traders were advised to review updated funding rates before placing orders and remain aware of trading risks.
