Crypto exchange Binance has officially expanded into traditional equities by launching direct U.S. stock and ETF trading for eligible non-U.S. users. Accompanying this rollout is the announcement of "bStocks," an upcoming feature that will allow users to convert their traditional equity holdings into tokenized securities directly on the BNB Chain.

The new feature enables Binance users to trade over 7,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs using existing crypto balances, including stablecoins like USDT and USDC, as well as Binance's native token, BNB.
