✔ Binance wants to come back with equity tokens on its platform.
✔ These products were halted in 2021 for regulatory reasons, but now the rules are changing (for example in Europe with MiCA).
✔ Other crypto and traditional players (NYSE, Nasdaq, OKX) are also interested, creating a global trend around tokenized securities.
✒️ But for now it's still exploratory, not a guaranteed official launch.
💫💖🌹 Binance is considering relaunching “equity tokens”, a crypto product that allows investment in stocks (Apple, Tesla, Microsoft…) in the form of tokens on the blockchain.
Problem: this product was banned about 5 years ago due to regulators.
Today, the issue is coming back very strongly... and even Wall Street is interested 😮
🧩 1. What exactly is a stock token?
A stock token is:
🪙 A digital token that represents a real share.
📉 You can buy a fraction of a share (no need to buy a whole share).
⏱️ The price follows the stock market price in real-time.
🔗 Everything is done through the blockchain without a traditional broker.
✒️ Example:
Don't have €1,000 to buy a Tesla stock? You can buy €10, €50, or €100 of Tesla via a token.
🎯 Objective: make the stock market accessible to the general public everywhere in the world.
⛔ 2. Why did Binance stop this 5 years ago?
Back in 2021, #Binance launched stock tokens (Tesla, Apple, Microsoft…). Immediate success... but 🚨 big regulatory problem:
🇬🇧 The British regulator (FCA)
🇩🇪 The German regulator (BaFin)
they say: 'These tokens look like stocks so they must comply with securities laws.'
However, there is no clear legal framework, no compliant custody rules, too vague for authorities.
✒️ Result: Binance stops everything after only 3 months.
The stock token market falls into silence... until today.
🚀 3. Why is it coming back strongly now (2026)?
Because everyone wants a piece of the pie 🍰
🔹 On the crypto side
Binance is coming back strong, OKX is positioning itself clearly, crypto exchanges want to become 'global exchanges'.
🔹 On the traditional finance side
🏛️ New York Stock Exchange
🏛️ NASDAQ
they also request permission to offer tokenized stocks.
💥 It's new: We're no longer talking about crypto versus traditional finance but about crypto + Wall Street together.
⚖️ 4. The real problem: the law (and it's tough)
Despite the enthusiasm, the biggest obstacle remains legal:
❌ Problem n°1
In the United States, the crypto law does not clearly define what a stock token is: Is it a stock? A derivative? A simple token?
✒️ As long as this point is not resolved, everything is blocked.
❌ Problem n°2
Even in the crypto industry, there is debate: Brian Armstrong (Coinbase) criticizes the current law. He asks that the SEC relax the rules.
Objective: allow innovation without blocking everything.
🌱 5. Why is this a MAJOR topic for the future?
Because stock tokens are at the heart of the RWA (Real World Assets) trend:
Tokenizing real assets: Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate, Commodities.
🆕 The novelty in 2026:
Tokens backed by real shares held 1:1,
No longer just a 'copy of the price',
A real bridge between blockchain and traditional finance.
📌 The arrival of Wall Street changes everything: This is no longer a crypto test. It is a potential revolution of the global financial system.
🌹 In one sentence (ultra simple): Stock tokens could democratize global investment but everything will depend on whether regulators agree to evolve the rules.
TO BE CONTINUED... 🥰
