Binance to Roll Out U.S. Stock and ETF Trading for Non-U.S. Users, Tokenized "bStocks" Planned

Binance is expanding into U.S. equities, offering non-U.S. users access to more than 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs, Fortune reported. The service is set to launch with zero commissions and fractional shares starting from $5. Users will be able to buy equities using USDT, USDC, BNB and select cryptocurrencies. Nest Trading will provide brokerage services, while Alpaca will handle custody, dividends and corporate actions. Binance also plans to introduce tokenized stocks, branded as "bStocks," in the coming weeks. The product would allow users to convert eligible equities into onchain assets on BNB Chain, part of Binance's broader effort to position itself as a "multiasset financial super app."
