bStocks: when shares become an on-chain asset
The market for tokenized stocks is growing at an explosive pace—rising from a few million in capitalization in summer 2025 to nearly a billion today. Ondo and xStocks are still leading, but within two months after launching, bStocks already overtook xStocks and became the second-largest issuer—over $600M.
What it is: BEP-20 tokens from BTech Holdings (an affiliate of Binance), each 100% backed by a real share held with a regulated custodian. You get price movement and dividends, but not direct ownership of the share.
Compared to traditional options:
• Classic broker — direct ownership, trading only during exchange hours, full shareholder rights, separate account, and KYC.
• bStocks — trading 24/7, entry from $5, transfer to a self-custodial wallet, composability with DeFi on BNB Chain. The downside is that it’s a certificate rather than the actual share, plus a 30% tax on dividends for non-U.S. residents.
• Ondo, xStocks — the same “wrapper” model, but with different custodian and network infrastructure.
The main advantage of bStocks is holding exposure to Tesla or NVIDIA in the same wallet as the rest of your crypto portfolio, and immediately putting the tokens to work in DeFi.
This is not a stock in the legal sense; it’s a tokenized certificate—consider that before taking a long-term position.
