Financial markets are evolving.

More access, more choice, more ways to participate in the financial system.

Security remains one of the most important parts of building trust in crypto.

In H1 2026, Binance Wallet Security Center helped users avoid ~$540M in potential losses.

As AI makes attacks more sophisticated, taking a few extra seconds to verify and review can make a big difference.

Think before you click. 🔐

Scammers only need one mistake.

Anthropic’s IPO is getting closer.

But price discovery has already started.

Binance’s pre-IPO market gives a real-time view of how the market is valuing Anthropic, currently implying ~$2T.

Interesting to watch.

[Binance Research @BinanceResearch]

Pre-IPO markets moved first.

In August, ANTHROPICUSDT briefly implied ~US$2.0T (~2× Series H; ~30× run-rate / ~10× 2028 revenue midpoint in our cut).

Mid-October marketing delays the calendar — the valuation debate stays the same: how much of the listing is already in the pre-IPO curve.

Full chart in our September MMI.

Astra is a very powerful new AI model.

Binance Agent OS now works with it, so developers can use Astra together with Binance’s market data, trading tools, and liquidity.

[Jensen Huang @JensenHuang]

@ChaseLochmiller @OpenAI GPT-6 Astra, trained on ~100K+ NVIDIA Grace Blackwell NVLink72. From ChatGPT to o1 to Astra in 4 years.

AGI has arrived. Congratulations @OpenAI team.

400K GPUs coming online next.

Thanks, @MO_BSCHAIN, for taking us back in time 😂

What would @_RichardTeng look like if he were an 80s tech guy?

Kazakhstan is moving fast on digital finance.

Binance signed three strategic MoUs in Kazakhstan focused on:
• Stablecoin research
• New payment solutions
• Digital assets in investment infrastructure

Building the rails for what’s next. 🏗️

As @jeffjohnroberts tweet indicates, illicit actors are increasingly aware that major compliant platforms like Binance are not safe places for them to operate.

Binance’s priority is to protect users and help law enforcement disrupt illicit finance.

We have made significant investments in compliance, sanctions controls, transaction monitoring, and investigative capabilities, and we continue to work closely with authorities around the world to combat terrorist financing and other financial crime.

How are high-net-worth investors positioning their stock portfolios?

A closer look at the barbell strategy emerging among HNW users on @binance 👇

[Binance Research @BinanceResearch]

High net-worth individual fund 38.8% of the direct US equity book on Binance, but not evenly.

The four sectors they fund most:
🔸 Utilities 42.4%
🔸 Consumer Defensive 41.1%
🔸 Healthcare 40.7%
🔸 Technology 40.7%

Growth at one end, ballast at the other. Cyclicals 30–35%.

A barbell.

[Richard Teng @_RichardTeng]

The lines between traditional finance and digital assets continue to converge.

We’re seeing this reflected in how users engage across products, with high-net-worth users showing particularly strong adoption of TradFi offerings on Binance.

[Binance Research @BinanceResearch]

High net-worth individuals adopt TradFi fast.

🔸 TradFi Perps: 19.4% vs 1.31% all users (15×)
🔸 bStocks: 8.85% vs 0.35% (25×)
🔸 Direct Equities: 9.11% vs 0.21% (42×)

Yet they're just less than 1% of each product's trader base. Early at the top, wide open below.

Interesting read from @DefiLlama on what actually drove Bitcoin’s August rally:

> Binance added $2.63B in BTC balances
> Binance captured 46% of tracked spot volume during the breakout
> Average daily spot volume on Binance rose from $4.75B to $13.69B, up 188%

[Richard Teng @_RichardTeng]

Had a great conversation with @paulbarron about the momentum behind TradFi on Binance.

@binance now leads RWA perps among CEXs, with more than half of tokenized stock perp volume.

Check out 3 ways users are already using Binance Agent OS ↓

[Richard Teng @_RichardTeng]

The most interesting shift in fintech right now isn't a new app - it's infrastructure meeting people where they already are.

Binance Agent OS brings market data, trading, wallets, and payments directly into the AI tools people use daily, via the Binance MCP server.

[Richard Teng @_RichardTeng]

Large trades used to mean long settlement times and layers of intermediaries - but that's changing.

A recent $43M block trade settled in an hour, with zero exchange fees, a small example of how market infrastructure is catching up to the scale institutions now expect.

[Binance VIP & Institutional @BinanceVIP]

$43M in one block. Settled in an hour. Zero exchange fees.

Binance OTC volumes are up 2.4x year-on-year, and every $1 counts $4 toward your VIP spot requirement. The fastest path to VIP just got faster.

Sat down for a special episode of Yellow Sofa with @Binance_TH_ 🇹🇭

We talked digital asset trends, and I got to share a first look at #BinanceBlockchainWeek Bangkok 2026 - Asia Edition.

$20B.

That’s how much volume has now moved through onchain stock trading.

Why? Because it works.

Faster settlement. Broader access. And a system that doesn’t sleep when markets close.

[Binance Research @BinanceResearch]

@bstocksfinance : US$20B and counting.

Since its June launch, bStocks' cumulative DEX volume has topped $20B, ~60% of all tokenized equities DEX volume.

@BNBCHAIN now leads all chains in tokenized equities volume.

The opening bell no longer defines when markets react.

In a 24/7 world, weekends have become part of price discovery.

[Binance Research @BinanceResearch]

GM, two forces reshaped markets last week:

AI earnings ($NVDA et al) confirmed capex & compute demand stays strong — but the focus shifted from "is there AI demand?" to "who actually delivers revenue & profit?"

Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole signal pushed rate expectations & yields up, squeezing growth valuations.

These two forces collided. During the highlighted weekend window, $UVXY rose approximately 3.2%, while $SKHY hynix fell 3.0% and the leveraged CSOP ETF declined 5.7%. By Monday after the open, the moves had extended to approximately +4.8%, −5.3%, and −11.4%, respectively.

The three instruments therefore formed a consistent risk-off pattern: volatility protection strengthened, AI-sensitive exposure weakened, and the leveraged product amplified the underlying move.
