Binance has unveiled US stocks trading for eligible users and announced plans to launch tokenized securities, as it ramps up efforts to become a multi-asset platform spanning both traditional finance and digital assets.
The launch gives eligible users access to more than 7,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs and reflects Binance’s goal of making investing more accessible through a single platform. Co-founder and co-CEO Yi He said the company is focused on helping users move more easily between traditional investment products and on-chain financial services.
Powered by Binance’s ADGM-regulated broker-dealer, Nest Trading Limited, the new service brings stock trading into Binance’s existing ecosystem. The company views the offering as another step toward reducing barriers between conventional financial markets and blockchain-based finance.
Users will be able to trade stocks commission-free, buy fractional shares from $5, and retain direct ownership of securities held through a U.S.-regulated clearing broker. They will also be eligible for dividends and corporate actions where applicable. Certain securities will support 24/5 trading, while purchases will primarily be funded with USDC, alongside BNB, USDT, USD1, and $U. Binance will also offer Fully Paid Securities Lending to eligible participants.
