- Binance launches zero-commission access to more than 7,000 US stocks and ETFs.
- Eligible Binance users can buy fractional shares from $5 and trade select equities 24/5.
- Binance plans bStocks tokenized securities, pending approval from Ontario’s FSRA.
Binance has introduced US stock trading for qualified users. The service offers access to more than 7,000 stocks and ETFs with zero commission. The exchange also plans tokenized stocks as it expands beyond its core crypto business into traditional markets.
Users can buy fractional shares from $5. Selected equities will also be available on a 24/5 schedule. Binance said the launch supports its plan to build a multi-asset financial super app.
Binance Links Crypto and Stock Market Access
The move places Binance in closer competition with Coinbase and other platforms. These companies are combining stocks, ETFs, derivatives, and tokenized assets in one account. Coinbase added commission-free US stock and ETF trading with 24/5 access in December 2025.
Binance co-CEO Richard Teng said tokenization could reshape financial markets. He said it may give users more control, flexibility, and financial freedom. Teng also said the company sees an opportunity to connect traditional finance with digital markets.
The equities service is enabled through Nest Trading Limited. The broker-dealer is headquartered in ADGM. Binance said the structure will assist eligible users to gain access to US stocks and ETFs on its platform.
The next stage will be tokenized stocks from the U.S. According to Binance, it intends to roll out bStocks in the near future. However, it will be using tokenized securities to represent US stocks and ETFs.

The bStocks will be issued by BTECH Holdings LTD. The company is an SPE registered in Abu Dhabi Global Market. Binance said the planned launch is still subject to regulatory approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario.
Binance Sets USDC as Main Tokenized Stock Payment
However, Circle’s USDC will primarily be used for purchases of tokenized shares. Binance also added BNB, USDT by Tether, World Liberty Financial USD, and United Stables. The proceeds of the sale will be credited to the USDC.
Users who qualify will also be able to access fully paid securities lending. The feature will allow users to lend their stock holdings, Binance said. The platform allows passive income generated from shares, the company said.
The launch coincides with the crypto exchanges’ further integration into the traditional finance sector. However, in April, Bitget launched a proxy offering that was linked to SpaceX’s pre-IPO period. This product came on the back of broader interest in company stocks by digital asset platforms.
In April 2025, Kraken announced that it will offer commission-free access to 11,000 stocks and ETFs listed on the US exchange. In January, Bitpanda announced that it will be adding approximately 10,000 stocks and ETFs. The launches indicate increased competition as exchanges expand their trading services to go beyond crypto.
Binance stated that the equities offering is part of its platform development. Once approved, the tokenized stock plan would continue that path. The company did not give a final approval date in the provided announcement for the rollout.
