Binance said September 1 that it launched physically settled stock options on more than 1,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs for eligible users outside the United States. The rollout adds calls and puts to its TradFi stack, making defined-risk equity options the latest bridge between crypto-native accounts and traditional markets.
The product is offered through Nest Trading Limited, with Alpaca Securities handling execution, clearing, settlement and custody. Exercised contracts settle into the underlying shares rather than cash, while the first phase is long-only: users can buy calls or puts but cannot write options. Maximum buyer losses are limited to the premium paid, and only limit orders are initially supported.
Trading generally follows regular U.S. options-market hours, and users must complete an options suitability assessment before participating. The launch extends Binance’s existing direct-stock, tokenized-equity and TradFi perpetual products, leaving cross-product adoption and physically settled execution as the next tests of its expanding multi-asset model.
