Binance announced today that users can now trade over 7,000 US stocks and ETFs,
along with cryptocurrency, on its platform across multiple jurisdictions.
Launched in 2017, the exchange now allows users to buy and sell stocks and ETFs settled in stablecoins, including USDC, USDT, USD1, and $U, as well as BNB—all within a single app and account. Trading is available 24/5.
The platform has introduced access to both direct stocks and ETFs, as well as tokenized securities, through its bStocks functionality. Users can access these products through the same interface they use to trade cryptocurrency.
Binance stated that stablecoin settlement is intended to lower barriers for users who may not have access to traditional banking services. The company claims to serve over 300 million users.
The exchange emphasized that cryptocurrency remains the core of its business model. The addition of traditional stocks represents an expansion from its initial focus on trading digital assets to encompass multiple asset classes on a blockchain infrastructure.
According to the company, users can switch between Bitcoin and U.S. stocks without changing platforms. The service combines cryptocurrency, stocks, ETFs, and stablecoins into a single account.
