Binance is considering adding stock exposure from Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Brazil as it tries to become an all-in-one trading platform, co-CEO Richard Teng said.

01Summary

  1. 01Richard Teng told Fortune that Binance is looking at user demand for exposure to the top 10 stocks in Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Brazil.
  2. 02Binance introduced trading in tokenised US stocks and commodity derivatives in 2026, including precious metals and oil.
  3. 03The exchange also rolled out pre-IPO perpetual futures contracts settled in USDT, allowing traders to speculate on private companies such as Anthropic.
  4. 04Bitcoin and other crypto prices remain far below their October 2025 highs, while Coinbase reported a net loss of $359.5 million in Q2 2026.

02Why it matters

The move shows Binance pushing beyond crypto into broader markets, which could change how people access shares and other assets. It also reflects pressure on crypto exchanges to widen their offerings as digital asset trading slows.
