OKEX has announced the implementation of a change in the settlement time for futures contracts from 10 am every Friday to 10 am every day (CEST, UTC+2).
What are the reasons?
The daily settlement is set to allow customers to make better use of their funds by delivering a better trading experience. The way things were built in futures trading forced customers to only see profits and losses when a position was closed every Friday, not letting customers transfer the realized profits of their accounts before said settlement. Thus, their funds were locked away in the futures account until the settlement happened on Friday.
With these changes, customers will finally be able to freely move their funds in and out of their futures account without waiting until Friday.
The release (migration) schedule is as follows:
TRX, BSV, ETC: Effective immediately
XRP, BCH, LTC: Aug 28, 2019
EOS, ETH, BTC: Aug 30, 2019
