According to Paradex Network, effective Wednesday, 28 May 2025 at 06:00 AM UTC, the funding period for BTC, ETH, and SOL perpetual options will be extended to 5 days. This change is designed to reduce funding rate volatility, offering traders greater predictability in funding costs and allowing for more stable trading strategies. The extension of the funding period could lead to smoother price action in the perpetual options market, potentially reducing short-term liquidations and enhancing overall liquidity for major cryptocurrencies. This update is particularly relevant for active crypto derivatives traders, as it directly affects funding fee calculations and risk management approaches in the BTC, ETH, and SOL perpetual markets (source: Paradex Network @tradeparadex, May 26, 2025).
