Binance quickly seizes the US stock market! Real US stocks+bStocks (tokenized stocks on the chain), with Alpaca custody and clearing at the bottom layer, have been officially announced online today (non US users can directly buy 7000+US stocks/ETFs using USDT/USDC/BNB, etc., with support for investing in fragmented stocks starting at $5) Alpaca is a licensed brokerage firm in the United States (SIPC protected) that has previously integrated with Kraken. This time Binance is using their Broker API, and Alpaca is responsible for custody, clearing, dividends, bonuses, and company actions. The user is buying "real stocks" (not synthetic/contract), and the financial security is one dimension higher than pure crypto Because it has just been launched, many users have reported that the K-line has not fully synchronized with real-time data from the US stock market, and the depth of the order book cannot be seen temporarily. However, this is a technical iteration issue, not a product direction issue. Alpaca's API itself is very mature, Binance 6.1 has just been launched, and the weekly minor version optimization will keep up, just like the previous Web3 wallet. At the beginning, everyone found it difficult to use! It only started to be useful after the update later Retail investors do not need to open Hong Kong and US stock accounts, go through identity authentication, apply for cards, or face various bizarre requirements from traditional securities firms. They can directly buy AAPL, TSLA, NVDA... for 95% of users, it is indeed enough Not just 'listing on the US stock market', it may expand into an RWA portal in the future (Ondo, BlackRock are both playing with this). Binance directly turns 7000 US stocks into programmable assets on BNB Chain Binance has directly eliminated the traditional financial threshold that is the most headache inducing for users. The increment is tangible, and in the short term, it benefits the BNB and Binance ecosystems. In the medium to long term, the key is to see who can retain these new users. @heyibinance @binance
