Yes, you can buy tokenized stocks on Binance when the U.S. stock market is closed, including weekends, through bStocks. Available to eligible users in Cambodia, bStocks trade 24/7 and provide exposure to underlying U.S. stocks rather than direct share ownership.
How Does Binance bStocks Enable 24/7 Trading?
bStocks are tokenized securities issued by BTech Holdings Limited, a Binance group affiliate. They are classified as Certificates representing certain Financial Instruments (paragraph 92, Schedule 1 to FSMR) and represent an interest in underlying securities held by the issuer. Unlike traditional stock exchanges that operate during set market hours, bStocks can be traded around the clock on Binance's spot market with 24/7 trading and instant settlement. Each bStock is backed 1:1 by the corresponding US share held at a regulated custodian.
bStocks are standard BEP-20 tokens on BNB Smart Chain, meaning you can withdraw them to any compatible crypto wallet for self-custody. You are never locked into a single brokerage.
bStocks also integrate with BEP-677 (Scaled UI Amount), a token standard designed to provide native support for real-world assets (RWAs) on BNB Smart Chain. This allows bStocks to be used across DeFi protocols.
How Do You Buy bStocks on Binance?
1. Buy the underlying stock with conversion enabled
Go to [Trade] > [Stock] and use any supported crypto (e.g., USDC, USD1, USDT, U, or BNB) to place a buy order for the underlying stock.
Toggle on the token conversion option before confirming your order. Once filled, your stock position is automatically converted into the corresponding bStock.
2. Convert existing stocks via token conversion
If you already hold stocks on the platform, you can use the token conversion function to convert them into bStocks at a 1:1 ratio with no fees. To do this:
Go to your Binance wallet.
Select the stock eligible for conversion in the asset tab.
Click or tap [Token Conversion].
Use the pencil icon to edit the amount.
Review the confirmation pop-up and confirm.
The reverse process (converting bStocks back to stocks) follows the same steps.
3. Buy bStocks directly on Binance Spot
Navigate to [Spot] > [bStocks], choose the token you want to buy, and trade it like any other crypto asset. bStocks spot trading is available 24/7.
What Should You Check Before Trading bStocks Over the Weekend?
1. Check the underlying stock market
U.S. stock markets generally close over the weekend, but Binance Spot bStocks can remain tradable 24/7. The token’s price can move independently of the last stock-market closing price.
2. Check liquidity and trading volume
Lower weekend activity may mean fewer buyers and sellers. Check the order book, trading volume, and spread before entering a position.
3. Watch for price gaps
Earnings announcements, company news, or macroeconomic developments over the weekend can affect expectations before U.S. markets reopen. The underlying stock may open at a significantly different price.
4. Review your order type
Consider using limit orders to control your entry price. A market order may execute at a less favorable price when liquidity is thin, and a limit order is not guaranteed to fill.
5. Set your risk limits
Decide how much you can afford to lose before trading. Avoid oversized positions, and remember that stop orders may not guarantee execution at the intended price.
6. Understand what bStocks actually represent
bStocks provide economic exposure to underlying securities; they are not the same as directly owning shares and do not confer direct shareholder or voting rights. Review the applicable product terms, fees, and eligibility restrictions
7. Prepare for Monday’s market reopening
Check upcoming earnings, economic releases, and other major events. If the market reopens with a sharp price move, your weekend position could face unexpected volatility.
