Binance has expanded beyond crypto by offering qualified users outside the United States access to more than 7,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, with 24/5 trading, stablecoin settlements and tokenized bStocks that can be traded, withdrawn and leveraged on-chain. The rollout coincides with a phased migration of crypto holdings from Funding Accounts to Spot Accounts beginning September 29, 2026; the Funding Account will be renamed Stocks Account by January 2027 for equity and stock-options settlements. BNB traded near $761 on September 23, down 3.3% daily but up 7.4% over seven days, after reaching $799.67, while more than 80% of first-week direct stock-trading volume came from emerging regions. Binance Research said total cryptocurrency market capitalization rose 17.6% in September 2026 to $2.7 trillion, while regulatory and liquidity risks remain relevant to the expansion.
