KuCoin Futures has announced an upgrade for the THETA USDT-margined perpetual contract on August 10, 2023.
The upgrade will take about 35 minutes, during which several KuCoin functionalities, such as order-matching, order placing, take profit/stop loss, and auto-deposit margin on the KuCoin Futures website, will be temporarily suspended. Additionally, existing Futures Grid Bots may display abnormal data. However, unconventional data display will not affect any user’s investment and will return to normal after the upgrade is completed.
As a precautionary measure, users are encouraged to enable the “Auto-Deposit Margin” feature or close their positions before the upgrade. In the event of a significant price fluctuation, the upgrade will be postponed, and users will receive timely notification through an announcement.
