Recently attended a class reunion. Our old class president showed up in a luxury car, talking big about how he’s into traditional investments and wealth management, boasting about his annual returns. Everyone at the table was hyping him up. Then someone turned to the quietest guy in our class, Xiao A, and asked, “How’s life treating you? Still staring at Tesla stock every day?” He just smiled and didn’t say much. The class president jumped in, “The U.S. stock market? That stuff’s impossible for regular folks to figure out. Opening an account is a hassle, currency exchange is a pain—if you don’t have connections, don’t even bother.” The vibe got a little awkward, like Xiao A didn’t fit in with the rest of the group. It wasn’t until someone brought up investment platforms that Xiao A finally spoke up, slowly: “I didn’t mess with anything complicated. Just bought U.S. stocks on Binance. Took me a few minutes to open an account, and it’s as easy as my usual trades.” No one really took it seriously, so he added: “I happened to catch that Tesla rally, and with how easy it is to deposit and withdraw on Binance, my returns over the past few years have been way better than working a regular job.” People didn’t believe him, so he casually pulled out his phone and showed the person next to him. The room went dead silent. Later, he mentioned that Binance’s U.S. stock feature hit $1 billion in assets under management within just 30 days of launching, with total trading volume exceeding $3 billion and daily net inflows of $41 million. Most of the users are regular folks like him—73% are from emerging markets, many of whom were previously shut out by traditional barriers. The smile on the class president’s face slowly froze. The loudest guy in the room suddenly had nothing to say in front of someone quietly making real money. Open the Binance app, go to the bottom navigation bar and select “Markets,” then choose “Traditional Finance” at the top to see all the supported stock categories. Over 7,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs available, with fractional trading starting at just $5. Don’t forget to update your app: iOS 3.15 or later Android 3.15.7 or later
