Today can definitely be called a landmark day for the crypto world shifting towards U.S. stocks. For many crypto users, it’s not that they don’t want to buy U.S. stocks—it’s just that the traditional process is too much of a hassle: opening an account with an overseas brokerage, submitting documents, converting to USD, making cross-border deposits, waiting for funds to arrive, and then managing holdings, dividends, and records in a completely separate system after trading. This process might seem normal for traditional investors, but for crypto users, it feels completely disconnected. Someone who’s already used to USDT, on-chain transfers, CEX spot contracts, and 24/7 capital flows suddenly having to go back to the traditional brokerage system of account opening, currency exchange, and bank transfers—it’s honestly a step backward in terms of experience. So now that exchanges are diving into U.S. stocks, it’s not just about adding a “U.S. stock patch.” At its core, it’s about capturing a much bigger market: whoever can make stablecoins connect more seamlessly to global mainstream assets will have the chance to evolve from a crypto exchange into a global asset exchange. In other words, it’s about upgrading from being a “crypto exchange” to becoming a “full-stack financial super app”: crypto + U.S. stocks + forex + precious metals + prediction markets. Whoever completes the most comprehensive financial puzzle will take the biggest share of users’ wallets. BN is definitely making a big move here.
