Binance Launches US Stock Trading for Crypto Users

Key Takeaways

 

  • Binance now supports trading of over 7,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs for eligible non-US users.
  • Fractional shares start at $5 with zero commission fees; trading runs 24/5 and can be funded with stablecoins or BNB.
  • Platform fees are $0.35 per order, or 10 bps for orders above $350.

 

Binance users can now buy and sell US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) without ever leaving their crypto account. The world’s largest crypto exchange launched access to more than 7,000 US-listed equities on 1 June for eligible non-US users — no separate brokerage account, no new identity verification, no app-switching.

 

 

Co-CEO Yi He framed the launch as a step toward reaching the next 3 billion users, saying the goal is to make it simpler for people to access opportunities across asset classes and move between traditional investing and onchain finance.

 

 

What you can actually do

The asset range is broad, covering stocks and ETFs across major US indexes. Fractional shares are available from $5 with zero commission fees. Trading runs 24/5 and can be funded directly with stablecoins or BNB (BNB). The platform fee is $0.35 per order, or 10 basis points for orders above $350.

How it works behind the scenes

Binance is the front end here, not the broker. Abu Dhabi-regulated firm Nest Trading acts as the broker-dealer responsible for routing and executing orders, while New York-based Alpaca handles custody of the underlying shares, dividend payments, and other corporate actions.

 

The service is only available to non-US customers due to US securities regulations, so users in the United States will be blocked from the feature at launch. Eligibility varies by region; users should check Binance’s terms for their specific country.

What’s coming next: bStocks

Binance is going a step further with a product called bStocks. The feature is expected to allow users to convert selected US equity holdings into blockchain-based assets on BNB Chain, potentially enabling them to initiate the conversion themselves.

 

 

The broader tokenized real-world asset market reached $19.3 billion in market capitalization as of March 2026, and bStocks would place Binance squarely within that space. That said, bStocks are not stocks or shares and do not give holders direct ownership in any underlying company. Their issuance remains subject to regulatory approval by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA).
