According to estimates, the price of bStocks on the weekends typically accounts for about 92% of the gap with which the underlying stock will open on Monday on a regular exchange. In other words, if something happens to the market on Saturday or Sunday—major news, earnings, geopolitics—the price of the tokenized share has already almost managed to digest it long before the start of classic trading. For an owner of an ordinary broker-held share, the weekend becomes a blind spot, while for a bStocks holder it’s more like a window that lets you see what will be happening on Monday. This doesn’t mean you should blindly guess the direction based on weekend moves alone; volatility during these hours is often higher than usual precisely because the order book is thinner. But it would also be wrong to ignore this signal—I try to at least check the bStocks price before I build a plan for the start of the week.
For those keeping an eye on the semiconductor sector, this is a separate reason to pay attention to $ASMLB and $SMCIB specifically on weekends, while the traditional exchange is asleep.

The classic barrier to entering the stock market is familiar to many across the CIS firsthand. One Class A share costs hundreds of thousands of dollars; a Nvidia share or $AAPLB also requires a significant amount for a proper lot with a broker, and getting a brokerage account with access to the US market isn’t always easy without residency in the required country or without a large deposit.
bStocks removes exactly this barrier. The token is tied to a share on a one-to-one basis, but you can buy not a whole share, but a fraction of it—literally for any amount in USDT or USDC that’s available in your balance. Want to buy a piece for five dollars $NVDAB ? You can—no one forces you to pay the full price of the share all at once. For me, this is primarily a matter of flexibility in managing risk when choosing position sizing. Fractional ownership lets you fit the trade more precisely to a specific risk budget, without being locked to an integer number of shares. This level of precision is usually only available through contracts for difference or through funds, but here it works directly with the tokenized asset itself.

Right now, it makes sense to build a small spread on bStocks on tokenized assets. Look for patterns where there weren’t any sharp directional moves—the price mostly churned in a tight range. Those conditions are usually favorable for strategies that profit from the price returning to its mean.
While we were analyzing the charts during the livestream, I explained in simple terms what it means to build a spread, and I remembered a very clear example. A satellite loves a game where you throw a ball back and forth between two points on the beach. It doesn’t run far off in one direction. Instead, it darts back and forth between the two places where the ball usually lands, catches it there, again and again—without any unnecessary bursts in an unpredictable direction.
A spread-collection strategy works similarly. The algorithm places orders at the two edges of the range, buys at the lower boundary, sells at the upper boundary, and repeats this over and over as long as the price stays within its usual channel. Such a strategy doesn’t guess the direction. It relies on patience and discipline in position sizing.

What happens to dividends and splits for tokenized shares.
At bStocks, this mechanism is implemented via an on-chain instrument referred to in the documentation as a Multiplier. When the underlying stock undergoes a split or dividends are paid, the ratio between the token and the underlying shares is adjusted, and the holder sees their position change without needing to do anything manually. Essentially, it’s a software layer on top of a custodial model that translates a corporate action from the traditional market into a balance change on the blockchain.
For a trader who enters bStocks for a few hours just for the spread, this mechanism is practically irrelevant—trades are closed long before any corporate events take place.
This transparency, by the way, is what makes bStocks interesting both for speculative trading and for a more relaxed portfolio approach. On today’s stream, I’ll also touch on this topic—if there are questions in the chat, I’ll go through specific tickers like $TSLAB and $SPCXB

#bstockscis @BinanceCIS
The key point that changes the economics of any automated strategy on bStocks:
Binance has set the maker fee to zero for all product pairs, and it remains in effect until August 31, 2026 at 23:59 UTC. For a manual trader, this is a nice bonus, and for an algorithmic strategy it’s effectively a change of the rules of the game.
Let me explain why. Any market-making bot—whether it’s a simple grid of orders or something more advanced with dynamic inventory management—lives off a large number of small trades. The bot places a limit order, waits for it to fill, moves the next one, and so goes on in a loop dozens or even hundreds of times per hour. Usually it’s the fee that limits how often most bots can reposition orders.
When the maker side is zero, the whole calculation changes. The bot can be configured with a tighter spread.
On top of that, bStocks’ order book is still noticeably thinner than that of top crypto pairs; the spread on many tickers—including $AAPLB and $NVDAB —is wider, which means the potential profit per trade is higher for the same volume.
Tomorrow on the stream I’ll break this down with a real example.

#bstockscis
Binance has now made the maker commission free for all bStocks pairs, and this will remain in effect until 31 August 2026 23:59 UTC. The standard spot fee for most users is 0.10% for both makers and takers. Right now, the maker side is free.
If you place a limit order that isn’t filled instantly and remains on the order book, you become a maker and add liquidity to the market. Usually, you’re also charged a small commission for this, even though logically it’s you who makes the market more convenient for the other participants. This fee has been temporarily removed specifically for tokenized stocks. Next comes my favorite part: the spread. For liquid crypto pairs like BTC/USDT, the spread between the best bid and the best ask is usually just pennies—there’s not much to collect without huge volumes. With bStocks, the order book is still noticeably thinner; the product is young, and the lineup only recently expanded to over fifty instruments. The difference between the best buy and the best sell on many pairs is noticeably wider, especially at night in New York time, when the traditional exchange is closed while bStocks continue trading. It’s exactly during these hours that the spread typically widens the most. @BinanceCIS

Today, I studied again how the direction of Babylon Trustless Bitcoin Vaults is developing, and I caught myself thinking that technology is somewhat like a relationship between people.

Much more important is trust, a sense of security and confidence that in a difficult moment everything will work exactly as you expect. That's why I'm interested in the concept of Trustless Bitcoin Vaults. It shows that security can be built not on blind faith, but on transparent mechanisms and pre-thought-out logic. 🔐

I like that the @BabylonLabs_io team focuses not only on the development of the ecosystem, but also on the practical protection of BTC. Many people are used to seeing Bitcoin solely as a means of storing value, but the development of TBV opens up new use cases without abandoning the key principles of decentralization. This area looks particularly promising against the background of the growing interest of large market participants in the secure management of digital assets. 📈
Sometimes I think that finding a soulmate is very similar to finding a really strong crypto project. You can endlessly look at bright promises, but in the end, only those who prove their worth remain. It's the same here: it's not loud slogans that attract me, but an engineering approach, attention to detail, and a desire to create an infrastructure that can be trusted for many years to come.

I believe that it is precisely such technologies that are gradually shaping the next stage in the development of the Bitcoin ecosystem. It will be interesting to see how Trustless Bitcoin Vaults will be implemented more widely and what new opportunities it will give to users and developers. 🚀

While walking my dog, I caught myself thinking that investing is very similar to a normal stroll. 🐕 While the dog explores every new scent, I’m constantly looking for new opportunities in the market and trying to understand which technologies truly change the usual approach to finance.
That’s exactly why I got interested in Binance bStocks. @BinanceCIS
The idea of tokenized stocks seems like a logical step in the development of the crypto industry. Many people have already gotten used to the fact that blockchain makes it possible to quickly transfer digital assets, but now there’s also an opportunity to access well-known global companies within the familiar crypto ecosystem. This makes the market more flexible and convenient for users who are already actively using Binance. What I like most is that the line between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies is gradually disappearing.
In my opinion, one of the main advantages of bStocks is convenience. Users don’t have to completely change their habits. If you already have experience working with digital assets on Binance, getting acquainted with tokenized stocks looks much easier.

Friends, see you live!

I stood with my phone and watched the quotes. On the screen, tickers $SPCXB , $NVDAB , and $TSLAB were glowing, and I caught myself thinking that a couple of years ago this kind of picture would’ve seemed strange to me. An СНГ crypto trader stands on the shores of the Black Sea and thinks about trading shares of Nvidia and Tesla—shares you can buy with USDT.
🐕🌊 This is bStocks. The product that Binance launched this June through its subsidiary structure, BTech Holdings Ltd, registered in Abu Dhabi Global Market under an approved FSRA prospectus. Each token is backed by a real share on a one-to-one basis, and the share itself is held by a custodian. The holder receives an economic interest in the underlying asset, but not direct ownership of the shares themselves. I always recommend that new users understand this detail before entering a position.
⚖️ Why I started using this in the first place. There are a few reasons, and they’re all tied to the real constraints faced by audiences in СНГ. Using stablecoins removes yet another barrier. A fractional Apple share can be bought directly from a balance in USDT or USDC, with the same action you’d normally use to buy an altcoin. For more about the product and breakdowns, read @BinanceCIS

Security in Trustless Bitcoin Vaults

From the outside, the Companion always looks cheerful and healthy, the coat is shiny, the appetite is excellent, and there is enough energy for three. But I stopped relying on my own observations a long time ago, because the owner is almost never objective in assessing his pet. That's why we have a veterinarian who conducts an independent examination once in a while, looks at tests, listens to the heart, checks what is simply not visible from the outside, no matter how convincing the dog looks at first glance.

It seems to me that this difference between "looks reliable" and "verified by someone else" best explains why I am pleased with @BabylonLabs_io approach to security in the architecture of Trustless Bitcoin Vaults. The team does not limit itself to its own assurances in the spirit of "everything is safe with us, take my word for it." The protocol's code base has been independently audited by several specialized bitcoin cryptography teams, including Coinspect, Zellic, and Cantina, meaning people who don't make sense to embellish the result, because their reputation is based on honest findings, not compliments to the client.
I think the recent Cantina security contest with a prize fund of $150,000, specifically aimed at finding vulnerabilities in Babylon bitcoin staking scripts, is particularly revealing. As a result, four vulnerabilities of high criticality and eleven of medium criticality were found, and all of them were closed before they could harm users. For me, this is not a cause for alarm, but exactly the opposite, this is exactly what a healthy system should look like.

We were walking together with a friend, Sergey @Ganarar and a Companion, an ordinary evening, nothing foreshadowed. Suddenly, a strange Labrador attacked the Companion, large, aggressive, aiming right at the throat. Everything happened in seconds, the moment when you physically don't have time to react first. Sergey made it. He rushed between the dogs and took the blow himself, getting bitten.

The more I understand the architecture of Trustless Bitcoin Vaults at @BabylonLabs_io the more clearly I see that this particular evening explains one of the principles of the protocol better than any technical diagram.
In classic staking, if something goes wrong, the blow is often taken by the one who can least afford it, that is, the owner's own trapped capital. In the Babylon architecture, this is arranged differently: if a Finality Provider violates the rules of consensus, it is the provider and the pre-agreed share of its own collateral that takes on the economic impact in the first place, rather than the arbitrary principle of the deposit of an ordinary staker. This does not mean that there is no risk at all, as I already wrote last time that choosing a provider remains the responsibility of the owner of the capital. But the protocol itself is designed so that someone or something stands between an external threat and your asset, ready to take the first blow, rather than leaving the asset unprotected at the time of the attack.

Sergei became just such a protection for his Companion that evening, not because it was stipulated by the rules, but because he was there and did not hesitate for a second. A well-designed system should not rely on such an accident every time. That's why it seems so important to me that Babylon puts a similar protection mechanism directly into the code, rather than leaving it to chance. 🐕🛡️

Trust in any financial infrastructure Trustless Bitcoin Vaults
It all starts with a hand that they are not afraid to take 🌊

There is a feeling that cannot be confused with anything else: the first glance in a crowd, when the noise around suddenly subsides, and a slight anxiety and curiosity mix inside. So, according to legend, a guy and a girl met, talked casually and unnoticed went on a long walk along the evening embankment.

And then there was another feeling, even more recognizable, the moment when he held out his hand, and she, without hesitation, put her own into it. At that moment, somewhere inside, there is a calm, almost childish feeling of security, mixed with a slight anticipation, as if something real is starting right now, although technically nothing special happened, just hand in hand under the sound of water and evening light. Nothing was said about the future, no one promised anything, but it was this simple, almost weightless gesture that gave rise to a long and trusting relationship, which later withstood much more serious tests of time.

I think this is how trust in any financial infrastructure should work, and this is especially noticeable in the way the user's path to Trustless Bitcoin Vaults is built at @BabylonLabs_io No one asks you to immediately give your savings to an unknown protocol. Bitcoin remains in your wallet, under your own key, locked through a transparent mechanism without being transferred to a third party. This is the outstretched hand that can be released at any moment.
Then the trust grows gradually. After native staking without the transfer of a custodian, the protocol opens multi-staking for several networks at once and the use of BTC as collateral in DeFi. Every next step is possible only because the first one was honest.
This is the secret of a long relationship, whether between people or between a person and a protocol. Trust is built with small honest gestures, until one day you notice that you have been walking along the embankment by the hand for many years

Multi-staking at Babylon

The "nearby" team with the Satellite has been perfected to the point of automatism, and I have always enjoyed watching how it works in a difficult environment. He can walk past other people's dogs, bowls of other people's food, interesting smells, but at the same time, shoulder to shoulder remains attached to my pace and direction. He doesn't stop noticing the world around him, but his every move is synchronized with me, and as soon as I turn off, he turns off with me without a single command.

Reading the Babylon technical documentation from @BabylonLabs_io I found myself thinking that this particular word, "nearby", best describes the principle on which multi-staking in the protocol is based. The same trapped bitcoin can simultaneously ensure the security of several different PoS networks, that is, literally participate in several "walks" at once, but at the same time each of these networks remains synchronized with bitcoin, and does not go to live by its own separate rules somewhere on the sidelines.
Technically, this works through the timestamping protocol: data from other networks is periodically recorded directly in the bitcoin blockchain, which allows these networks to verify their history with the most reliable chain in the crypt and instantly determine which version of events is canonical if there is an attempt to rewrite history or attack the network. This is not about bitcoin just borrowing money and walking away, it's about constantly checking the exchange rate, just like my dog checks his step with mine at every step of the walk, even if something distracting is happening around.

At the moment, over 57,000 BTC have already been frozen through the protocol, and this makes bitcoin one of the top 10 staking assets in general, which is quite unexpected, given that BTC was not classically adapted for staking at all. 🔐🐕

Checking Reserves and Verifying Trustless Bitcoin Vaults

I hide the object, give it a sniff, and the dog finds it on his own, without even seeing where I put it. 🐾🔍

My Companion and I have a game. I take something, hide it in another room while the dog sits and waits, then I give him to smell exactly the same object or a piece of cloth with the same smell, I say "sniff", followed by the command "look for". He didn't see where I put the thing, he doesn't have access to my memory of the hiding process, but he finds exactly that thing, exactly where it is, without a single clue from me.

The more I think about this game, the more clearly I see in it an analogy with another important feature of @BabylonLabs_io Trustless Bitcoin Vaults architecture, namely how third-party network participants can verify that the collateral really exists and is used according to the rules, without having access to the asset itself and without requiring, so that the owner can transfer something directly to them. In classic custodial schemes, verification usually works differently: to make sure that reserves are real, you either need to take the custodian's report at its word, or gain access to its internal data, that is, literally enter the room and see with your own eyes.
TBVS work through cryptographic proofs embedded directly into the bitcoin script, and this is much closer to the story of the smell than to the story of the personal inspection. The network or counterparty receives a kind of "sample", that is, cryptographic confirmation that the collateral exists, is blocked and used according to the stated conditions, and based on this, it can act without touching anything with its hands and without having access to the room itself, where bitcoin is physically located. The asset remains exactly where the owner left it, and verification takes place without anyone having to go there.

It seems to me that this principle, verification without access, is one of the most underestimated elements of Bitcoin DeFi.
