Binance’s bStocks Tops $500 Million AUM Seven Weeks After Launch

The company says rapid growth reflects heavy use by crypto-native and Gen Z investors who trade one-to-one tokenized certificates outside U.S. market hours.

Binance says four in ten bstocks users are new to traditional investing
Binance bStocks Reaches $500 Million in AUM as a New Generation of Investors Turns to Tokenized Stocks

Overview

  • Binance disclosed Wednesday that bStocks surpassed $500 million in assets under management seven weeks after the product launched on June 11.
  • The tokenized instruments expanded from five listings at launch to more than 46 tickers, including Apple, Amazon and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, and trade 24/7.
  • Binance reports that 41.5% of bStocks users were new to traditional investing and that Gen Z accounts for 44% of bStocks activity, with $2 billion traded during a recent weekend.
  • bStocks are issued by BTech Holdings Ltd under an ADGM FSRA-approved prospectus and are structured as one-to-one backed certificates that give holders an interest in underlying U.S. securities rather than direct share ownership.
  • Binance frames bStocks as part of a wider ‘super app’ push that links tokenized assets, brokerage and payments, a strategy that follows its 2021 stock-token exit and could raise fresh regulatory scrutiny as usage grows.
