Trading volume in MEXC's TSLA stock futures doubled last week, driven by Tesla's new product launch and earnings season. Tether (USDT) is trading at ₹94.52 ($0.9992). This is an original Token Times brief synthesising 2 outlets (NewsBTC, Finbold), with their figures cross-checked, plus live market data, as of Thu, 22 Oct 2026 11:45:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The significant increase in TSLA stock futures trading volume on MEXC indicates growing interest in tokenized stock trading, particularly during key corporate events. This highlights the platform's role in bridging traditional finance and digital asset markets.

Key takeaways
  • MEXC TSLA stock futures volume jumped 101% to $137M USDT last week.
  • Trading activity surged after Tesla's new Roadster unveiling and ahead of earnings.
  • USDT market cap remains stable at $182.65B amid broader market decline.
What the reporting agrees on

Multiple outlets, including NewsBTC and Finbold, confirm that MEXC's TSLA stock futures trading volume rose 101% week-over-week to approximately $137 million USDT during October 12-18. They agree this surge coincided with Tesla's new Roadster unveiling on October 15 and the anticipation of Tesla and SpaceX earnings announcements. However, NewsBTC provides additional context about the broader growth in MEXC's tokenized U.S. stock trading volume (up 81% in September) and the platform's role in new-token markets, which Finbold does not mention.

MEXC, a leading platform in 0-fee digital asset trading, has reported a significant increase in TSLA stock futures trading volume. The weekly volume for October 12-18 reached approximately $137 million USDT, more than doubling from the previous week's $67.84 million USDT.

The surge in trading activity followed Tesla's announcement of its next-generation Roadster on October 15 and occurred in the lead-up to quarterly earnings announcements from both Tesla and SpaceX. This suggests that investors are increasingly using tokenized stock futures to position themselves ahead of major corporate events.

NewsBTC and Finbold both corroborate the 101% increase in TSLA stock futures volume, though NewsBTC provides additional details about MEXC's broader market performance. According to NewsBTC, the platform also saw a 77% month-over-month increase in new-token spot trading volumes and an 81% increase in tokenized U.S. stock trading volumes in September.

The growth in TSLA stock futures trading comes amid a broader market downturn, with the total crypto market cap currently at $2.81 trillion and Bitcoin down 1.75% in the last 24 hours. Despite this, Tether (USDT) has remained relatively stable, with a market cap of $182.69 billion and minimal price movement over the past week.

The increase in TSLA stock futures trading volume on MEXC underscores the growing intersection between traditional finance and digital asset markets. As more investors seek to trade tokenized versions of traditional assets, platforms like MEXC are likely to see continued growth in this sector.
