When Binance launched in 2017, half the battle of getting into crypto was navigating the interfaces. Legacy exchanges at the time were slow, cluttered, and built for tech-savvy users. Binance focused on the basics that traders cared about: deep liquidity, faster execution, straightforward onboarding, and an accessible user experience.
Since then, we’ve continued expanding what users can access on Binance, from more trading pairs to an entire universe of products spanning payments, social, chat, and earning. Crypto remains at the center of Binance’s identity. Adding stocks now establishes Binance as a complete gateway to the wider financial system.
With Binance, you can now buy and sell over 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs settled in stablecoins in select jurisdictions, right alongside your crypto, in a single app.
Main Takeaways
- 7,000+ U.S. stocks and ETFs now trade alongside crypto in one Binance app and account, on a 24/5 schedule, with tokenized securities just added to the platform
- Stock trades on Binance settle in stablecoins (USDC, USDT, USD1, $U) or BNB, reducing friction in both user experience and market access for billions of unbanked users globally.
- Direct stocks and ETFs, as well as the new tokenized securities functionality, mark a significant step for Binance as a financial super app, expanding from crypto trading to multi-asset trading on blockchain rails.
Crypto, Stocks, and ETFs on Binance
For the last nine years, Binance has been building toward a financial system that’s more efficient, more accessible, and with fewer barriers. A core part of that vision has been creating a platform where users have greater command over their financial lives.
Over 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs now sit alongside crypto within one Binance app and account. Stock trading is available on an extended 24/5 schedule, because everyone should have the ability to react to market-moving news as they happen.
Direct stock trading and bStocks play an integral role in our super app vision, bringing crypto, equities, and on-chain finance into a unified user experience. For more details on bStocks, you can read our full announcement post.
Removing the Friction of Multi-Asset Portfolios
The concept of diversified investing continues to expand, spanning across multiple asset classes. Today’s investors hold crypto, equities, ETFs, and stablecoins, and they want flexibility to move between them.
On Binance, the multi-asset experience has been simplified to a few taps. Users can go from Bitcoin to widely followed U.S. equities without switching platforms.
Final Thoughts
Binance started with crypto, and crypto will remain our foundation. It is still the most open, programmable, and global financial rail available today. Everything we build is guided by our core mission of advancing equitable financial access and building a more transparent and safe system for all.
Bringing stocks and ETFs into the Binance ecosystem reflects what we’ve been doing since the beginning: give users the tools they need to control their own financial futures, whether it’s through 24/5 access to stablecoin-denominated U.S. stock trading pairs or the flexibility to trade across multiple asset classes on one simple interface trusted by over 300 million users.
