Step-by-Step Guide: How to Buy Global Stocks with USDT/USDC

BBX enables users to trade US and Hong Kong equities and global benchmark assets using stablecoins (USDT/USDC) without traditional offshore brokerage accounts or cross-border wire transfers. All stock orders are routed directly to licensed US brokerages and executed on physical exchanges.

FAQ

Is BBX a coin?

No. BBX is a tokenized stock trading platform, not a cryptocurrency. Visit https://bbx.com/learn/is-bbx-a-coin to learn more.

Do deposits and withdrawals require a T+2 waiting period?

No. As long as the blockchain network confirms it (usually within seconds or minutes), your USDT/USDC deposits and withdrawals take effect immediately, unaffected by non-working hours or statutory holidays of traditional banks.

Who custodies my stock assets, and how is my fund security protected?

US equity order routing and execution are powered by Atomic Vaults Securities, LLC (AVS), an SEC-registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA/SIPC. Clearing, settlement, and custody are managed by RQD Clearing, LLC. Underlying assets are protected through independent ring-fenced custody and bankruptcy-remote structures.

Why don't my deposited USDT/USDC show up in my Stock Account immediately?

To maintain risk segregation, BBX uses a modular account structure. All external deposits land first in your central Funding Account. You must manually transfer funds from the Funding Account to the Stock Account before placing stock orders.

Why do internal account transfers incur network fees and require confirmation time?

Fund transfers between the Funding Account and trading accounts interact with underlying on-chain clearing gateways. As a result, transfers require standard blockchain network gas fees and settle according to network confirmation speeds.

Say goodbye to traditional brokerage account barriers and fiat wire waits. Connect your wallet to start trading global assets 24/7 directly using USDT/USDC from your funding account.
