The players

The details
The adjustment mechanism functions by reconciling account balances for users maintaining net positions at the specified ex-dividend time. Because the underlying dividend remains unsettled, this estimate serves as the current basis for the adjustment calculation. Traders should monitor their positions to ensure their ledger reflects this interim valuation adjustment until final figures are confirmed.
Timeline
The ex-dividend time for the SAMSUNGUSDT contract is Sept. 28, 2026, at 7 p.m. ET.
The ex-dividend time occurs at 8 a.m. KST on Sept. 29, 2026, in South Korea.
Market Landscape
This action follows the standard ex-dividend date market adjustment process widely utilized across traditional and crypto-derivative equity markets. Binance is aligning its perpetual contract logic with established practices that govern equity-linked derivatives.
Traders with open SAMSUNGUSDT positions should review their account ledger for the 4,500 won adjustment following the Sept. 28 ex-dividend cutoff. Ensure your liquidity planning accounts for the difference between this estimate and any forthcoming final dividend announcement.
The takeaway
The use of an estimated adjustment highlights the operational risk inherent in derivative contracts tied to pending corporate actions. Operators should track the official final dividend declaration to reconcile potential balance discrepancies in their accounts.
