Binance's Entry into the US Stock Options Market Marks Expansion Beyond Crypto

  • Cryptocurrency exchange Binance continues to expand beyond crypto trading.
  • In partnership with Alpaca Securities, the company launched options on 1000 US stocks and ETF.

Binance has launched options on 1000 US stocks and ETFs for users outside the US, expanding its product lineup, which already includes direct investments in stocks and ETFs , tokenized securities, and stock-linked perpetual futures.

The product, launched in partnership with U.S.-registered broker-dealer Alpaca Securities LLC, is part of a broader trend toward super apps that can meet user demand for multiple assets.

Users outside the US can now trade options on over 1000 US stocks and ETFs through Binance 's Abu Dhabi subsidiary, Nest Trading Limited.

It is licensed by ADGM and acts as an intermediary broker, accepting client order flows, allowing access to new products (cryptocurrencies, stocks, ETFs , tokenized securities, and equity-linked perpetual notes) from a single Binance account.

According to Binance , TradFi perpetual futures trading volume on its platform reached $433,4 billion in August 2026, approximately 15 times higher than in January.

Options do not guarantee ownership of the underlying securities. Upon option exercise, users receive or transfer the corresponding shares or ETF units held by Alpaca on behalf of Binance users . Exercise requests can be submitted up to 30 minutes before expiration.

Stock options trading will be available from 9:30 AM to 16:00 PM ET. Some ETF and ETN options are subject to late-close exceptions and may continue trading until 16:15 PM ET.
