This contract tracks the price of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) and lets users trade it 24/7, including weekends and holidays, something regular stocks market do not offer. Key details of the launch include:

• TSLAUSDT USDⓈ-margined perpetual contract

• Up to 5x leverage with USDT settlement

• Minimum trade size of 0.01 TSLA

• Minimum notional value of 5 USDT

• Funding fees settled every four hours

The announcement follows Binance’s recent futures products tied to gold and silver. These launches show the exchange’s push to give crypto traders access to major traditional assets without relying on stock market hours.

What the Futures Perpetual Trading Actually Means and How It Works For Traders?

The product tracks the TSLA stocks but does not offer ownership of real shares. A perpetual contract is a type of futures trade that has no expiry date, meaning traders can hold positions as long as they maintain enough margin. Since it is USDT-margined, profit, losses, and collateral are all in USDT, making it easy and familiar. 

How does it work for everyday participants?

With Binance-Tesla contract, traders can use up to 5x leverage, meaning a small amount of money controls a bigger position. For example, $100 can control $500. This can boost profits but also raises the risk of liquidation if losses grow.

The minimum trade is small (0.01 TSLA and 5 USDT), so even small traders can participate. Binance also uses a funding rate every four hours to keep prices close to real Tesla stock. When funding is positive, longs pay shorts; when negative, shorts pay longs. This helps keep the market balanced, even when stock markets are closed.

Market Reaction: TSLA Stock Under Pressure Ahead of Earnings

• Q4 deliveries: 418,227 vehicles (below expectations)

• 2025 total deliveries: 1.64 million vehicles, down 9% year over year

• Competition: BYD delivered 2.26 million EVs in the same period

The long-term confidence is still potential on the shares however the numbers above creates at the moment pressures. 

For Next: Is a Tesla Spot Listing Coming After the Futures'?

Binance’s Futures launch generally follows the spot listing within weeks or sometimes months. Communities are already hyped on its spot listing, offering major price and easy access, however, the platform didn’t mention anything regarding spot listings. 

Binance has not announced any spot market, or tokenized stock, and no confirmation of $TSLA being available for direct spot trading. The existing Binance Tesla listing remains strictly a futures-only product and is not connected to the firm in any official way.

At the Bottom 

While this opens new opportunities, traders should note that leveraged futures can lead to rapid losses, especially with volatile stocks.

Until the exchange makes an official announcement, traders should treat the listing strictly as a high-risk leveraged futures product, not a substitute for owning Tesla shares.
