On January 26, Binance announced that it will launch futures trading for Tesla Inc. (TSLA) later this week.
The exchange’s announcement comes after Elon Musk revealed upcoming changes for users’ Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscription.
At the moment of writing this article, TSLA stock is trading above $449, following a drop to $445. Earlier, TSLA reached prices over $452.
Binance will launch TSLAUSDT futures contract
In its official announcement, Binance revealed that it will list the TSLAUSDT equity perpetual contract with up to 5x leverage on January 28 at 14:30 (UTC).
The exchange decided to launch TSLA futures to expand its offering list and boost traders’ experience.
In November 2025, we revealed that Binance marked an important step towards integrating TradFi products via tokenized stocks in Binance Wallet. Previously, the exchange used to offer stock tokens, but support ceased in 2021.

The crypto platform’s announcement comes a few days after Musk revealed changes for the FSD subscription.
FSD subscription set to rise
On January 23, Musk announced via X that the $99/month subscription for supervised FSD will rise as FSD’s capabilities improve. He motivated the value jump, saying that it will take place when drivers are on their phone or sleeping for the entire ride (unsupervised FSD).
On the same day, Tesla officially discontinued the Autopilot function in the US and Canada, and all new car purchases now come in standard with Traffic-Aware Cruise Control.
Previously, the FSD subscription was $8,000 (a one-time purchase), and it changed to $99 per month. The one-time purchase is still available until February 14, 2026.
I should also mention that the $99/month for supervised FSD will rise as FSD’s capabilities improve.

It’s also worth noting that Tesla vehicle purchases still come with a 30-day free trial of FSD (supervised).
