Can Binance Trade Stocks?

Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, can now trade stocks. The Malta-based company announced the launch of its new trading platform, Binance Stock, on Thursday.

The new platform will allow users to trade fractional shares of companies listed on U.S.

stock exchanges. Binance will initially offer trading for Tesla, Apple, Google parent Alphabet, and Microsoft.

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said in a blog post that the launch of Binance Stock is part of the company’s mission to “increase the freedom of money.”

“With Binance Stock, we are expanding our mission to increase the freedom of money for everyone, everywhere,” Zhao said. “By offering fractional shares, we are making it possible for more people to easily and affordably invest in some of the world’s most popular companies.”

NOTE: Warning: Trading stocks on Binance is not recommended and is not supported by the platform. Investing in stocks carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. It is important to understand the risks associated with stock trading and make sure that you are comfortable with the level of risk involved before engaging in any stock trading activities.

Binance first announced its plans to launch a stock trading platform in December 2020. The launch comes as cryptocurrency exchanges have been increasingly looking to offer traditional financial products and services.

Coinbase, the largest U.

-based cryptocurrency exchange, went public on Wednesday through a direct listing on NAsdaq. The company is now valued at over $85 billion.

Bittrex, another major cryptocurrency exchange, also offers stock trading. The Seattle-based company launched its Bittrex Brokerage service in December 2020.

The launch of Binance Stock is part of the company’s efforts to become a one-stop shop for financial services. In addition to its cryptocurrency exchange business, Binance also offers a lending platform, a payments service, and a venture capital fund.

The new stock trading platform is currently available in select jurisdictions and will roll out globally in the coming months.
