Binance Expands Options Trading to 1,000 US Stocks and ETFs

Binance has introduced physically settled options for over 1,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs, allowing qualified users outside the U.S. to access traditional securities contracts through a cryptocurrency-based account.

The new feature represents at least 14.3% of the more than 7,000 cash-equity listings on Binance and has already seen significant activity in its first week, with U.S. stock assets surpassing $400 million.

Shunyet Jan, exchange and trading chief, stated that 'stock options are an important next step' for users to handle equity exposure through a single Binance account.
