The tokenization of U.S. stocks sweeps across Wall Street: BNB Chain breaks the $1 billion market cap mark, and the NYSE steps in to usher in an around-the-clock trading era

I. Tokenized U.S. stocks reach a historic moment

In September 2026, global financial markets are witnessing a profound shift. The total market value of tokenized U.S. stocks has surpassed the $1 billion threshold. Among them, BNB Chain has overtaken Ethereum by leading market capitalization, becoming the biggest winner in the tokenized stocks track. Binance founder Zhao Changpeng reposted this milestone on social media, showing strong confidence in the development of the ecosystem.

Meanwhile, the New York Stock Exchange and Blockchain.com have officially signed a memorandum of cooperation. They plan to use the NYSE’s digital ATS platform to offer tokenized U.S.-listed stocks and ETF products to crypto-native investors, enabling continuous, uninterrupted trading around the clock. This partnership marks that traditional financial giants have officially embraced the wave of blockchain-based securities tokenization, and it also means that the barriers between Wall Street and the crypto world are accelerating toward dissolution.

II. Regulatory ice-breaking speeds up integration

The rapid rise of tokenized stocks cannot be separated from regulatory easing. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has recently launched a five-year innovative exemption program, providing a compliance framework for tokenized securities. Asset manager Grayscale has also publicly confirmed that on-chain stock trading can fully operate in a compliant manner, further reducing market concerns about legal risks.

Against this backdrop, Binance has launched 77 tokenized U.S. stock offerings and 196 traditional financial perpetual contract products, working to build an all-encompassing trading platform covering spot, derivatives, and tokenized securities. This comprehensive layout—from crypto-native to traditional finance—gives Binance a distinct niche in industry competition.

III. Hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve trigger market turbulence

However, macro-level uncertainty continues to disrupt markets. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields have surged to 5.13%, the highest level since July 2007. Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr hinted that further rate hikes may still be needed to bring inflation down to the 2% target level. Simultaneously, U.S. 30-year Treasury yields climbed to around 5.4%, and mortgage rates have exceeded 7%.

Rising yields have strengthened the U.S. dollar, putting pressure on risk assets. After breaking $86,000, Bitcoin saw a pullback. Previously, spot Bitcoin ETF inflows exceeding $17 billion—including BlackRock’s IBIT, which absorbed $1 billion within four days—had boosted market sentiment. But technical indicators show that the RSI once reached the overbought zone of 83.7; the MACD turned negative, and more than $500 million in crypto positions across the market were liquidated. The risk of a near-term pullback cannot be ignored.

IV. Predictions market and stablecoin layout advance in parallel

In terms of product innovation, the Binance Wallet launched the world’s first 15-minute stock rise/fall prediction market. Users can make real-time predictions on the price direction of major technology stocks and AI stocks. The product was rolled out simultaneously via the Binance App and the web, further expanding the platform’s business map into the field of traditional-finance-related prediction markets.

On the strategic front, Binance purchased 1,237,001 shares of Circle at a price of $80.84 per share, for a total investment of $100 million, and signed a five-year commercial cooperation agreement with Circle. This investment deepens Binance’s ties to USDC and the broader stablecoin infrastructure, positioning the platform more favorably in the institutional-grade stablecoin payment market.

V. Outlook for the future

The market is currently at a critical juncture for the deep integration of traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem. The explosive growth of tokenized U.S. stocks, the entry of legacy institutions such as the NYSE, and the gradual clarification of the regulatory framework are injecting long-term momentum into this track. However, in the short term, the Fed’s hawkish stance and elevated Treasury yields will still weigh on risk assets. Investors need to seize structural opportunities while closely monitoring shifts in macro policy and managing position sizing and risk exposure appropriately.
