Binance Research says crypto users could add $5T a year to equities in five years

The report argues crypto exchanges are becoming a route into global stock markets, with nearly 93% of Binance stock trading users coming from emerging markets.

Summary

Crypto users could contribute $5 trillion in annual incremental equity capital over the next five years, Binance Research said, framing crypto exchanges as an emerging channel for access to global stock markets. The report said nearly 93% of Binance stock trading users come from emerging markets, suggesting demand is being driven largely by regions where traditional cross-border investing can be less accessible. The finding points to a broader convergence between digital-asset platforms and conventional capital markets as exchanges expand beyond token trading into equity-linked offerings.
