Binance announced on Monday a major expansion to its investment offering, giving traders access to U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs on its platform. The move makes it easier to access both crypto and traditional financial assets on one platform.
The announcement marks an important step in Binance’s mission to build a more seamless and accessible financial experience for users around the world.
With stocks now available alongside crypto on Binance, users can diversify more easily, respond to market opportunities faster and manage more of their portfolios from a platform they already trust.
Binance opens access to over 7,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs
Binance said the new offering allows users to trade more than 7,000 U.S.-listed stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) alongside their cryptocurrency holdings through a single account, eliminating the need to switch between multiple platforms.
The service supports fractional share investing from as little as $5, enabling users to gain exposure to equities with a lower upfront commitment. Stocks and ETFs can also be traded 24 hours a day, five days a week, while purchases can be funded using supported balances on Binance, including select stablecoins and BNB.
The exchange added that stock and ETF trades carry zero commission fees, with a minimum platform fee of $0.35 per order or 10 basis points on orders above $350.

Binance to launch bStocks
Binance said the stock trading service is designed to provide users with access to multiple asset classes through a single platform, reflecting growing demand for flexible trading hours and integrated portfolio management.
The exchange said users can manage cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and BNB, alongside U.S. stocks and ETFs within one account, eliminating the need to switch between crypto platforms and traditional brokerages.
Binance added that it plans to expand the offering with the launch of bStocks, tokenized securities that are representations of select U.S. stocks and ETFs. Users will be able to easily convert their equity holdings on Binance to on-chain assets. The official launch of bStocks is planned for the coming weeks.
