Binance Adds Microsoft, Meta, Palantir bStocks as Tokenized Equities Surge Past $100M
Binance has expanded its bStocks offering by adding tokenized versions of Microsoft (MSFTB), Meta (METAB), Palantir (PLTRB), Lumentum (LITEB), and the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQB). These 1:1 tokenized US securities launched on June 30, trading against USDT with zero maker fees until August 31. The expansion comes as bStocks assets under management crossed $100 million within 15 days of launch—an 18x increase from $5.6 million—and cumulative trading volume reached $458 million. bStocks allow 24/7 trading, fractional ownership, and instant conversion to direct stock positions at no cost, but do not grant voting rights or cash dividends. Approximately 47% of trading volume occurs outside US market hours, and 58% of activity comes from emerging markets. The tokenized equities turnover 4–21x faster than their underlying stocks, indicating strong demand from crypto-native users. Binance now holds 55.7% of the $347 billion global RWA derivatives market, and these additions strengthen its lead in the tokenized equity sector.
