Binance Brings Options Trading to Over 1,000 U.S. Stocks and ETFs

Binance has launched physically settled options on more than 1,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs, available to eligible non-U.S. users through Nest Trading Limited.

These options allow users to buy or sell underlying shares at a predetermined strike price on a specific expiration date, with Alpaca holding the shares in custody on behalf of Binance users.

The launch builds on Binance's existing U.S. equities offering, which provides access to over 7,000 stocks and ETFs through Nest Trading's relationship with Alpaca.

Binance said that for retail users who qualify for options trading, the maximum potential loss for buyers is generally limited to the premium paid, and fees will primarily be paid in USDC, with support for BNB, USDT, USD1, and U (where available).
