#BINANCE#TSLAUSDT$TSLA
Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, is expanding its futures trading offerings with the launch of a new equity perpetual contract for Tesla stock.
$TSLA Starting January 28, 2026, at 14:30 UTC, traders will be able to access TSLAUSDT perpetual contracts on Binance Futures with up to five times leverage.
This addition reflects the growing trend of bridging traditional financial assets with crypto derivatives, giving users more trading options and flexibility.
Exploring Equity Perpetual Contracts
Equity perpetual contracts are a type of derivative that allows traders to speculate on the price of a stock without actually owning it. In this case, TSLAUSDT tracks the price of Tesla Inc. common stock on Nasdaq. Binance users can trade these contracts 24/7, using USD T as the settlement asset. The minimum trade amount is 0.01 TSLA, and the minimum notional value is 5 USD T. Binance will also implement a capped funding rate of plus or minus 2 percent, settled every four hours.
A key feature of Binance’s offering is Multi-Assets Mode. This allows users to trade TSLAUSDT using multiple margin assets, such as Bitcoin, instead of just USD T. By leveraging multiple assets, traders can optimize capital efficiency while managing risk. Real-world adoption of equity futures has been rising. For example, in 2024, CME Group’s Bitcoin and equity futures saw record trading volumes, reflecting growing institutional and retail interest in derivative markets tied to traditional assets.
Benefits and Considerations
The TSLAUSDT perpetual contract gives users a way to access Tesla price movements without owning the underlying shares. With a maximum leverage of 5x, traders can amplify potential gains, though higher leverage also increases risk. Binance notes that contract specifications, such as funding fees, tick size, and margin requirements, may change based on market conditions. This ensures contracts remain fair and aligned with liquidity and volatility dynamics.
