The Binance stock token market was introduced on Monday (April 12). This new initiative from the leading cryptocurrency exchange enables the public to access or buy/sell shares of popular companies listed on the stock market. Notably, many people are unable to access the US stock market, probably because of their jurisdiction and regulations. However, Binance is bridging this gap by introducing tokenized stocks trading on its platform.
So, this article will inform you on how to trade Binance stocks tokens on mobile or desktop, which is as easy as buying cryptocurrencies on the exchange. Before that, let’s look at the meaning of tokenized stocks.
What are stock tokens?
Stock tokens are simply the tokenized version of company shares trading ok traditional exchanges like NASDAQ or NYSE. These tokens are pegged 1:1 to the underlying assets. Hence, the price of the real stock would be the same as the tokenized stock, meaning that the tokens will increase or decrease in value in accordance with the underlying assets.
Binance Stock Tokens are zero-commission digital tokens fully backed by a depository portfolio of underlying securities that represents the outstanding tokens. Holders of stock tokens qualify for economic returns on the underlying shares, including potential dividends.
