Binance Unveils Options on 1,000+ US Stocks and ETFs as TradFi Perps Volume Hits $433B

What happened: Binance launched physically settled options on more than 1,000 US stocks and ETFs for eligible users outside the US, with trades routed via its ADGM-regulated broker-dealer and Alpaca Securities. In August, Binance’s TradFi perpetual futures volume soared to $433.4 billion—up 15-fold since January—driven by equity-linked perps, which now account for 79% of activity and have grown over 800x since the start of the year.

Why it matters: Binance’s aggressive expansion into tokenized TradFi products signals growing demand for cross-asset exposure and blurs the lines between traditional and crypto markets. The exclusion of US users underscores ongoing regulatory barriers, but the explosive growth in TradFi perps volume highlights the global appetite for synthetic equity trading on crypto-native platforms.
