Binance is done being just a crypto exchange. Starting June 1, 2026, the platform will let users trade more than 7,000 US stocks and ETFs, all settled in stablecoins like USDC and USDT, or in BNB. The company is calling it a “multi-asset financial super app.” In its first week of stock trading, over 80% of the volume came from emerging-market users.
The stablecoin engine behind the super app
The total stablecoin market cap now sits at roughly $305 billion to $311 billion. Daily transaction volumes across the stablecoin ecosystem have ballooned to multi-trillion-dollar levels, with Binance Research noting that stablecoin-settled perpetual trading alone has surpassed $1.1 trillion. In certain metrics, that exceeds the throughput of traditional payment networks like Visa.
BNB Chain has been a particular beneficiary. The stablecoin supply on the network has climbed to approximately $13.9 billion, representing a roughly 200% increase since 2025.
Binance has incubated fast-growing stablecoin issuers including United Stable, whose token (U) has grown approximately 180 times in 2026, exceeding $1 billion. USD1, another issuer in the Binance orbit, is part of the same playbook.
