Binance just added U.S. stocks and ETFs
Eligible users can now access 7,000+ U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs from the same account they already use for crypto, with fractional shares starting from just $5
For a lot of people, investing still means jumping between different apps depending on what they want to buy
This moves in the opposite direction
Stocks, ETFs, and crypto now sit inside the same experience, with select stocks available for 24/5 trading and access through a crypto-native flow many users already know
It feels less like @binance adding another product and more like Binance bringing more markets into one place
The gap between traditional investing and crypto keeps getting smaller!

Sui links three network halts to bugs introduced in v1.72 upgrade
@SuiFoundation said three mainnet outages across Thursday and Friday were caused by two separate bugs tied to the network’s v1.72 release, including an interim fix that carried a known risk of triggering another halt.
The first two disruptions stemmed from a gas-charging bug, while the third was linked to a separate randomness-state issue during validator restart. Sui said no user funds were at risk and no settled transactions were reversed.
Cardano Summit 2026 canceled after treasury vote falls short
The @Cardano_CF has canceled its planned 2026 summit in Singapore after a treasury funding proposal seeking 7.8 million ADA failed to reach the two-thirds approval threshold required for passage.
The proposal received 65% support, narrowly missing approval despite late endorsements from Charles Hoskinson and Foundation CEO Frederik Gregaard, extending a broader trend of DReps pushing back on treasury spending proposals.
Most retail investors spend years hearing about companies like SpaceX or OpenAI without having any practical way to get exposure
by the time an IPO finally happens, a lot of the opportunity people were interested in has already passed
that’s probably why pre-IPO perps took off so quickly
before @binance entered the category, daily volume across other venues was around $20M. within days of launch, Binance had already taken roughly 65% market share, with cumulative volume reaching $400M
the demand wasn’t limited to one name either. OpenAI pre-IPO perps launched and around 85% of the trading activity ended up on Binance, while SpaceX remained the largest part of the category overall
what stands out is how similar this looks to the early days of equities and commodities perps. both scaled quickly once access improved, and pre-IPO perps seem to be following the same path
turns out the challenge may never have been interest. it was access!
.@binance has introduced zero-fee AED deposits, fixed 10 AED withdrawals, and faster bank transfers for users in the UAE.
The update enables direct AED funding through bank transfers with processing times of up to one business day, making fiat access into crypto more streamlined.
The rollout continues Binance’s expansion of local fiat infrastructure in the UAE, one of the region’s most active crypto hubs.
