Binance Launches bStocks Tokenized Securities With 4x Alpha Points Boost

What bStocks Are

bStocks are tokenized securities issued by BTech Holdings Limited, an affiliate within the Binance group. Each token is backed one-to-one by a real US share held at a regulated custodian, and Binance says the backing is verifiable on-chain. The tokens run on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC).

Crucially, holding a bStocks token does not grant voting rights or direct corporate ownership in the underlying listed company. Instead, the token represents a financial interest in the shares held by the issuer. Under ADGM rules, bStocks are classified as certificates representing certain financial instruments under the region's Financial Services and Markets Regulations.

Binance says the tokens trade 24/7, without the market-hour limits of conventional exchanges, and that users can convert between the tokens and their underlying equities at a flat one-to-one ratio with no conversion fees. Traders can also withdraw bStocks tokens to any BSC-compatible self-custody wallet.

The 4x Volume Campaign

Alongside the launch, Binance introduced a limited-time promotion applying a 4x multiplier to the trading volume users generate through bStocks transactions in the Binance Wallet. Under the scheme, a trade worth $1,000 is recorded by the Alpha Points system as $4,000 in effective volume, according to Ventureburn's reporting.

The mechanism is designed to help users climb the Alpha Points leaderboard faster, which in turn affects eligibility for launchpool and airdrop events. Traders can access the market through the Binance mobile app's Web3 wallet or the desktop Binance Wallet web interface under the Tokenized Securities section.

Binance warns that reward eligibility is subject to anti-fraud rules. Accounts flagged for wash trading, artificial market manipulation, bulk bot registrations or self-dealing may be disqualified and stripped of accumulated points.

Why It Matters

Tokenized real-world assets have become one of the more closely watched segments in crypto, promising to bring shares of the multi-trillion-dollar equities market onto blockchain rails. For markets in Africa where access to US equities is often limited by fees, banking hurdles and time zones, round-the-clock tokenized trading offers a potential alternative route.

Still, the campaign blends regulated equity exposure with points-farming incentives, a combination that carries risk. Access to both the products and the promotion is restricted by jurisdiction, and prospective users should confirm eligibility based on their country of residence before trading.

Bitcoin climbed back above $60,000 after weaker US economic data revived hopes that the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance may be softening.
