Latest Activities

To further enhance trading experience, Bybit will launch an automatic funding rate settlement frequency adjustment feature starting Oct 30, 2025, 8AM UTC, with full rollout expected by Nov 3, 2025, 6AM UTC.

When a Perpetual Contract’s funding rate reaches its preset upper or lower limit during settlement, the system will automatically switch the settlement frequency to once per hour to better reflect market conditions in real time.

Future updates to funding rate limits and settlement frequencies will be adjusted dynamically without separate announcements.

Suppose a Perpetual Contract has an initial funding rate settlement frequency of every 4 hours — at 4AM, 8AM and 12PM (UTC+8) — with an upper and lower limit of ±2%.

If the funding rate reaches 2% or -2% at 8AM (UTC+8), the system automatically changes the settlement frequency to once per hour. The next settlement will occur at 9AM (UTC+8).

If the funding rate is only 1% at 8AM (UTC+8), the frequency remains unchanged.

After being adjusted to once per hour, the frequency may revert to once every 2, 4 or 8 hours based on market conditions, without prior notice.

You can check the latest settlement frequency and adjust your strategy [here](https://www.bybit.com/en/announcement-info/fund-rate/). 

When a contract’s funding rate hits its upper or lower limit during settlement, the adjustment will be completed within about 4 minutes.

For example, if the rate reaches the limit at 8AM (UTC+8), the new frequency will be visible by 8:04AM (UTC+8).

Bybit may disable the automatic adjustment feature for specific contracts depending on market conditions.

This feature currently does not apply to BTCUSDT, BTCUSDC, BTCUSD, ETHUSDT, ETHUSDC, ETHUSD, ETHBTCUSDT or ETHWUSDT Perpetual Contracts.

Every 4 hours: 12AM, 4AM, 8AM, 12PM, 4PM, 8PM (UTC+8)

Every 2 hours: 12AM, 2AM, 4AM, 6AM, 8AM, 10AM, 12PM, 2PM, 4PM, 6PM, 8PM, 10PM (UTC+8)
