I have no access to any American broker, so Tesla or Nvidia stocks aren’t for me. Documents, proof of residency—and in the end, still a rejection.
For a long time, I wondered why this barrier even exists. Turns out the infrastructure was built not for people from the CIS at all.
Somewhere between yet another rejection, I started looking into @BinanceCIS bStocks—they’re traded directly on the spot market on Binance, without a separate account.
At first, I was skeptical: is it a real stock or just a promise? But I found out that each bStock is backed by a real share on a 1:1 basis.
And what surprised me the most was the conversion itself. Users who meet the requirements can exchange the share for #bStocksCIS i and back with absolutely no fees. The exchange is handled by a separate operator, Nest Trading Limited, and it’s available practically 24/7. Pauses only happen while corporate actions are being processed or during technical maintenance.
The longer I studied it, the more I realized: it’s not a trick, it’s a normal infrastructure. The share flows into a token, and the token flows back into a share.
No bureaucracy between these steps.
Before, I used to wait for answers from brokers for weeks, and now everything is handled by a single click in a regular spot order book.
