Binance Futures is set to launch the TSLAUSDT Equity Perpetual Contract on January 28, 2026, at 14:30 UTC, marking a major step in the exchange’s return to traditional equity-linked products.
The new contract will allow traders to gain continuous exposure to Tesla (TSLA) price movements with leverage, without being restricted by traditional stock market hours.
The product introduces what Binance describes as “TradFi Perpetual” contracts, derivatives tied to real-world assets but structured like crypto perpetual futures. Unlike earlier tokenized stock products that mirrored Nasdaq trading sessions, the TSLAUSDT contract will be available 24/7, aligning equity exposure with the always-on crypto market.
TSLAUSDT Contract Details
The TSLAUSDT perpetual tracks the real-time price of Tesla’s common stock and settles entirely in USDT, removing the need for direct equity ownership.
Key specifications include:
- Launch time: January 28, 2026, 14:30 UTC
- Maximum leverage: 5x
- Settlement asset: USDT
- Minimum trade size: 0.01 TSLA
- Funding fees: Settled every four hours
- Trading availability: 24 hours a day, seven days a week
This structure allows traders to react to macro news, earnings expectations, and global events affecting Tesla, even when U.S. equity markets are closed.
A Broader Push Into TradFi Assets
The Tesla contract is part of Binance’s broader 2026 strategy to merge traditional finance with crypto-native trading mechanics. Earlier this month, the exchange rolled out Gold (XAUUSDT) and Silver (XAGUSDT) perpetual contracts, signaling growing confidence in demand for non-crypto underlyings on crypto derivatives platforms.
Binance had previously suspended its tokenized stock offerings in July 2021 amid regulatory pressure. This week, the exchange confirmed plans to revive and expand the category, calling it a “natural next step” in connecting global financial markets with blockchain-based trading infrastructure.
With TSLAUSDT, Binance is effectively reopening the door to equities—this time in a format designed for the crypto era, where leverage, constant liquidity, and round-the-clock access are the norm.
