Binance explores stock access in Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Brazil

Binance co-CEO Richard Teng said the exchange is working out how to give users exposure to stocks in Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Brazil, after customers asked for access to traditional markets. Writing on X, Teng quoted users as saying they want the top stocks in those four markets and said Binance is listening and exploring how to widen stock access. Bitcoin.com News reported the remarks first and described the work as exploratory; Crypto News, which republished the account under the same headline, carried the same description. Binance launched tokenized U.S. stocks in 2026 and those products passed $1 billion in assets under management in about four months, which both reports called a first for a tokenized equity product. Teng described the diversification as a way of weatherproofing the business, and Crypto News connected it to crypto prices staying well below their 2025 peaks and the resulting pressure on transaction-driven exchange revenue. Crypto News also reported that Coinbase has added stocks, perpetual futures and prediction markets as part of its everything-exchange strategy, and that OKX is developing tokenized U.S. equities through a venture with Intercontinental Exchange, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange. Neither report gives a launch date or sets out a market-by-market plan, so what Binance would actually offer in each market remains unsettled.
