Binance Launches Tokenized U.S. Stocks with 24/7 On-Chain Access

Binance has debuted bStocks, a new line of tokenized securities allowing users to trade fractional U.S. equities around the clock. Issued by a Binance group affiliate under Abu Dhabi Global Market regulations, these assets provide 1:1 backing with traditional shares while enabling self-custody through the BNB Chain ecosystem.

The initial lineup includes major companies such as NVIDIA, Tesla, Micron Technology, and Circle Internet Group. Binance plans to add SpaceX to the platform once the firm completes its public listing on the Nasdaq. By utilizing the BNB Chain, these tokens can be moved to compatible wallets or integrated into various decentralized finance applications, bridging the gap between traditional equity markets and blockchain infrastructure.

Investors can convert between underlying equities and bStocks at a 1:1 ratio without incurring conversion fees, with fractional ownership starting at $5. The system automates corporate actions like stock splits and dividend adjustments, removing the need for manual investor intervention. While the offering currently operates under the approval of the ADGM’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority, Binance has implemented strict geographic restrictions, explicitly excluding U.S. persons from participating in these secondary market trades.
