- Binance has launched US stock trading for eligible users, with access to over 7,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs.
- The exchange also plans to introduce bStocks, tokenized securities representing select US stocks and ETFs, subject to regulatory approval.
Binance is moving towards traditional markets, and this time it’s not just adding another crypto product. The exchange introduced US stock trading to eligible users, giving them access to more than 7,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs through ADGM’s broker-dealer, Nest Trading Limited.
The launch fits into Binance’s broader drive to become a multi-asset financial platform rather than a crypto-only venue. Eligible users will be able to purchase fractional shares starting at $5, trade commission-free, and retain direct ownership of shares through a US-regulated clearing broker. Applicable earnings and corporate actions are included, which is important because this is not just synthetic price exposure dressed up as stock trading.
For Binance, this step also relates to user behavior. Many investors are already moving between stablecoins, spot cryptocurrencies, derivatives and yield products. Adding listed stocks brings another asset class into the same environment, with fewer steps between cash-like digital balances and traditional markets.
Binance adds stocks to its multi-asset strategy
The product is designed to bridge the gap between traditional investing and digital asset markets. Purchases will be made primarily using US dollarsWhile Binance also plans to support BNB, USDT, USD1, and $U. Proceeds from the sale will be received in USDC. Select stocks will be available for trading 24/7, increasing access beyond standard U.S. market hours.
This structure is important. is used stablecoins Acts as a settlement bridge while giving users exposure to regulated US securities through a broker and clearing setup. It also gives Binance a way to hold more activity within its ecosystem, from cryptocurrency balances to purchasing shares and eventually tokenized instruments.
“We set out to reach the next 3 billion users, and to do that, we need to make it easier for users to access opportunities across asset classes, diversify their portfolios, and more easily navigate between traditional investing and cross-chain financing,” said Yi He, co-founder and co-CEO of Binance. “This is what a multi-asset financial super app should help people do.”
Eligible users will also have access to fully paid securities lending, allowing them to earn passive income by lending stock holdings. This feature brings Binance closer to the brokerage model used by traditional trading platforms, where dormant securities can become part of a broader layer of income and market liquidity.
bStocks will bring tokenized shares to the exchange
Binance said it plans to launch bStocks in the coming weeks, subject to regulatory approval. These products will represent US stocks and selected ETFs, and will be issued by BTECH Holdings Ltd, a special purpose vehicle registered on the Abu Dhabi Global Market.
This is where the announcement becomes more than just a stock trading pitch. Tokenized securities can make it easier to transfer, trade, and potentially use shares within on-chain applications. In theory, this opens the door to the use of collateral, liquidity provision, lending markets, and other programmable financing structures. In practice, the hard part is regulation, custody, investor eligibility, and making sure users understand what they actually own.
“The token has the potential to reshape financial markets by giving users greater control, more flexibility, and ultimately more financial freedom,” said Richard Teng, co-CEO of Binance. “We see a huge opportunity to make financial assets more accessible, more useful and more connected across traditional and digital markets.”
There are limits, and they are not small. bStocks are not ordinary shares and do not give their holders direct ownership in the underlying listed company. Binance also said that the products will not be offered to US persons. Trading of securities will be directed through Alpaca for execution, clearing, settlement and custody, while Binance itself will not custody the securities.
