Trading activity in MEXC's TSLA stock futures accelerated sharply in the week of October 12–18, with weekly volume climbing to approximately 137 million USDT from 67.84 million USDT the prior week—a 101% jump. The surge came as investors positioned for quarterly earnings from Tesla and SpaceX, and after Tesla unveiled its next-generation Roadster on October 15.
Over the two-week period spanning October 5–18, total volume reached roughly 204 million USDT, with nearly two-thirds of that activity concentrated in the second week. This highlights the market's heightened interest in Tesla-related derivatives as key corporate events approached.
The Roadster unveiling, held at a SpaceX test facility in Texas, showcased a cold-gas thruster system developed in collaboration with SpaceX, underscoring the technological integration between the two Elon Musk-led companies. The event drew renewed attention to Tesla just before its earnings release.
SpaceX, which went public earlier this year, reported its second quarterly results on October 20. Third-quarter revenue rose 161% year over year to approximately $14.6 billion, beating market expectations, and the stock gained about 6.6% in after-hours trading. The following day, Tesla reported its third-quarter 2026 results, with a gross margin of 19.6% and adjusted earnings per share ahead of consensus.
MEXC's platform allows users to trade both TSLA and SPCX stock futures from a single account, eliminating the need to transfer funds between platforms. The exchange offers 24/7 trading, with TSLA futures providing leverage up to 100x and a fee structure of 0% maker and 0.02% taker.
MEXC currently lists more than 400 stock and index/ETF futures, covering US equities as well as Korean stocks such as Samsung and SK hynix, Japanese stocks like KIOXIA, and selected Hong Kong-listed names. During the earnings season, the exchange is running its TSLA Fever campaign with a total prize pool of 500,000 USDT.
The surge in TSLA futures volume aligns with broader trends in stock-linked derivatives on MEXC. Earlier data showed that stock-linked assets led a 77% increase in new-token volume during September, reflecting growing investor appetite for traditional finance exposure through crypto platforms.
As the US earnings season continues, MEXC plans to roll out additional content and campaigns around key corporate earnings releases. The platform's multi-asset approach, spanning crypto, stocks, indices, and ETFs, supports its mission of providing access to broader financial markets from a single gateway.
