Binance Adds U.S. Stocks and ETFs to Expand Beyond Crypto Trading

Highlights:

• Binance now lets users trade U.S. stocks and ETFs alongside crypto in one account.
• Users can start with $5 and access over 7,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs.
• Binance also plans bStocks, which will bring selected stocks and ETFs on-chain.

Binance has added U.S.-listed stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to its platform, giving users a new way to trade traditional market assets from the same account they already use for crypto. The company announced the service on Monday, saying users can now access thousands of U.S. stocks and ETFs with a starting amount of just $5.

The move expands Binance beyond its core crypto trading services. Users can now manage crypto assets, stocks, and ETFs in one place instead of switching between separate apps. Binance said the product aims to make investing easier, more flexible, and more accessible for users in supported regions.

Binance also said the service may not be available in every region. Users will need to check whether stock trading is supported in their country before using the product.

Welcome to a new era.

Binance Brings Crypto and Stocks Into One Account

According to Binance’s announcement, users can access more than 7,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs through their Binance account. These may include shares of well-known U.S. companies and major funds listed in American markets.

The company said users can start with fractional shares from $5. Fractional shares allow investors to buy a small part of a stock instead of buying one full share. This can help smaller investors gain exposure to expensive stocks without needing a large amount of money.

Binance said stock trading will be available 24 hours a day, five days a week. This gives users more time to react to market movements, especially those living outside the United States and in different time zones. The company also said users can buy stocks using supported balances on Binance, including selected stablecoins and BNB. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to keep a steady value, usually linked to the U.S. dollar. BNB is Binance’s native crypto asset.

Fees and Trading Structure

Binance said users can trade U.S. stocks and ETFs with zero commission fees. However, the company added that a minimum platform fee of $0.35 per order will apply. For orders above $350, Binance will charge 10 basis points.

The company also explained that Nest Trading Limited acts as the introducing broker for the service. It routes securities orders to its clearing broker partner, Alpaca Securities LLC, for execution, clearing, settlement, and custody.

Binance said it does not handle or custody the securities itself. This means the actual stock-related process runs through the broker and clearing structure mentioned in the company’s announcement. The exchange also warned users about market and liquidity risks. Stock prices can move up or down, and users may lose money. Binance said users remain responsible for their own investment decisions.

Binance Plans bStocks Tokenized Securities

The exchange also announced that it plans to launch bStocks in the coming weeks. The company described bStocks as tokenized securities that represent selected U.S. stocks and ETFs.

Binance said users will be able to convert their equity holdings on Binance into on-chain assets. On-chain assets are digital assets recorded on a blockchain. However, Binance clearly stated that bStocks are not actual stocks and do not give holders direct ownership of shares in the underlying listed company. The launch of stock trading shows Binance wants to offer more than crypto trading.
