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

Binance has expanded its offerings in traditional finance by launching options trading on over 1,000 US stocks and exchange-traded funds for eligible users outside the United States.

The options will be offered through Binance's Abu Dhabi-regulated broker-dealer, Nest Trading, with orders routed to US-registered Alpaca Securities for execution, clearing, settlement, and custody.

This move builds on Binance's existing equities offering of over 7,000 US stocks and ETFs and adds to its growing lineup of traditional financial products available through the platform.

The options are physically settled, meaning users who exercise them will receive or deliver the underlying shares.

Binance notes that trading in traditional financial products on the platform has accelerated, with TradFi perpetual futures volume reaching around $433 billion in August, roughly 15 times January's total.
