Binance tokenized stocks could channel $2 trillion into global equity markets by 2031

Binance’s research shows that tokenized stock trading on its platform is dominated by emerging markets, with 93% of volume coming from those regions. The exchange estimates that, by 2031, its crypto‑super‑app ecosystem could attract up to 300 million new users and funnel as much as US$2 trillion (or US$5 trillion in a bullish scenario) into global equity markets, largely unlocking participation in the US stock market for investors in China, India and other emerging economies.

In a recent product rollout, Binance added new bStocks trading pairs for Circle, Nvidia, Tesla, Micron and Sandisk, expanding its tokenized‑equity offerings. The bStocks are certificates linked to the underlying shares, trade 1:1 with zero conversion fees, and do not confer voting rights or direct ownership. Binance also hinted at a future SpaceX bStock listing. While the trend promises broader market access, the report notes risks such as regulatory crackdowns on crypto flows, volatility of tokenized assets, and the possibility that holders may not receive traditional dividends.
