[Gate Responds to BEN Contract Anomaly: Misidentification of Same-Named Assets, Gate Fully Covers Losses for Approximately 200 Accounts] Reported by Jinse Finance, on September 30, Gate issued a response regarding the BEN contract situation. Previously, X user @aliez_ren revealed that Gate was supposed to distribute dividends to BEN stock but mistakenly distributed the dividends to the BEN perpetual contract, which is priced at approximately $0.000585. Due to the dual-direction mechanism of funding fees (distributing dividends to long positions while deducting from short positions), it reportedly triggered large-scale liquidations of short positions. Gate's official customer service stated that an investigation was completed immediately, and the issue was caused by a "same-named asset identification problem," leading to an anomaly in the handling of BEN contract funding rates, affecting approximately 200 accounts. The issue has been promptly resolved, user balance display problems are being restored gradually, and users have not suffered any losses, as Gate will fully cover the costs.
