On February 5, Binance announced it will gradually launch five new U.S. stock USDT-margined perpetual contracts starting February 9, including MSTR (Strategy), AMZN (Amazon), CRCL (Circle), COIN (Coinbase), and PLTR (Palantir). Upon completion, Binance’s U.S. stock contract offerings will increase to eight assets, while total TradFi market trading instruments on the platform will reach twelve.
Expansion Into U.S. Stocks and Precious Metals Products
Recently, Binance has already introduced perpetual contracts for TSLA (Tesla), Intel, and Robinhood. In addition, the platform has launched precious metals contracts, including gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, demonstrating continued expansion into traditional financial asset derivatives.
From Tokenized Stocks to Derivatives Trading Evolution
In 2021, Binance introduced BUSD-denominated tokenized stock products, with Tesla as the first listed asset. These offerings were structured as synthetic assets rather than direct equity ownership and were gradually discontinued in July 2021 due to regulatory pressure. With the regulatory environment evolving in recent years, tokenization has once again become a key pathway for integrating crypto markets with traditional finance, enabling users to access related products across centralized and decentralized platforms.
Risk and Compliance Considerations Amid Derivatives Expansion
As TradFi assets enter the crypto derivatives ecosystem, trading structures and fund flows are becoming increasingly complex. Some institutions utilize on-chain monitoring systems such as Trustformer KYT to continuously observe transaction behavior and capital movement, enhancing risk detection capabilities and strengthening compliance management.
Conclusion
From U.S. stock perpetual contracts to precious metals derivatives, Binance continues expanding the role of traditional financial assets within the crypto trading landscape. As tokenization and derivatives innovation accelerate, industry focus is expected to intensify around regulatory frameworks, trading transparency, and risk control mechanisms.
