Why do I Use UTC+8 on price charts on Binance exchange? ✅ Most traders don't realize Binance’s system clock runs on UTC+8 — a legacy from its early days. Even though Binance is now decentralized and global, this time-zone still controls:
🕛 Daily candle closes
📊 Futures funding resets
⚙️ API data and maintenance windows
If you're seeing different candle behavior or funding mismatches, your time-zone might be off. Aligning to UTC+8 keeps your charts, fees, and strategy synced with the platform itself.
Simple change, big edge.
