Binance reports its tokenized securities platform bStocks has surged to 500 million dollars in assets under management just seven weeks after launching on 11 June. The crypto exchange disclosed that over forty percent of bStocks users are accessing traditional financial markets for the first time through the product, signaling potential disruption in how retail investors enter equities trading.
The platform has rapidly expanded from five listings to forty-six tokenized US stocks and ETFs trading around the clock. Generation Z represents the largest user group at forty-four percent of trading activity, while nearly sixty percent of holders also trade perpetual futures or direct equities. The products operate through BTech Holdings in Abu Dhabi Global Market under approved regulatory frameworks, with tokens backed one-to-one by underlying US securities.
Binance positions this expansion as part of its financial super app strategy, competing directly with Coinbase, Robinhood, and Revolut in merging crypto with traditional finance services. Fifty-eight percent of equity-linked volume occurs outside US market hours.
