Binance has introduced stock options, bringing traditional equity derivatives into its crypto-native ecosystem. According to an official announcement, the new product offers physically settled options on US stocks and ETFs, giving users the right to buy, in the case of calls, or sell, in the case of puts, an underlying stock at a predetermined strike price on a specified expiration date. Binance says stock options give traders a new way to express directional views, hedge stock positions, and manage portfolio risk, all from a single Binance account. With the product, users can trade bullish or bearish exposure to US equities and ETFs with limited risk: for an option buyer, the maximum loss is capped at the premium paid. It means traders can use the same account they use for crypto trading to take part in traditional equity options, without needing a separate brokerage account. The launch is part of Binance’s push to bridge traditional market instruments and crypto-native infrastructure. The exchange announced the stock options on Sept 1, 2026.
