Dear KuCoin Users,

To further enhance the stability, fairness, and accuracy of the funding rate mechanism in reflecting real market supply and demand, KuCoin Futures will gradually adopt a new funding rate calculation algorithm.

Notice: The upgraded algorithm will be applied starting from the 08:00 (UTC) funding settlement and all subsequent funding times. Details of the funding rate algorithm upgrade are in the previous announcement.

Potential Impacts：

As the new algorithm reflects depth, liquidity, and supply/demand more accurately:
  • Funding rate levels may differ from the previous algorithm
  • Significant impact on funding arbitrage and cross-exchange hedging
  • Large positions or high-frequency strategies should re-evaluate risk exposure
  • We recommend monitoring the affected pairs after the upgrade
Suggested actions:
  • Reduce leverage appropriately to avoid exposure to short-term volatility
  • Update the “Funding Rate Prediction Module” in arbitrage/hedging models

 

KuCoin Futures will continue to optimize its contract trading mechanisms to provide users with a safer and more efficient trading experience.

Thanks for your understanding and support!
