Binance to Launch 24/7 Tesla Futures Trading

Binance has confirmed that it will list a Tesla-linked futures contract (TSLAUSDT) on its futures platform on January 28, 2026, at 14:30 UTC.

The product allows traders to speculate on Tesla’s stock price without owning actual Tesla shares. The contract tracks Tesla Inc. stock on Nasdaq and will trade 24/7, unlike traditional stock markets that have limited hours. It settles in USDT and offers up to 5x leverage, allowing traders to increase their exposure with borrowed funds.

Binance has set a low entry requirement, with a minimum trade size of 0.01 TSLA and a minimum value of 5 USDT. This makes the product accessible to small and retail traders.

The exchange will also support Multi-Assets Mode, allowing users to use Bitcoin or other supported assets as margin, not just USDT. This gives traders more flexibility when managing their futures positions.

Crypto Futures Tokenization Interest Grows

This listing is different from Binance’s earlier stock token offerings in 2021. Instead of tokenized shares, Binance is using derivatives, which provide price exposure without direct ownership of stocks.

The TSLAUSDT contract is a USDT-margined perpetual future. It includes a funding rate capped at ±2% and paid every 4 hours. Binance noted that it may adjust contract terms such as leverage, funding fees, and margin requirements depending on market conditions.

The launch comes as interest grows in 24/7 stock trading and tokenization. Recently, the New York Stock Exchange announced plans to build a tokenization platform for U.S. stocks and ETFs. Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao said this trend is positive for crypto markets.

At the time of writing, Tesla shares are trading near $445, slightly lower than last week, following changes to its driver-assistance features.
