Binance Launches Access to 7,000 U.S. Stocks and ETFs

 

Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has launched access to more than 7,000 U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for traders outside the United States.

 

The launch, announced on Monday, will give non-U.S. traders access to a range of U.S.-listed stocks, including major companies such as Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia, all within the Binance app.

 

 

To make investing more accessible, Binance has enabled users to purchase fractional shares with as little as $5. Traders will also be able to buy and sell U.S. stocks and ETFs with zero commissions, subject to a minimum platform fee of $0.35 per order or 10 basis points on orders above $350.

 

According to Binance, stock trading on the platform will be available 24 hours a day, five days a week. Because the service is integrated into the Binance app, users will no longer need to switch between platforms to manage different asset classes. Both stock and cryptocurrency holdings will be accessible through a single account.

 

The launch of U.S. stocks and ETFs for non-U.S. traders marks a significant step in Binance's effort to become a multi-asset financial super app.

 

"We have set out to reach the next 3 billion users, and to do that, we need to make it simpler for users to access opportunities across asset classes, diversify their portfolios, and move more easily between traditional investing and on-chain finance," said Yi He, a co-founder of Binance. "That is what a multi-asset financial super app should help people do," she added.

 

As part of the rollout, Binance said it will soon launch bStocks, tokenized securities that represent selected U.S. stocks and ETFs. Users will be able to convert their bStocks holdings into on-chain assets. The launch is expected in the coming weeks, with Binance saying additional details will be released at a later date.

 

The launch follows Binance's recent introduction of a wallet-lockdown feature designed to help prevent wrench attacks. Meanwhile, Steve Gregory, chief executive officer of Binance.US, is scheduled to speak at the upcoming Rare Evo 2026, which will take place from July 28 to July 31, 2026.
