Binance Brings Equities Trading to Crypto Users
Binance Stock Options recently went live on September 1, 2026, allowing users to trade calls and puts on over 1,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs from a single app. This includes well-known names like Tesla and Nvidia.
The product runs through Nest Trading Limited, Binance's broker-dealer regulated by the Abu Dhabi Global Market. Orders are routed to Alpaca Securities LLC, a self-clearing broker-dealer and FINRA member, which handles execution, clearing, settlement, and custody.
These contracts are physically settled, meaning exercising a contract results in real shares, not cash. Alpaca holds those shares in custody for users.
