What has Binance launched beyond cryptocurrency trading?

Binance has launched commission-free US stock and ETF trading for eligible users. The platform now offers access to more than 7,000 equities and ETFs alongside its existing crypto products.

Why is Binance entering the stock trading market?

Binance is pursuing a broader strategy to become a "multi-asset financial super app." The company wants users to access stocks, ETFs, crypto, derivatives and tokenised assets through a single account.

What features are available for Binance stock traders?

Users can trade over 7,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs with zero commission, purchase fractional shares starting from $5 and access selected securities on a 24/5 trading schedule.

What are tokenised stocks and why do they matter?

Tokenised stocks are blockchain-based representations of traditional equities. They aim to combine stock ownership with the flexibility of digital assets, potentially allowing easier transfers, settlement and integration with crypto markets.

What are Binance's planned bStocks?

Binance plans to launch bStocks, which will represent tokenised US stocks and ETFs. The products will be issued through BTECH Holdings Ltd, a special purpose vehicle registered in Abu Dhabi Global Market.

Which cryptocurrencies will support tokenised stock purchases?

According to Binance, tokenised equities will primarily be purchased using USDC, with additional support for BNB, USDT, USD1 and United Stables' U token. Sale proceeds will be settled in USDC.

How does Binance compare with Coinbase in this market?

Coinbase launched commission-free US stock and ETF trading in late 2025. Binance's move intensifies competition among exchanges seeking to combine traditional finance and digital assets under one platform.

Are other crypto exchanges offering stocks too?

Yes. Kraken has launched access to thousands of US-listed stocks and ETFs, while Bitpanda expanded its offering to around 10,000 stocks and ETFs. The trend reflects growing convergence between crypto and traditional finance.

Binance has launched commission-free trading for more than 7,000 US stocks and exchange-traded funds, marking its latest step toward becoming a multi-asset financial platform.

Eligible users can now buy and sell equities with zero commission, purchase fractional shares from as little as $5 and access selected stocks on a 24/5 trading schedule through the exchange.

“Tokenisation has the potential to reshape financial markets by giving users greater control, more flexibility, and ultimately more financial freedom,”

Said Binance Co-CEO, Richard Teng.

The new service is offered through Nest Trading, Binance’s broker-dealer based in the Abu Dhabi Global Market, and allows users to trade traditional financial assets alongside cryptocurrencies on a single platform.

Binance said the next phase of its expansion will be the launch of bStocks, tokenised securities representing US stocks and ETFs, with purchases primarily settled using USDC while also supporting BNB, USDT, USD1 and U.

The company said bStocks will be issued by BTECH Holdings, a special purpose vehicle registered in Abu Dhabi Global Market, with the launch currently awaiting regulatory approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario.

The rollout places Binance in direct competition with rivals including Coinbase, which launched commission-free US stock trading in 2025, while other exchanges such as Kraken and Bitpanda have also expanded into equities as the industry moves to merge traditional and digital asset markets.
