Main Takeaways 7,000+ U.S. stocks and ETFs now trade alongside crypto in one Binance app and account, on a 24/5 schedule, with tokenized securities just added to the platform Stock trades on
Main Takeaways
Every app starts as one thing. Amazon sold books before it sold everything. Grab started with rides, then grew into a payments staple across Southeast Asia.
When Binance launched in 2017, half the battle of getting into crypto was navigating the interfaces. Legacy exchanges at the time were slow, cluttered, and built for tech-savvy users. Binance focused on the basics that traders cared about: deep liquidity, faster execution, straightforward onboarding, and an accessible user experience.
Since then, the company has continued expanding what users can access on Binance, from more trading pairs to an entire universe of products spanning payments, social, chat, and earning. Crypto remains at the center of Binance’s identity. Adding stocks now establishes Binance as a complete gateway to the wider financial system.
With Binance, users can now buy and sell over 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs settled in stablecoins in select jurisdictions, right alongside users’ crypto, in a single app.
Crypto, Stocks, and ETFs on Binance
For the last nine years, Binance has been building toward a financial system that’s more efficient, more accessible, and with fewer barriers. A core part of that vision has been creating a platform where users have greater command over their financial lives.
Over 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs now sit alongside crypto within one Binance app and account. Stock trading is available on an extended 24/5 schedule, because everyone should have the ability to react to market-moving news as they happen.
Alongside direct stock trading, they also launched bStocks, a tokenized securities product offering on-chain access to select U.S. stocks. With bStocks, users can trade their positions 24/7, take them off platform into their own wallets, and deploy them into DApps.
Direct stock trading and bStocks play an integral role in super app vision, bringing crypto, equities, and on-chain finance into a unified user experience. For more details on bStocks, users can read full announcement post.
Removing the Friction of Multi-Asset Portfolios
The concept of diversified investing continues to expand, spanning across multiple asset classes. Today’s investors hold crypto, equities, ETFs, and stablecoins, and they want flexibility to move between them.
On Binance, the multi-asset experience has been simplified to a few taps. Users can go from Bitcoin to widely followed U.S. equities without switching platforms.
Reducing friction also goes beyond menus and interfaces. Billions of people have a phone and an internet connection, but limited access to traditional bank infrastructure. Because stock trades settle in stablecoins on Binance, even people who previously lacked access can now trade U.S. stocks on crypto-native rails. In the first week alone, over 80% of direct stock trading volume on Binance came from emerging-market users, showing how quickly demand surfaces when friction is reduced.
Stock trading on Binance marks the first time when people from eligible jurisdictions around the world can buy and sell U.S. stocks using stablecoins in a regulated manner.
Final Thoughts
Binance started with crypto, and crypto will remain foundation. It is still the most open, programmable, and global financial rail available today. Everything they build is guided by core mission of advancing equitable financial access and building a more transparent and safe system for all.
Bringing stocks and ETFs into the Binance ecosystem reflects what company has been doing since the beginning: give users the tools they need to control their own financial futures, whether it’s through 24/5 access to stablecoin-denominated U.S. stock trading pairs or the flexibility to trade across multiple asset classes on one simple interface trusted by over 300 million users.
