Binance Adds Stock Options to Multi-Asset Platform
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 move builds on Binance's existing U.S. equities offering, which includes 7,000+ stocks and ETFs through Nest Trading Limited's partnership with Alpaca.
Users can access stocks, ETFs, bStocks (tokenized securities), equity-linked perpetual futures, and now stock options from a single Binance account.
The launch of stock options is part of Binance's evolution into a fuller multi-asset platform, according to Shunyet Jan, Head of Exchange and Trading at Binance.
Alpaca Clearing, a U.S.-registered self-clearing broker-dealer and FINRA member, will execute, clear, settle, and custody orders for stock options.
