- Non-US users can trade over 7,000 US stocks and ETFs with no commissions and fractional shares.
- Users will reportedly be able to buy stocks with stablecoins such as USDT and USDC.
- Binance also plans to roll out tokenized stocks, called bStocks, in the next few weeks.
Binance plans to offer access to over 7,000 US stocks and ETFs, and is also preparing to launch tokenized stocks on‑chain. All of this is part of the exchange’s goal to become a full‑blown “financial super app.”
Binance will allow eligible users outside the US to trade thousands of US stocks and ETFs with no commissions and fractional shares for as little as $5. With this, the exchange is expanding its reach beyond crypto and is now in more direct competition with regular stock brokerages.
A big part of the launch is payment flexibility, as users will reportedly be able to buy stocks with stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, plus select cryptos like BNB. That links crypto liquidity with traditional stock markets, letting users move funds between asset classes without ever leaving Binance.
The infrastructure behind the service is also notable. It was reported that Nest Trading will provide the brokerage services, and Alpaca will take care of custody, dividends, and corporate actions.
Additionally, a major part of the announcement is Binance’s plan to roll out tokenized stocks, called bStocks, in the next few weeks.
These bStocks would turn eligible equities into blockchain‑based tokens on BNB Chain. As such, investors could potentially hold and transfer stock‑linked assets on‑chain, all while still maintaining exposure to underlying equities.
Binance’s Tokenization Push
It seems today’s announcement is part of a much larger tokenization strategy. For instance, Binance recently published educational and regulatory materials on tokenized stocks, talking up 24/7 trading, fractional shares, near‑instant settlement, and seamless integration with blockchain finance. The exchange is positioning tokenized assets as one of the next big growth sectors for crypto markets.
One interesting statistic Binance pointed out is that tokenized stock trading volume topped $15 billion in Q1 2026, beating the total volume from the entire second half of 2025.
Also today, Binance rolled out several new perpetual futures contracts tied to regular stocks and ETFs, including Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, BlackBerry, Nokia, AST SpaceMobile, and the iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF.
This represents another demonstration that Binance is blending traditional finance and crypto into one seamless market.
