Multiple outlets, including NewsBTC and Finbold, report that MEXC's TSLA stock futures trading volume surged 101% to approximately $137 million during October 12-18, up from $67.84 million the previous week. They agree that the spike coincided with Tesla's Roadster unveiling and upcoming earnings announcements.

MEXC, a leading platform in 0-fee digital asset trading, has reported a significant surge in TSLA stock futures trading volume. For the week of October 12-18, the volume reached approximately $137 million, more than doubling from the previous week's $67.84 million.
The increase in trading activity coincided with two major events: Tesla's unveiling of its next-generation Roadster on October 15 and the upcoming quarterly earnings announcements from both Tesla and SpaceX. This suggests that tokenized stock trading on cryptocurrency exchanges is increasingly influenced by traditional market events.

Stock Meme projects, particularly 4STOCK and MEMEROBINHOOD, accounted for about 38% of the top 10's combined trading volume, indicating strong interest in stock-related projects within the cryptocurrency market.
