If it’s not a real stock, then what exactly am I buying? 🤔

On the screen, everything looks familiar: NVIDIA, Tesla, Microsoft, a price chart, and a USDT trading pair. But technically, you’re not buying the actual stock.

A bStock is a tokenized certificate that provides price exposure to the underlying asset. Its value follows the corresponding stock, but owning the token does not make you a direct shareholder.

The foundation of #bStocksCIS is 1:1 backing:

1 bStock → 1 real share held in reserve.

The underlying shares are held by a regulated custodian, and the collateral can be verified through Proof of Collateral. In other words, this isn’t just a synthetic contract tracking a price, nor is it an unbacked token.

A bStock holder receives:

✔️ exposure to the underlying stock’s price movements;

✔️ the economic benefit of reinvested dividends;

✔️ the ability to convert between a bStock and the underlying asset at a 1:1 ratio.

However, holders do not receive voting rights, shareholder meeting access, or other corporate rights. So you get the economic side of the stock—but not legal shareholder status.

So why use a certificate instead?

@BinanceCIS bStocks are issued as BEP-20 tokens on BNB Chain. That makes it possible to trade them 24/7, withdraw them to a compatible wallet, hold them in self-custody, and use them in supported Web3 applications. Settlement takes less than a second, while the traditional stock market still relies on brokers, custodians, and conventional settlement infrastructure.

So the model is actually built on two layers:

a real share held in reserve + a blockchain token backed by that share. 📌

That’s the foundation that makes 24/7 trading, self-custody, near-instant settlement, and Web3 compatibility possible for bStocks.
