Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, October 15th / PRNewswire / -- Binance Today, it was announced that its 1:1 tokenized U.S. securities bStocks have become the fastest tokenized stock product to exceed a management asset scale of $1 billion ($AUM). According to the on-chain data as of October 15th from Dune Research, this milestone was achieved about four months after its launch on June 11, 2026.
bStocks represents U.S.-listed stocks, and ETF represents their tokenization. Each token is fully backed 1:1 by the corresponding underlying securities. They can be traded around the clock, settled on-chain, transferred between exchanges and wallets, and can be converted 1:1 into direct stock holdings within a single Binance account. Each token can be fully redeemed for the corresponding underlying security itself, not just its cash value, thus maintaining the peg between the token and the stock it represents.
Key data since launch:
- Managing an asset scale of over $1 billion, it has become the tokenized stock product to reach the $1 billion milestone the fastest, achieving this about four months after its launch.
- Since June 11, the cumulative trading volume has exceeded $40 billion, with an average daily trading volume of over $300 million during that period.
- There are nearly 100 bStocks assets online now, whereas there were only 5 when they were launched in June.
- Since its launch, a conversion of $6 billion has been completed between direct stock positions and bStocks. The conversion was carried out at a 1:1 parity, without the need for brokerage transfers or waiting for market opening hours.
Binance The person in charge of trading and transaction business Shunyet Jan states: "The criterion for testing a tokenized stock is not its trading pattern on the day of listing, but whether it continues to function like a market after listing." bStocks These assets can be traded around the clock, used as collateral, transferred between self-hosted wallets, and converted 1:1 into direct stock holdings. Today, there are over $1 billion of such assets on Binance, and they are being utilized, not just held."
bStocks How holders use these assets
- For decentralized finance: At the beginning of October, measured by the total locked-up value (TVL), the utilization rate of bStocks in DeFi rose to 11.2%, which is about 3.8 percentage points higher than the overall level of comparable tokenized stocks.
- Improving Capital Efficiency: As of September 10th, the proportion of outstanding loans secured by the deposited bStocks collateral rose to 46.2%, compared to just 5.5% at the end of June, representing an increase of 8.4 times over that period.
- Adopting an incremental effect: Data as of the end of July indicates that 58.5% of early bStocks users are also trading perpetual contracts and/or direct stocks on Binance.
Tokenization and the demand for 24/7 trading continue to grow.
- In July, only 38% of the trading volume between Binance and bStocks occurred during the regular trading hours in the United States, whereas for traditional U.S. stocks, this proportion is 89.2%.
- In the third quarter of 2026, the amount of tokenized stock transfers on-chain exceeded $100 billion, representing a more than 16-fold increase from $6 billion in the first quarter; during the peak period at the beginning of August, bStocks accounted for over 90% of the weekly transfer volume.
- Tokenized stocks have become the fastest-growing category of real-world assets in 2026 ( RWA ), with their market value more than quadrupling by the end of September, exceeding $3 billion.
Last month, Binance extended the collateral support of bStocks to all eligible users. As a result, retail traders can now use the supported bStocks tokens as margin and futures collateral: they can borrow underlying assets to open positions with up to 5x leverage, or use the same tokens simultaneously as collateral for futures positions and as hedging tools. Unlike traditional trading venues that typically only accept cash or cash equivalents as collateral, the tokenized stocks on Binance now serve a dual purpose as both market exposure and collateral. Binance will also continue to expand their use beyond trading to include hedging, margin requirements, and risk management.
