06/21/2026, 11:20Investor interest in US shares traded via cryptocurrency infrastructure continues to grow. New instruments are appearing on the market that allow access to equity assets without the need for traditional brokerage services.
One of the most notable developments in recent weeks has been the launch on the Binance platform of a service enabling users outside the US to trade US shares. According to the company, trading volume exceeded $1 billion in the first nine days, with an average daily turnover of around $143 million.
The new service provides access to more than 7,000 US shares and ETFs via a regulated brokerage infrastructure. These are fractional shares, which allow investors to invest even with a small amount of capital.
The development of such products is taking place against the backdrop of growth in the tokenised shares market. Today, it comprises more than 200 tokens with a combined market capitalisation of around $1 billion. Such instruments allow digital equivalents of real shares to be issued on the blockchain and used within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
At the same time, analysts note differences between the models. Access to real shares via brokerage infrastructure is geared towards investment in the stock market, whereas tokenised assets can also be used in decentralised financial services.
The growth in trading volumes indicates that demand for US shares via digital platforms remains high. Experts believe that in the coming years, competition between traditional brokerage solutions and blockchain-based tools could become one of the key drivers of the digital asset market’s development.
