Binance Adds Stock Options for Global Users
Binance has expanded its offerings to include U.S. stock options on over 1,000 selected stocks and ETFs through Nest Trading Limited, its Abu Dhabi Global Market-regulated broker-dealer.
The introduction of stock options builds on Binance's existing U.S. equities offering, which includes 7,000+ stocks and ETFs through the partnership with Alpaca Securities LLC (dba Alpaca Clearing), a US-registered self-clearing broker-dealer and FINRA member.
'Stock options are an important next step in Binance's evolution into a fuller multi-asset platform,' said Shunyet Jan, Head of Exchange and Trading at Binance. 'By adding options on selected U.S. stocks and ETFs, we are expanding the tools available to users who want to participate in equity markets, manage exposure, and access strategies that have historically been offered through traditional brokers -- all from one Binance account.'
The stock options will be operated through Binance's ADGM-regulated broker-dealer, with orders executed, cleared, and custodied by Alpaca Clearing.
