Binance to List 5 New bStocks Pairs, Incl. GE Vernova, Applovin

Binance will open spot trading in five bStocks tokenized securities at 12:00 UTC on Oct. 28 (8:00 AM ET), according to the exchange's announcement. All pairs are quoted in USDT: APPB (Applovin Corp), BSPB (Bending Spoons), GEVB (GE Vernova), plus SKDDB and SKUUB, tracking GraniteShares 2x Short and 2x Long SK Hynix Daily ETFs. Binance also extended its zero maker fee promotion for all bStocks pairs until 23:59 UTC on Nov. 30.

Details

Spot algo trading bots start with the listing, while rebalancing bots will be enabled within 24 hours. Within an hour of the spot launch, users can trade bStocks against BTC, USDT and other tokens on Binance Convert with zero fees. Withdrawals of the five tokens open at 13:00 UTC (9:00 AM ET).

Users can already tokenize their direct stock holdings into bStocks at a 1:1 ratio with no conversion fee. The tokens live on BNB Smart Chain; contract addresses are listed in the announcement.

Binance stresses the limits: bStocks are not offered in the United States or to US persons, they are certificates representing financial instruments rather than shares, and holders get no direct ownership of the underlying company. The product is offered under an approved prospectus in ADGM (Abu Dhabi) to eligible users in permitted jurisdictions only.

What this means for the market

The bStocks lineup keeps growing: in mid-October tokenized stocks on Binance passed $1 billion in assets, and last week the exchange accepted five bStocks as margin collateral. The new batch includes leveraged 2x ETF products, which add risk for holders.

It is another step toward equities and crypto trading side by side on one venue. Track the wider market in the daily briefing and the exchange's own token on the BNB page. This is not investment advice.
