A major step in Binance's vision to build a multi-asset financial super app for investing, trading, and on-chain finance

ABU DHABI, UAE, June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Binance today introduced U.S. equities trading, giving eligible users access to more than 7,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs. The launch reflects Binance's belief that financial inclusion grows meaningfully when access to opportunities becomes simpler and more integrated. Binance will also soon introduce tokenized U.S. stocks, marking another step in its vision of 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, co-founder and co-CEO of Binance. "That is what a multi-asset financial super app should help people do."

Enabled through Binance's ADGM broker-dealer, Nest Trading Limited, the new offering expands Binance's multi-asset platform by bringing U.S. equities trading and a path to tokenization into a unified user experience. By reducing friction around how users access and hold major traditional assets, Binance is building on an approach already proven in products like perpetual futures.

Eligible users will be able to trade U.S. equities with zero commission, purchase fractional shares starting at just $5, and have direct ownership of the equities held by a U.S.-regulated clearing broker, including eligibility for applicable dividends and corporate actions. Select equities will also be available for 24/5 trading. Purchases will primarily be made using USDC, with support for BNB, USDT, USD1, and $U, and sale proceeds will be received in USDC. Fully Paid Securities Lending (FPSL) will be available, allowing eligible users to earn passive income by lending their stock holdings.

In the coming weeks and subject to regulatory approvals, Binance will also introduce bStocks, tokenized securities representing select U.S. stocks and ETFs, issued by BTECH Holdings Ltd, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) registered in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). Once launched, bStocks tokenized securities will be available for trading on Binance Exchange.

As the largest digital assets exchange by trading volume and users, Binance will offer a native bridge from traditional stock ownership to programmable, always-on tokenized assets at a global scale that few others can match. This unlocks mobility and utility for real-world equities within and beyond the Binance ecosystem, enabling continuous on-chain access and potential DeFi applications, from lending to liquidity provision.

"Tokenization has the potential to reshape financial markets by giving users greater control, more flexibility, and ultimately more financial freedom," said Richard Teng, co-CEO of Binance. "We see a significant opportunity to make financial assets more accessible, more useful, and more connected across traditional and digital markets."

Wenige Stunden vor dem offiziellen Start der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2026 geraten die Vereinigten Staaten als Gastgeberland wegen ihrer Migrations- und Einreisepolitik unter wachsenden internationalen Druck. Der UN-Hochkommissar für Menschenrechte, Volker Türk, rief Washington dazu auf, die Umsetzung seiner migrationspolitischen Vorgaben „in der Tiefe“ zu überprüfen. Anlass sind eine Reihe von Zwischenfällen rund um die Anreise von Spielern und Delegationen, die die Debatte über die Vereinbarkeit der US-Praxis mit internationalen Menschenrechtsstandards neu entfacht haben.

Besonders kritisiert werden administrative Hürden und Pannen bei der Einreise, von denen laut Türk auch offizielle Delegationen betroffen waren. In diesem Zusammenhang werden unter anderem Probleme beim Zugang zu Visa und Kontrollen bei der Ankunft genannt; ein Fokus liegt auf den Schwierigkeiten, mit denen Vertreter des Iran konfrontiert gewesen sein sollen. Für den Menschenrechtschef der Vereinten Nationen steht dabei weniger die grundsätzliche Souveränität der USA in Migrationsfragen im Zentrum, als vielmehr die Art und Weise, wie diese Politik angewendet wird und welche Folgen sie für die „Menschenrechte und die menschliche Würde“ hat.

Türk appellierte in einer Pressekonferenz in Genf an die US-Regierung, gerade mit Blick auf die Weltmeisterschaft die bestehenden Verfahren zu überdenken. Die aktuell vorherrschenden Politiken müssten so angepasst werden, dass sie den Anforderungen eines globalen Sportereignisses besser gerecht werden, sagte er sinngemäß. Die Erwartung der UN-Seite: Ein Regime, das einerseits die Sicherheitsinteressen des Gastgeberlandes wahrt, andererseits aber die Bewegungsfreiheit von Spielern, Funktionären und Fans nicht unnötig einschränkt oder zu demütigenden Situationen führt.

Der Weltverband FIFA versucht derweil, Distanz zur Auseinandersetzung zu halten und verweist auf die Zuständigkeit des Gastgeberstaates. Man greife nicht in Einwanderungsverfahren oder Visa-Entscheidungen des Austragungslandes ein, betont die Organisation. Dennoch wächst die Sorge, dass ungeklärte Fragen im Grenz- und Visaregime weitere Reibungsverluste produzieren und damit den Ablauf des Turniers stören könnten. Sollten die kritisierten Punkte nicht rasch adressiert werden, drohen die organisatorischen Probleme, die Erzählung der WM schon vor dem ersten Anpfiff zu überlagern.
