Binance adds options on more than 1,000 US stocks and ETFs

Binance is adding stock options to its growing suite of traditional financial products, launching options on more than 1,000 selected US stocks and ETFs for eligible users outside the US, the company said Tuesday.

The offering will operate through Nest Trading Limited, Binance’s broker-dealer regulated by the Abu Dhabi Global Market. Nest Trading will introduce customer orders to Alpaca Securities LLC, or Alpaca Clearing, which will execute, clear, settle and custody the trades. The products will not be available to US users.

The move expands Binance’s existing access to US equities, which covers more than 7,000 stocks and ETFs, and adds options alongside equity-linked perpetual futures, bStocks and Binance’s crypto products. The company said the offering is part of its ongoing effort to give users exposure to multiple asset classes through one account.

The launch comes as demand for Binance’s TradFi products has risen sharply in 2026. As reported by the exchange, trading volume in TradFi perpetual futures climbed to approximately $433 billion in August from nearly $30 billion in January. Equity-linked perpetuals made up roughly 79% of August’s TradFi perpetual volume, approaching $343 billion compared with more than $410 million in January.

The new options will be physically settled. When an option is exercised, the buyer receives or delivers the underlying shares, which will remain in custody with Alpaca. Users can submit exercise requests until 30 minutes before an option expires.

Eligible retail customers will have access to calls and puts. The instruments will provide additional ways to take positions on stocks, hedge existing exposure and manage portfolio risk. For option buyers, the maximum potential loss is limited to the premium paid.

Additional options listings are expected as the platform expands, while Binance will apply onboarding, compliance, education and risk-disclosure measures required under its regulatory framework.
