Binance removes nearly three hours of Blue Ocean data, affecting funding rates for U.S. stock perpetuals

Binance removed nearly three hours of Blue Ocean data because of a data issue, a move that affected the calculation of funding rates for its U.S. stock perpetual contracts. The update was reported by Techub News. The incident points to a clear operational risk tied to third-party data feeds: when an external source becomes unreliable, products that depend on that input can see pricing or rate calculations disrupted. In this case, the affected area was funding rate calculation for stock-linked perpetuals. The episode also highlights the need for stronger risk management arrangements around external market data, especially for products whose mechanics rely on continuous reference inputs.
