Binance has leaned into the model, and <span>Bitcoin.com<\/span> News reported on the same when it <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/binance-opens-7000-us-stocks-to-global-users-with-commission-free-access\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">opened more than 7,000 U.S. stocks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> to global users with commission-free access, with fractional trades starting as low as $5.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_820386\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-820386\" style=\"width:1782px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-820386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image source: Binance Research<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">That convenience is reshaping who participates, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/research\/analysis\/equity-layer-from-tokens-to-tickers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Binance Research has described<\/a> how emerging-market users increasingly treat <span>crypto<\/span> exchanges like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">everyday banking apps<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">, and the firm estimates the next <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">300 million equity investors<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> will largely come from these regions (i.e. onboarded through exchanges, settling trades in <span>stablecoins<\/span>, and trading 24\/7 rather than within the narrow windows of traditional market hours).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Binance is not alone in chasing the opportunity, given the race to merge <span>crypto<\/span> rails with equity markets has already drawn in the industry\u2019s biggest names, with Coinbase chief executive Brian Armstrong recently predicting that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/brian-armstrong-says-tokenized-stocks-will-be-huge-with-many-opportunities\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">tokenized stocks will be<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> \u201chuge\u201d in the years to come. Not only that, <span>Bitcoin.com<\/span> News also reported that U.S. regulators are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/sec-plans-blockchain-stock-trading-as-tokenized-market-hits-1-4b\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">preparing for blockchain-based stock trading<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> as the tokenized market crossed $1.4 billion last month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The model, however, is not without friction and regulatory scrutiny has already forced retreats in some jurisdictions, with Binance itself <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">pulling back from stock-token trading in Hong Kong<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> a few years ago. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Settling equity exposure through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-are-stablecoins\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stablecoins<\/a> and tokens also raises questions about investor protections, custody and how cleanly these products map onto existing securities rules (all issues that regulators across multiple markets are only beginning to address).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The Next Five Years<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">If Binance Research is even remotely correct, the implications could be large since a $5 trillion annual inflow would represent a meaningful share of global equity activity, much of it from people entering formal markets for the first time. That would extend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a>\u2019s reach far beyond trading tokens, positioning exchanges as distribution channels for mainstream financial assets and pulling hundreds of millions of new participants into stocks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The caveats are real, though, because projections of this size assume regulators allow the model to scale, that emerging-market demand holds, and that stablecoin-settled equities win lasting trust. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-trading-volume\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Volume<\/a> figures across the sector have been uneven, and a single regulatory clampdown can shutter a product overnight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Still, the direction is quite clear, one where exchanges that began as venues for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> and ether are increasingly competing for the world\u2019s stock-trading business.
