Today, Universe launched over 7,000 US stock spot assets and ETFs. The actual operating entity is Nest Trading, and this broker is self-operated by Binance. The ADGM registration date is January 2026, which shows that Binance has been planning to launch US stocks since the beginning of the year. The custodian broker for US stocks is Alpaca, which isn’t very large. It completed its Series D funding round in January 2026, with a valuation of approximately $1.1 billion. Previously, they also worked on an Instant Tokenization Network, collaborating with xStocks, Dinari, Ondo Finance, and The Solana Foundation—familiar names in the crypto space. With this, all major on-chain DEXs and off-chain CEXs in the crypto world have now completed support for trading US stocks and RWA (Real-World Assets). This officially marks the end of the traditional altcoin-dominated trading model. Crypto has officially become an innovative/alternative branch of traditional finance, rather than a financial revolution meant to replace traditional finance. In the coming years, the goal for crypto assets might just be to catch up with the US stock indices.
