Binance Offers Options on US Stocks and ETFs through Global Partnership

Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, has expanded its offerings by providing customers access to options tied to more than 1,000 US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) through a partnership.

The contracts are available only to users outside the US and can be accessed via Binance's Abu Dhabi entity Nest Trading Limited in collaboration with Alpaca Securities LLC, a US-registered broker-dealer.

This move is part of Binance's efforts to offer products tied to traditional assets on its platform, following the introduction of tokenized securities and perpetual futures.
