I think this update from Binance about bStocks is something that ordinary users should pay attention to.
In short, the eligibility has been expanded to all users’ cross-margin accounts and unified margin accounts. For ordinary users, VIP 1, and VIP 2: as long as your region and product meet the requirements and you complete the required suitability assessment, you may be able to use this feature.
So if you’re already paying attention to bStocks, what does this update have to do with you? I think you can look at it in three points:
First, who can use it?
“All users” doesn’t mean it’s opened globally without any conditions.
You still need to meet relevant eligibility requirements such as region, product, and account type. And for ordinary users, VIP 1, and VIP 2, before using bStocks as collateral, you must first complete the suitability assessment. So the first step is to confirm whether you are eligible.
Second, where can it be used?
At present, the focus is on cross-margin and unified margin accounts. In other words, bStocks isn’t just something you keep to watch price movements—if you meet the conditions, it can also be used as collateral within your account, adding another use case for your funds.
This is also what I think is worth paying attention to in this update. Of course, this doesn’t mean increased profits, and it doesn’t mean holding bStocks lets you obtain funds without risk.
Third, the risk hasn’t been removed.
If ordinary users, VIP 1, and VIP 2 hold bStocks as collateral, and the account risk reaches the corresponding threshold, it may trigger additional restrictions—for example, limiting further transfers of bStocks, restricting the purchase or borrowing of certain low-to-medium liquidity assets, and restricting opening new futures positions in unified margin accounts.
When the account risk returns to a safe level, the related restrictions will automatically be lifted.
One more detail you must pay attention to: VIP 3 and above are not subject to these newly added risk-control measures. That doesn’t mean VIP 3 has no other risk controls, nor does it mean losses or liquidations can’t happen.
Also, bStocks are tokenized securities. They are not directly holding the corresponding listed company’s stocks or shares, and they do not confer traditional shareholder rights.
So, the core of this update can be condensed into one sentence: bStocks has moved from “can be traded, can be held” to further adding the scenario “can be used as collateral when you meet the conditions,” and this eligibility now covers a wider range of users.
