Stock index futures were higher on Tuesday as Wall Street looked to regain some ground after Monday’s brutal AI-driven selloff.
Now, here are five news stories that broke overnight to watch out for:
Federal Reserve bank oversight: The Federal Reserve introduced a new proposal aimed at refining how regulators evaluate banks’ risk practices, seeking public comment on a plan to formally codify the elimination of “reputation risk” from its oversight framework. The move builds on prior steps and comes after President Donald Trump pushed to curb what he views as unjustified account closures by financial institutions.

U.S. tariff implementation: A sweeping 10% global tariff took effect at 12:01 a.m. ET Tuesday, applying to every country for a period of 150 days unless specifically exempt, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection memo obtained by NBC News. The White House is separately working to raise the rate to 15% in an order that requires presidential approval, though no timeline has been set.

Tesla marketing litigation: Tesla (TSLA) filed a lawsuit against the California Department of Motor Vehicles on February 13, seeking to overturn a ruling that found the automaker engaged in false advertising over its “Autopilot” and “Full Self-Driving” marketing. Attorneys for the company alleged that the DMV “wrongfully and baselessly” labeled Tesla a “false advertiser” for its prior use of the terms.

Bitcoin monthly performance: Bitcoin (BTC-USD) continued to slide on Tuesday, down 2.16% to ~$63,000, heading toward its largest monthly loss since the crypto sector faced multiple corporate collapses in 2022. The digital asset is now down more than 19% in February, marking its worst monthly performance since June 2022, following a steep selloff since surpassing $125,000 last October.
Chinese AI technology: DeepSeek’s latest AI model, expected to be released as soon as next week, was trained on Nvidia’s (NVDA) most advanced Blackwell chip series, according to Reuters, citing a senior Trump administration official. The development could represent a violation of U.S. export controls, with officials suggesting the Chinese AI firm may remove technical indicators that could disclose its use of restricted American hardware.

Trading stocks like Tesla used to mean dealing with rigid market hours and complex brokerage accounts. Binance Futures breaks down these barriers by offering the TSLAUSDT contract. This allows you to trade the price movements of one of the world's most popular companies with the speed and flexibility of the crypto ecosystem.
What Are Tesla Futures on Binance?
On Binance, Tesla is traded as a USDT-margined perpetual contract. This means that while the price tracks the real value of Tesla Inc. (TSLA) shares listed on the Nasdaq exchange, the settlement is conducted in the stablecoin USDT.
The ticker for Tesla Futures on Binance Futures is TSLAUSDT. Unlike buying a share on a traditional brokerage, these contracts are cash-settled derivatives. This means you do not receive voting rights or dividends, but you can still try to profit from both upward and downward price movements.
The concept is simple: If you think the price of Tesla will go up, you buy (Long). If you think the price will go down, you sell (Short). All profits and losses are denominated in USDT.
Benefits of Trading Tesla on a Crypto Exchange
The digitization of equity trading offers several improvements over the "old way" of trading stocks.
1. 24/7 market access
Traditional stock markets, like the Nasdaq, operate during limited business hours and close on weekends. If breaking news about Tesla emerges on a Saturday, traditional shareholders are stuck until the market opens on Monday. On Binance Futures, the TSLAUSDT contract trades 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This allows you to react to market-moving news instantly, regardless of the time or day.
2. Lower barriers to entry
In traditional markets, buying full shares of high-value stocks can be expensive for retail traders. Binance Futures allows for fractional trading. The minimum trade size for the Tesla contract is set at just 0.01 TSLA, making it accessible to traders with smaller amounts of capital.
3. Leverage
Futures contracts allow traders to gain exposure to larger positions with a smaller amount of upfront capital (margin). As of February 2026, Binance Futures offers leverage of up to five times (5x) for the TSLAUSDT contract. This means a trader could potentially operate $500 worth of Tesla contracts with roughly $100 of margin.
Understanding Funding Rates
Since these perpetual contracts never expire, the system needs a way to make sure the contract price stays close to the real price of Tesla stock. That’s where Funding Rates come in.
The funding payment: This is a payment exchanged between traders (buyers and sellers) every four hours. Note that this is not a fee paid to the exchange.The opportunity: If the funding rate is positive, longs pay shorts. If negative, shorts pay longs. Funding rates for this contract are generally capped at plus or minus 2%. In certain market trends, holding a position may result in the trader earning passive income from these funding fees.
Risk Management
Trading these assets is easier than ever, but that means you can lose money faster than ever, too.
Leverage risk: Remember that leverage is a multiplier. While 5x leverage is lower than some crypto contracts, it still presents significant risk. Example: If you use 5x leverage, and the price of Tesla drops by 20%, you can lose 100% of your margin. This is called forced liquidation.
Market volatility: Tech stocks like Tesla can be highly volatile. Combined with the nature of crypto-derivative markets, prices can fluctuate rapidly.
How to stay safe
To stay safe, traders often employ risk management strategies, including:
Placing strategic stop-loss orders to limit potential losses.Managing position size to ensure account longevity.Avoiding excessive leverage, especially during volatile periods.
