Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Binance has opened access to over 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs for non-U.S. customers, offering zero-commission trades and fractional share purchases starting at $5. The crypto exchange also plans to let users convert those shares into blockchain tokens called "bStocks." The service is powered by broker-dealer Nest Trading and custody provider Alpaca Securities, with purchases supported via USDC, USDT, and BNB. Co-CEO Richard Teng described the move as part of building a "multi-asset financial super app." Experts are divided on whether tokenization unlocks growth or introduces new risks.
