Binance Plans to Launch Tesla-Linked Futures Contract

Binance has publicly shared its plans to list a Tesla-linked futures product on its derivatives platform. As shared in a recent blog post, the TSLAUSDT perpetual contract is set to launch on January 28, 2026.

This move shows how Binance is connecting traditional stocks with digital asset trading.

Binance Launches 24/7 Tesla Perpetual Futures With Leverage

The TSLAUSDT perpetual contract tracks the price of Tesla shares listed on the Nasdaq. Traders can bet on Tesla’s price using leverage without owning the stock.

Unlike regular stock markets with set trading hours, this contract trades 24/7. It is settled in USDT and allows leverage of up to five times.

The exchange said it has set the minimum trade size at 0.01 TSLA, with a minimum notional value of five USDT. These terms lower the entry barrier and make the product accessible to a wider group of traders.

At the same time, Binance will support Multi Assets Mode for the TSLAUSDT contract. This feature allows traders to use major assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) as margin instead of only USDT. The structure gives users more flexibility in managing collateral across different futures positions.

Binance has also set a funding rate limit of plus or minus 2%, paid every four hours, to keep the balance between buyers and sellers.

Binance Takes a New Approach to Stock Trading With Tesla Futures

This listing is different from Binance’s stock tokens launched in 2021, which were later stopped. Instead of selling tokenized shares, Binance now offers futures that follow stock prices. This avoids owning real shares while still letting traders trade price movements.

The move matches reports that Binance is looking again at stock-related crypto products. This comes as interest in putting real-world assets on the blockchain is also growing.

Furthermore, Binance’s Tesla futures launch comes as traditional exchanges are testing similar ideas. Last week, the New York Stock Exchange said it is working on a tokenization platform. The platform is designed to allow 24/7 trading of U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds. 

Binance Details Risk Controls for Tesla Futures Launch

Binance has stated that it may once again adjust contract terms based on market risk and volatility. These changes may affect funding fees, price steps, leverage limits, and margin rules. The exchange says the goal is to adjust to market conditions while keeping trading smooth and stable. 

The TSLAUSDT contract will be offered worldwide on Binance Futures. This launch adds Tesla to a growing list of traditional assets traded as crypto futures, linking stock prices to 24/7 crypto markets.

At the time of writing, Tesla shares trade at around $445, down from $449 at last week’s close. The recent decline followed Tesla’s announcement on driver assistance features in North America. 

The company removed certain Autopilot features from standard vehicle packages. It now requires customers to subscribe to the Full Self Driving service for a monthly fee of $99. 

This market backdrop adds relevance to the launch, as traders look for new ways to react quickly to developments affecting major global companies.
