Binance excludes Blue Ocean outage data from US stock perpetual funding
Image: UnchainedBinance excluded nearly three hours of premium index data from the 08:00 UTC funding calculation on its US stock perpetual futures. The exclusion followed network connectivity issues at Blue Ocean, an overnight US alternative trading system. The affected window ran from 03:46 to 06:30 UTC on October 21, 2026. Binance said the distorted period would be left out of funding so users do not pay for an outage they did not cause.
Key points
- Binance removed nearly three hours of premium index data from a US stock perpetual futures funding settlement.
- Binance calculated the 08:00 UTC funding payment without the excluded Blue Ocean data.
- Blue Ocean is an overnight US alternative trading system that suffered network connectivity issues.
- Binance said the data exclusion applied only to the affected period in the funding calculation.
Why it matters
The exclusion changed one funding settlement for Binance's US stock perpetual futures after a third-party venue outage. Those contracts rely on external overnight equity feeds for funding calculations.
